class Particles

package h2d

extends Drawable › Object

@:access(h2d.ParticleGroup)

A 2D particle system with wide range of customizability.

The Particles instance can contain multiple ParticleGroup instances - each of which works independently from one another.

To simplify designing of the particles HIDE contains a dedicated 2D particle editor and stores the particle data in a JSON format, which then can be loaded with the Particles.load method:

var part = new h2d.Particles();
part.load(haxe.Json.parse(hxd.Res.my_parts_file.entry.getText()), hxd.Res.my_parts_file.entry.path);

Constructor

new(?parent:Object)

Create a new Particles instance.

Parameters:

parent

An optional parent h2d.Object instance to which Particles adds itself if set.

Methods

addGroup(?g:ParticleGroup, ?index:Int):Null<ParticleGroup>

Add new particle group to the Particles.

Parameters:

g

Particle group to add. If null, will create an empty ParticleGroup. Note that when passing existing group, it should be created with this Particles instanceas the constructor argument, otherwise it may lead to undefined behavior.

index

Optional insertion index at which the group should be inserted.

Returns:

Added ParticleGroup instance.

getGroup(name:String):ParticleGroup

Returns a group with a specified name or null if none found.

inlinegetGroups():ArrayIterator<ParticleGroup>

Returns an Iterator of particle groups within Particles.

load(o:Dynamic, ?resourcePath:String):Void

Loads previously saved Particles settings.

Parameters:

o

The saved Particles settings.

resourcePath

An optional path of the configuration file. May be safely omitted.

dynamiconEnd():Void

Sent when all particle groups stopped playback. Restarts all groups by default.

removeGroup(g:ParticleGroup):Void

Removes the group from the Particles.

save():Dynamic

Saves Particles settings and returns an object that can be saved into a file and then loaded with a Particles.load method.

Inherited Variables

Defined by Drawable

color:Vector4

The color multiplier for the drawable. Can be used to adjust individually each of the four channels R,G,B,A (default [1,1,1,1])

colorAdd:Null<Vector>

Setting colorAdd will add the amount of color of each channel R,G,B,A to the object pixels.

colorKey:Null<Int>

Setting a colorKey color value will discard all pixels that have this exact color in the tile.

colorMatrix:Null<Matrix>

Setting a colorMatrix will apply a color transformation. See also adjustColor.

smooth:Null<Bool>

By enabling smoothing, scaling the object up or down will use hardware bilinear filtering resulting in a less crisp aspect.

By default smooth is null in which case Scene.defaultSmooth value is used.

tileWrap:Bool

Enables texture uv wrap for this Drawable, causing tiles with uv exceeding the texture size to repeat instead of clamping on edges.

Note that tileWrap does not use the Tile region as a wrapping area but instead uses underlying h3d.mat.Texture size. This is due to implementation specifics, as it just sets the Texture.wrap to either Repeat or Clamp. Because of that, proper Tile tiling can be expected only when the tile covers an entire Texture area.

Defined by Object

private@:dox(show)allocated:Bool

A flag that indicates whether the object was allocated or not.

When adding children to allocated objects, onAdd is being called immediately, otherwise it's delayed until the whole tree is added to a currently active Scene.

@:value(1.)alpha:Float = 1.

The amount of transparency of the Object.

@:value(Alpha)blendMode:BlendMode = Alpha

The blending mode of the object.

If there is no Object.filter active, only applies to the current object (not inherited by children). Otherwise tells how the filter is blended with background.

filter:Filter

The post process filter for this object.

When set, Object.alpha value affects both filter and object transparency (use Drawable.color.a to set transparency only for the object).

name:String

The name of the object. Can be used to retrieve an object within a tree by using Object.getObjectByName.

read onlynumChildren:Int

How many immediate children this object has.

read onlyparent:Object

The parent object in the scene tree.

private@:dox(show)parentContainer:Object

The parent container of this object. See Object.contentChanged for more details.

private@:dox(show)posChanged:Bool

A flag that indicates that the object transform was modified and absolute position recalculation is required.

Automatically cleared on Object.sync and can be manually synced with the Object.syncPos.

@:value(0)rotation:Float = 0

The rotation angle of this object, in radians.

@:value(1)scaleX:Float = 1

The amount of horizontal scaling of this object.

@:value(1)scaleY:Float = 1

The amount of vertical scaling of this object.

@:value(true)visible:Bool = true

Is the object and its children are displayed on screen.

@:value(0)x:Float = 0

The x position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

@:value(0)y:Float = 0

The y position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

Inherited Methods

Defined by Drawable

addShader<T>(s:T):T

Add a shader to the drawable shaders.

Keep in mind, that as stated before, drawable children do not inherit Drawable properties, which includes shaders.

adjustColor(?col:Null<ColorAdjust>):Void

Set the Drawable.colorMatrix value by specifying which effects to apply. Calling adjustColor() without arguments will reset the colorMatrix to null.

getShader<T>(stype:Class<T>):T

Returns the first shader of the given shader class among the drawable shaders.

Parameters:

stype

The class of the shader to look up.

inlinegetShaders():ShaderIterator

Returns an iterator of all drawable shaders

removeShader(s:Shader):Bool

Remove a shader from the drawable shaders, returns true if found or false if it was not part of our shaders.

Defined by Object

private@:dox(show)addBounds(relativeTo:Object, out:Bounds, dx:Float, dy:Float, width:Float, height:Float):Void

Adds specified area in local coordinate space to the bounds. Expected to be used within Object.getBoundsRec.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An object relative to which the Object bounds coordinates should be. If not set, coordinates are in absolute coordinate space.

out

An output Bounds instance.

dx

The top-left X offset of the added bounds rectangle.

dy

The top-left Y offset of the added bounds rectangle.

width

The width of the added bounds rectangle.

height

The height of the added bounds rectangle.

addChild(s:Object):Void

Add a child object at the end of the children list.

addChildAt(s:Object, pos:Int):Void

Insert a child object at the specified position of the children list.

private@:dox(show)calcAbsPos():Void

Internal usage Calculates the absolute object position transform. See `Object.syncPos` for a safe position sync method. This method does not ensure that object parents also have up-to-date transform nor does it clear the `Object.posChanged` flag.

private@:value({ scaleY : 1., scaleX : 1. })@:dox(show)clipBounds(ctx:RenderContext, bounds:Bounds, scaleX:Float = 1., scaleY:Float = 1.):Void

Internal usage Clip the local bounds with our global viewport. Used during filter rendering in order to clip out areas that are off-screen and should not be rendered.

h2d.Scene note: clipBounds will always output bounds equivalent to entire window. This is done in order for scene to never clip out cameras as they may render virtually any area of the Scene.

private@:dox(show)constraintSize(maxWidth:Float, maxHeight:Float):Void

Advanced usage This can be called by a parent container to constraint the size of its children. Negative value mean that constraint is to be disabled.

For example, Text constraints it's maximum width, causing word-wrap to occur within constrained area.

See also:

contains(o:Object):Bool

Tells if the object is contained into this object children, recursively.

private@:dox(show)contentChanged(s:Object):Void

Advanced usage Called by the children of a container object if they have `parentContainer` defined in them. Primary use-case is when the child size got changed, requiring content to reevaluate positioning such as `Flow` layouts, but also can be used for other purposes.

private@:dox(show)draw(ctx:RenderContext):Void

Override this method in order to add custom graphics rendering to your Object. draw is invoked before rendering of the object children.

drawTo(t:Texture):Void

Draw the object and all its children into the given Texture.

drawToTextures(texs:Array<Texture>, outputs:Array<Output>):Void

Draw the object and all its children into the given Textures.

private@:dox(show)emitTile(ctx:RenderContext, tile:Tile):Void

Draws single Tile instance with this Object transform.

find<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>):Null<T>

Find a single object in the tree by calling f on each and returning the first not-null value returned, or null if not found.

findAll<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>, ?arr:Array<T>):Array<T>

Find several objects in the tree by calling f on each and returning all the not-null values returned.

Parameters:

arr

An optional array instance to fill results with. Allocates a new array if not set.

inlinegetAbsPos():Matrix

Returns the updated absolute position matrix. See Object.getMatrix for current matrix values.

getBounds(?relativeTo:Object, ?out:Bounds):Bounds

Return the bounds of the object for its whole content, recursively.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An optional object relative to coordinates of which bounds are returned. Returns bounds in the absolute coordinates if not set.

out

An optional bounds instance to fill. Allocates new Bounds instance and returns it if not set.

private@:dox(show)getBoundsRec(relativeTo:Object, out:Bounds, forSize:Bool):Void

Override this method in order to expand the reported bounds of an object. Object.addBounds can be used to add bounds with respect to relativeTo. Do not remove the super call.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An object relative to which the Object bounds coordinates should be.

out

An output Bounds instance.

forSize

Whether it's being called for Object.getSize or Object.getBounds.

getChildAt(n:Int):Object

Return the nth element among the immediate children list of this object, or null if there is no Object at this position.

getChildIndex(o:Object):Int

Return the index of the object o within the immediate children list of this object, or -1 if it is not part of the children list.

private@:dox(show)getMatrix(m:Matrix):Void

Populates m with current absolute object transform values. See Object.getAbsPos for up-to-date values.

getObjectByName(name:String):Object

Search for an object recursively by name, return null if not found.

getObjectsCount():Int

Return the total number of children in the whole tree, recursively.

getScene():Scene

Returns an h2d.Scene down the hierarchy tree or null if object is not added to Scene.

finalgetSize(?out:Bounds):Bounds

Similar to getBounds(parent), but instead of the full content, it will return the size based on the alignment of the object. For instance for a text, Object.getBounds will return the full glyphs size whereas getSize will ignore the pixels under the baseline.

Parameters:

out

An optional bounds instance to fill. Allocates new Bounds instance and returns it if not set.

globalToLocal(pt:Point):Point

Convert an absolute screen position into a local position relative to the object origin, applying all the inherited transforms.

Parameters:

pt

A position to convert and return. Modifies the Point instance as is.

inlineiterator():ArrayIterator_h2d_Object

Return an iterator over this object immediate children

localToGlobal(?pt:Point):Point

Convert a local position (or [0,0] if pt is null) relative to the object origin into an absolute screen position, applying all the inherited transforms.
