Phaser . GameObjects . Zone
A Zone Game Object.
A Zone is a non-rendering rectangular Game Object that has a position and size. It has no texture and never displays, but does live on the display list and can be moved, scaled and rotated like any other Game Object.
Its primary use is for creating Drop Zones and Input Hit Areas and it has a couple of helper methods specifically for this. It is also useful for object overlap checks, or as a base for your own non-displaying Game Objects. The default origin is 0.5, the center of the Zone, the same as with Game Objects.
Constructor:
new Zone(scene, x, y, [width], [height])

Description:
The active state of this Game Object.
A Game Object with an active state of true is processed by the Scenes UpdateList, if added to it.
An active object is one which is having its logic and internal systems updated.
Type:
Description:
The angle of this Game Object as expressed in degrees.
Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, 90 is down, 180/-180 is left and -90 is up.
If you prefer to work in radians, see the rotation property instead.
Type:
Description:
The Blend Mode of the Game Object. Although a Zone never renders, it still has a blend mode to allow it to fit seamlessly into display lists without causing a batch flush.
Type:
Description:
If this Game Object is enabled for Arcade or Matter Physics then this property will contain a reference to a Physics Body.
Type:
Description:
A bitmask that controls if this Game Object is drawn by a Camera or not.
Not usually set directly, instead call Camera.ignore, however you can
set this property directly using the Camera.id property:
Type:
Description:
A Data Manager.
It allows you to store, query and get key/value paired information specific to this Game Object.
null by default. Automatically created if you use getData or setData or setDataEnabled.
Type:
Description:
The depth of this Game Object within the Scene. Ensure this value is only ever set to a number data-type.
The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.
The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.
Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.
Type:
Description:
The displayed height of this Game Object. This value takes into account the scale factor.
Type:
Description:
Holds a reference to the Display List that contains this Game Object.
This is set automatically when this Game Object is added to a Scene or Layer.
You should treat this property as being read-only.
Description:
The horizontal display origin of this Game Object. The origin is a normalized value between 0 and 1. The displayOrigin is a pixel value, based on the size of the Game Object combined with the origin.
Type:
Description:
The vertical display origin of this Game Object. The origin is a normalized value between 0 and 1. The displayOrigin is a pixel value, based on the size of the Game Object combined with the origin.

Type:
Description:
This Game Object will ignore all calls made to its destroy method if this flag is set to true.
This includes calls that may come from a Group, Container or the Scene itself.
While it allows you to persist a Game Object across Scenes, please understand you are entirely
responsible for managing references to and from this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
If this Game Object is enabled for input then this property will contain an InteractiveObject instance.
Not usually set directly. Instead call GameObject.setInteractive().
Description:
The name of this Game Object. Empty by default and never populated by Phaser, this is left for developers to use.
Type:
Description:
The horizontal origin of this Game Object.
The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object.
The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center.
Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the left of the Game Object.
Set this value with setOrigin().
Type:
Description:
The vertical origin of this Game Object.
The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object.
The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center.
Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the top of the Game Object.
Set this value with setOrigin().
Type:
Description:
The parent Container of this Game Object, if it has one.
Description:
The flags that are compared against RENDER_MASK to determine if this Game Object will render or not.
The bits are 0001 | 0010 | 0100 | 1000 set by the components Visible, Alpha, Transform and Texture respectively.
If those components are not used by your custom class then you can use this bitmask as you wish.
Type:
Description:
The angle of this Game Object in radians.
Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, PI/2 is down, +-PI is left and -PI/2 is up.
If you prefer to work in degrees, see the angle property instead.
Type:
Description:
This is a special setter that allows you to set both the horizontal and vertical scale of this Game Object
to the same value, at the same time. When reading this value the result returned is (scaleX + scaleY) / 2.
Use of this property implies you wish the horizontal and vertical scales to be equal to each other. If this
isn't the case, use the scaleX or scaleY properties instead.
Type:
Description:
The horizontal scale of this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
The vertical scale of this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
A reference to the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.
Game Objects can only belong to one Scene.
You should consider this property as being read-only. You cannot move a Game Object to another Scene by simply changing it.
Type:
Description:
The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.
The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.
When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.
A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.
Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.
Type:
Description:
The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object.
The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.
When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.
A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.
Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.
Type:
Description:
The current state of this Game Object.
Phaser itself will never modify this value, although plugins may do so.
Use this property to track the state of a Game Object during its lifetime. For example, it could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), or a string. These are recommended to keep it light and simple, with fast comparisons. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.
Type:
Description:
The Tab Index of the Game Object. Reserved for future use by plugins and the Input Manager.
Type:
Description:
A textual representation of this Game Object, i.e. sprite.
Used internally by Phaser but is available for your own custom classes to populate.
Type:
Description:
The visible state of the Game Object.
An invisible Game Object will skip rendering, but will still process update logic.
Type:
Description:
The w position of this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
The native (un-scaled) width of this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
The x position of this Game Object.
Type:
Description:
The y position of this Game Object.

Description:
Adds this Game Object to the given Display List.
If no Display List is specified, it will default to the Display List owned by the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.
A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely between them.
If this Game Object is already on another Display List when this method is called, it will first be removed from it, before being added to the new list.
You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.
If a Game Object isn't on any display list, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly
disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| displayList | Phaser.GameObjects.DisplayList | Phaser.GameObjects.Layer | <optional> |
The Display List to add to. Defaults to the Scene Display List. |
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Type:
Description:
Adds this Game Object to the Update List belonging to the Scene.
When a Game Object is added to the Update List it will have its preUpdate method called
every game frame. This method is passed two parameters: delta and time.
If you wish to run your own logic within preUpdate then you should always call
super.preUpdate(delta, time) within it, or it may fail to process required operations,
such as Sprite animations.
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Type:
Description:
This callback is invoked when this Game Object is added to a Scene.
Can be overriden by custom Game Objects, but be aware of some Game Objects that will use this, such as Sprites, to add themselves into the Update List.

Type:
Description:
Destroys this Game Object removing it from the Display List and Update List and severing all ties to parent resources.
Also removes itself from the Input Manager and Physics Manager if previously enabled.
Use this to remove a Game Object from your game if you don't ever plan to use it again. As long as no reference to it exists within your own code it should become free for garbage collection by the browser.
If you just want to temporarily disable an object then look at using the Game Object Pool instead of destroying it, as destroyed objects cannot be resurrected.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Type:
Description:
Removes this Game Object from the Display List it is currently on.
A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely removed and added back at a later stage.
You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.
If a Game Object isn't on any Display List, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly
disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Type:
Description:
Removes this Game Object from the Scene's Update List.
When a Game Object is on the Update List, it will have its preUpdate method called
every game frame. Calling this method will remove it from the list, preventing this.
Removing a Game Object from the Update List will stop most internal functions working. For example, removing a Sprite from the Update List will prevent it from being able to run animations.
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Type:
Description:
If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will queue it for removal, causing it to no longer be interactive. The removal happens on the next game step, it is not immediate.
The Interactive Object that was assigned to this Game Object will be destroyed, removed from the Input Manager and cleared from this Game Object.
If you wish to re-enable this Game Object at a later date you will need to
re-create its InteractiveObject by calling setInteractive again.
If you wish to only temporarily stop an object from receiving input then use
disableInteractive instead, as that toggles the interactive state, where-as
this erases it completely.
If you wish to resize a hit area, don't remove and then set it as being
interactive. Instead, access the hitarea object directly and resize the shape
being used. I.e.: sprite.input.hitArea.setSize(width, height) (assuming the
shape is a Rectangle, which it is by default.)
Returns:
Description:
This GameObject.
Type:
Description:

Only remove one-time listeners. |
Returns:
Description:
this.
Type:
Description:
This callback is invoked when this Game Object is removed from a Scene.
Can be overriden by custom Game Objects, but be aware of some Game Objects that will use this, such as Sprites, to removed themselves from the Update List.
You can also listen for the REMOVED_FROM_SCENE event from this Game Object.
Description:
Sets the active property of this Game Object and returns this Game Object for further chaining.
A Game Object with its active property set to true will be updated by the Scenes UpdateList.

Type:
Description:
Allows you to store a key value pair within this Game Objects Data Manager.
If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled
before setting the value.
If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.
sprite.setData('name', 'Red Gem Stone');
You can also pass in an object of key value pairs as the first argument:
sprite.setData({ name: 'Red Gem Stone', level: 2, owner: 'Link', gold: 50 });
To get a value back again you can call getData:
sprite.getData('gold');
Or you can access the value directly via the values property, where it works like any other variable:
sprite.data.values.gold += 50;
When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.
If the key already exists, a changedata event is emitted instead, along an event named after the key.
For example, if you updated an existing key called PlayerLives then it would emit the event changedata-PlayerLives.
These events will be emitted regardless if you use this method to set the value, or the direct values setter.
Please note that the data keys are case-sensitive and must be valid JavaScript Object property strings.
This means the keys gold and Gold are treated as two unique values within the Data Manager.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | string | object |
The key to set the value for. Or an object of key value pairs. If an object the |

Description:
The depth of this Game Object within the Scene.
The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.
The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.
Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| value | number |
The depth of this Game Object. Ensure this value is only ever a number data-type. |

Allows you to define your own Geometry shape to be used as a Drop Zone.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| hitArea | object | <optional> |
A Geometry shape instance, such as Phaser.Geom.Ellipse, or your own custom shape. If not given it will try to create a Rectangle based on the size of this zone. |

Type:
Description:
Pass this Game Object to the Input Manager to enable it for Input.
Input works by using hit areas, these are nearly always geometric shapes, such as rectangles or circles, that act as the hit area for the Game Object. However, you can provide your own hit area shape and callback, should you wish to handle some more advanced input detection.
If no arguments are provided it will try and create a rectangle hit area based on the texture frame the Game Object is using. If this isn't a texture-bound object, such as a Graphics or BitmapText object, this will fail, and you'll need to provide a specific shape for it to use.
You can also provide an Input Configuration Object as the only argument to this method.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hitArea | any | Phaser.Types.Input.InputConfiguration | <optional> |
Either an input configuration object, or a geometric shape that defines the hit area for the Game Object. If not given it will try to create a Rectangle based on the texture frame. |
|
| callback | Phaser.Types.Input.HitAreaCallback | <optional> |
The callback that determines if the pointer is within the Hit Area shape or not. If you provide a shape you must also provide a callback. |
|
| dropZone | boolean | <optional> | false |
Should this Game Object be treated as a drop zone target? |
Returns:
Description:

Description:
Sets the scroll factor of this Game Object.
The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.
When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.
A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.
Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| x | number |
The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object. |
||
| y | number | <optional> | x |

Description:
Sets the current state of this Game Object.
Phaser itself will never modify the State of a Game Object, although plugins may do so.
For example, a Game Object could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should typically be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), but could also be a string. It is recommended to keep it light and simple. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.
Parameters:
