The Multi Pipeline is the core 2D texture rendering pipeline used by Phaser in WebGL. Virtually all Game Objects use this pipeline by default, including Sprites, Graphics and Tilemaps. It handles the batching of quads and tris, as well as methods for drawing and batching geometry data.

Prior to Phaser v3.50 this pipeline was called the TextureTintPipeline.

In previous versions of Phaser only one single texture unit was supported at any one time. The Multi Pipeline is an evolution of the old Texture Tint Pipeline, updated to support multi-textures for increased performance.

The fragment shader it uses can be found in shaders/src/Multi.frag. The vertex shader it uses can be found in shaders/src/Multi.vert.

The default shader attributes for this pipeline are:

inPosition (vec2, offset 0) inTexCoord (vec2, offset 8) inTexId (float, offset 16) inTintEffect (float, offset 20) inTint (vec4, offset 24, normalized)

The default shader uniforms for this pipeline are:

uProjectionMatrix (mat4) uMainSampler (sampler2D array)

If you wish to create a custom pipeline extending from this one, you can use two string declarations in your fragment shader source: %count% and %forloop%, where count is used to set the number of sampler2Ds available, and forloop is a block of GLSL code that will get the currently bound texture unit.

This pipeline will automatically inject that code for you, should those values exist in your shader source. If you wish to handle this yourself, you can also use the function Utils.parseFragmentShaderMaxTextures.

If you wish to create a pipeline that works from a single texture, or that doesn't have internal texture iteration, please see the SinglePipeline instead.

onActive(currentShader)
Focus
Focus

Description:

By default this is an empty method hook that you can override and use in your own custom pipelines.

This method is called every time the Pipeline Manager makes this the active pipeline. It is called at the end of the WebGLPipeline.bind method, after the current shader has been set. The current shader is passed to this hook.

For example, if a display list has 3 Sprites in it that all use the same pipeline, this hook will only be called for the first one, as the 2nd and 3rd Sprites do not cause the pipeline to be changed.

If you need to listen for that event instead, use the onBind hook.

Parameters:

name type description
currentShader Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.WebGLShader

The shader that was set as current.

onAfterFlush([isPostFlush])
Focus
Focus

Description:

By default this is an empty method hook that you can override and use in your own custom pipelines.

This method is called immediately after this pipeline has finished flushing its batch.

It is called after the gl.drawArrays call.

You can perform additional post-render effects, but be careful not to call flush on this pipeline from within this method, or you'll cause an infinite loop.

To apply changes pre-render, see onBeforeFlush.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
isPostFlush boolean <optional> false

Was this flush invoked as part of a post-process, or not?

Since: 3.50.0
Focus
Focus
onBatch([gameObject])
Focus
Focus

Description:

By default this is an empty method hook that you can override and use in your own custom pipelines.

This method is called every time the batchQuad or batchTri methods are called. If this was as a result of a Game Object, then the Game Object reference is passed to this hook too.

This hook is called after the quad (or tri) has been added to the batch, so you can safely call 'flush' from within this.

Note that Game Objects may call batchQuad or batchTri multiple times for a single draw, for example the Graphics Game Object.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
gameObject Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject <optional>

The Game Object that invoked this pipeline, if any.

onBeforeFlush([isPostFlush])
Focus
Focus

Description:

By default this is an empty method hook that you can override and use in your own custom pipelines.

This method is called every time this pipeline is asked to flush its batch.

It is called immediately before the gl.bufferData and gl.drawArrays calls are made, so you can perform any final pre-render modifications. To apply changes post-render, see onAfterFlush.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
isPostFlush boolean <optional> false

Was this flush invoked as part of a post-process, or not?

onBind([gameObject])
Focus
Focus

Description:

By default this is an empty method hook that you can override and use in your own custom pipelines.

This method is called every time a Game Object asks the Pipeline Manager to use this pipeline, even if the pipeline is already active.

Unlike the onActive method, which is only called when the Pipeline Manager makes this pipeline active, this hook is called for every Game Object that requests use of this pipeline, allowing you to perform per-object set-up, such as loading shader uniform data.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
gameObject Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject <optional>

The Game Object that invoked this pipeline, if any.

onDraw(renderTarget)
Focus
Focus

Description:

This method is only used by Post FX Pipelines and those that extend from them.

This method is called every time the postBatch method is called and is passed a reference to the current render target.

At the very least a Post FX Pipeline should call this.bindAndDraw(renderTarget), however, you can do as much additional processing as you like in this method if you override it from within your own pipelines.

Parameters:

name type description
renderTarget Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.RenderTarget

The Render Target.

Focus
setMatrix3fv(name, transpose, matrix, [shader])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets a matrix 3fv uniform value based on the given name on the currently set shader.

The current shader is bound, before the uniform is set, making it active within the WebGLRenderer. This means you can safely call this method from a location such as a Scene create or update method. However, when working within a Shader file directly, use the WebGLShader method equivalent instead, to avoid the program being set.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
name string

The name of the uniform to set.

transpose boolean

Whether to transpose the matrix. Should be false.

matrix Float32Array

The new values for the mat3 uniform.

shader Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.WebGLShader <optional>

The shader to set the value on. If not given, the currentShader is used.

Returns:

Description:

Binds the vertex buffer to be the active ARRAY_BUFFER on the WebGL context.

It first checks to see if it's already set as the active buffer and only binds itself if not.

Returns:
Description:

true if the vertex buffer was bound, or false if it was already bound.
