A wrapper around a Tile that provides access to a corresponding Matter body. A tile can only have one Matter body associated with it. You can either pass in an existing Matter body for the tile or allow the constructor to create the corresponding body for you. If the Tile has a collision group (defined in Tiled), those shapes will be used to create the body. If not, the tile's rectangle bounding box will be used.

The corresponding body will be accessible on the Tile itself via Tile.physics.matterBody.

Note: not all Tiled collision shapes are supported. See Phaser.Physics.Matter.TileBody#setFromTileCollision for more information.

Constructor:

new TileBody(world, tile, [options])

Parameters:

name type arguments description
world Phaser.Physics.Matter.World

The Matter world instance this body belongs to.

tile Phaser.Tilemaps.Tile

The target tile that should have a Matter body.

options Phaser.Types.Physics.Matter.MatterTileOptions <optional>

Options to be used when creating the Matter body.

setBounce(value)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the restitution on the physics object.

Parameters:

name type description
value number

A Number that defines the restitution (elasticity) of the body. The value is always positive and is in the range (0, 1). A value of 0 means collisions may be perfectly inelastic and no bouncing may occur. A value of 0.8 means the body may bounce back with approximately 80% of its kinetic energy. Note that collision response is based on pairs of bodies, and that restitution values are combined with the following formula: Math.max(bodyA.restitution, bodyB.restitution)

Focus

Description:

Sets the collision category of this Game Object's Matter Body. This number must be a power of two between 2^0 (= 1) and 2^31.

Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets new friction values for this Game Object's Matter Body.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
value number

The new friction of the body, between 0 and 1, where 0 allows the Body to slide indefinitely, while 1 allows it to stop almost immediately after a force is applied.

air number <optional>

If provided, the new air resistance of the Body. The higher the value, the faster the Body will slow as it moves through space. 0 means the body has no air resistance.

fstatic number <optional>

If provided, the new static friction of the Body. The higher the value (e.g. 10), the more force it will take to initially get the Body moving when it is nearly stationary. 0 means the body will never "stick" when it is nearly stationary.

Focus
setFromTileCollision([options])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the current body from the collision group associated with the Tile. This is typically set up in Tiled's collision editor.

Note: Matter doesn't support all shapes from Tiled. Rectangles and polygons are directly supported. Ellipses are converted into circle bodies. Polylines are treated as if they are closed polygons. If a tile has multiple shapes, a multi-part body will be created. Concave shapes are supported if poly-decomp library is included. Decomposition is not guaranteed to work for complex shapes (e.g. holes), so it's often best to manually decompose a concave polygon into multiple convex polygons yourself.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
options Phaser.Types.Physics.Matter.MatterBodyTileOptions <optional>

Options to be used when creating the Matter body. See MatterJS.Body for a list of what Matter accepts.

Returns:
