A 2D Light.

These are created by the Phaser.GameObjects.LightsManager, available from within a scene via this.lights.

Any Game Objects using the Light2D pipeline will then be affected by these Lights as long as they have a normal map.

They can also simply be used to represent a point light for your own purposes.

Lights cannot be added to Containers. They are designed to exist in the root of a Scene.

Constructor:

new Light(x, y, radius, r, g, b, intensity)

Parameters:

name type description
x number

The horizontal position of the light.

y number

The vertical position of the light.

radius number

The radius of the light.

r number

The red color of the light. A value between 0 and 1.

g number

The green color of the light. A value between 0 and 1.

Focus
Focus
scrollFactorX: number
Focus
Focus

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.
