A Nine Slice Game Object allows you to display a texture-based object that can be stretched both horizontally and vertically, but that retains fixed-sized corners. The dimensions of the corners are set via the parameters to this class.

This is extremely useful for UI and button like elements, where you need them to expand to accommodate the content without distorting the texture.

The texture you provide for this Game Object should be based on the following layout structure:

Copy     A                          B
   +---+----------------------+---+
 C | 1 |          2           | 3 |
   +---+----------------------+---+
   |   |                      |   |
   | 4 |          5           | 6 |
   |   |                      |   |
   +---+----------------------+---+
 D | 7 |          8           | 9 |
   +---+----------------------+---+

When changing this objects width and / or height:

Copyareas 1, 3, 7 and 9 (the corners) will remain unscaled
areas 2 and 8 will be stretched horizontally only
areas 4 and 6 will be stretched vertically only
area 5 will be stretched both horizontally and vertically

You can also create a 3 slice Game Object:

This works in a similar way, except you can only stretch it horizontally. Therefore, it requires less configuration:

Copy     A                          B
   +---+----------------------+---+
   |   |                      |   |
 C | 1 |          2           | 3 |
   |   |                      |   |
   +---+----------------------+---+

When changing this objects width (you cannot change its height)

Copyareas 1 and 3 will remain unscaled
area 2 will be stretched horizontally

The above configuration concept is adapted from the Pixi NineSlicePlane.

To specify a 3 slice object instead of a 9 slice you should only provide the leftWidth and rightWidth parameters. To create a 9 slice you must supply all parameters.

The minimum width this Game Object can be is the total of leftWidth + rightWidth. The minimum height this Game Object can be is the total of topHeight + bottomHeight. If you need to display this object at a smaller size, you can scale it.

In terms of performance, using a 3 slice Game Object is the equivalent of having 3 Sprites in a row. Using a 9 slice Game Object is the equivalent of having 9 Sprites in a row. The vertices of this object are all batched together and can co-exist with other Sprites and graphics on the display list, without incurring any additional overhead.

As of Phaser 3.60 this Game Object is WebGL only.

As of Phaser 3.70 this Game Object can now populate its values automatically if they have been set within Texture Packer 7.1.0 or above and exported with the atlas json. If this is the case, you can just call this method without specifying anything more than the texture key and frame and it will pull the area data from the atlas.

• SCREEN
• ERASE

Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency of which blend modes are used.

scrollFactorX

scrollFactorX: number

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.

scrollFactorY

scrollFactorY: number

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.

state

state: number, string

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.

addToDisplayList

<instance> addToDisplayList([displayList])

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:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object.

createBitmapMask

<instance> createBitmapMask([maskObject], [x], [y], [texture], [frame])

Description:

Creates and returns a Bitmap Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one, or a Dynamic Texture.

Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a renderable Game Object. A renderable Game Object is one that uses a texture to render with, such as an Image, Sprite, Render Texture or BitmapText.

If you do not provide a renderable object, and this Game Object has a texture, it will use itself as the object. This means you can call this method to create a Bitmap Mask from any renderable texture-based Game Object.

Tags:

createGeometryMask

<instance> createGeometryMask([graphics])

Description:

Creates and returns a Geometry Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a Graphics Game Object.

If you do not provide a graphics object, and this Game Object is an instance of a Graphics object, then it will use itself to create the mask.

This means you can call this method to create a Geometry Mask from any Graphics Game Object.

destroy

<instance> destroy([fromScene])

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:

Fires: Phaser.GameObjects.Events#event:DESTROY

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#destroy

Source: src/gameobjects/GameObject.js#L855
Since: 3.0.0

---

disableInteractive

<instance> disableInteractive([resetCursor])

Description:

If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will disable it.

An object that is disabled for input stops processing or being considered for input events, but can be turned back on again at any time by simply calling setInteractive() with no arguments provided.

If want to completely remove interaction from this Game Object then use removeInteractive instead.

getData

<instance> getData(key)

Description:

Retrieves the value for the given key in this Game Objects Data Manager, or undefined if it doesn't exist.

You can also access values via the values object. For example, if you had a key called gold you can do either:

Copysprite.getData('gold');

Or access the value directly:

Copysprite.data.values.gold;

You can also pass in an array of keys, in which case an array of values will be returned:

Copysprite.getData([ 'gold', 'armor', 'health' ]);

This approach is useful for destructuring arrays in ES6.

Parameters:

Returns: * - The value belonging to the given key, or an array of values, the order of which will match the input array.

getDisplayList

<instance> getDisplayList()

Description:

Returns a reference to the underlying display list array that contains this Game Object, which will be either the Scene's Display List or the internal list belonging to its parent Container, if it has one.

If this Game Object is not on a display list or in a container, it will return null.

You should be very careful with this method, and understand that it returns a direct reference to the internal array used by the Display List. Mutating this array directly can cause all kinds of subtle and difficult to debug issues in your game.

Returns: Array.<Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject> - The internal Display List array of Game Objects, or null.

removeFromUpdateList

<instance> removeFromUpdateList()

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.

Since: 3.53.0

---

removeInteractive

<instance> removeInteractive([resetCursor])

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.)

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This GameObject.

Source: src/gameobjects/components/Depth.js#L167
Since: 3.85.0

---

setBlendMode

<instance> setBlendMode(value)

Description:

Sets the Blend Mode being used by this Game Object.

This can be a const, such as Phaser.BlendModes.SCREEN, or an integer, such as 4 (for Overlay)

Under WebGL only the following Blend Modes are available:

• NORMAL
• ADD
• MULTIPLY
• SCREEN
• ERASE (only works when rendering to a framebuffer, like a Render Texture)

Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency in which blend modes are used.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.BlendMode#setBlendMode

Source: src/gameobjects/components/BlendMode.js#L80
Since: 3.0.0

---

setData

<instance> setData(key, [data])

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.

Copysprite.setData('name', 'Red Gem Stone');

You can also pass in an object of key value pairs as the first argument:

Copysprite.setData({ name: 'Red Gem Stone', level: 2, owner: 'Link', gold: 50 });

To get a value back again you can call getData:

Copysprite.getData('gold');

Or you can access the value directly via the values property, where it works like any other variable:

Copysprite.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.

setDepth

<instance> setDepth(value)

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:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

setDisplayOrigin

<instance> setDisplayOrigin([x], [y])

Description:

Sets the display origin of this Game Object. The difference between this and setting the origin is that you can use pixel values for setting the display origin.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Origin#setDisplayOrigin

Source: src/gameobjects/components/Origin.js#L159
Since: 3.0.0

setDisplaySize

<instance> setDisplaySize(width, height)

Description:

Sets the display size of this Game Object.

Calling this will adjust the scale.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Source: src/gameobjects/nineslice/NineSlice.js#L856
Since: 3.60.0

---

setFrame

<instance> setFrame(frame, [updateSize], [updateOrigin])

Description:

Sets the frame this Game Object will use to render with.

If you pass a string or index then the Frame has to belong to the current Texture being used by this Game Object.

If you pass a Frame instance, then the Texture being used by this Game Object will also be updated.

Calling setFrame will modify the width and height properties of your Game Object.

It will also change the origin if the Frame has a custom pivot point, as exported from packages like Texture Packer.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Texture#setFrame

Source: src/gameobjects/components/Texture.js#L75
Since: 3.0.0

---

setInteractive

<instance> setInteractive([hitArea], [callback], [dropZone])

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:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This GameObject.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#setInteractive

Source: src/gameobjects/GameObject.js#L456
Since: 3.0.0

---

setMask

<instance> setMask(mask)

Description:

Sets the mask that this Game Object will use to render with.

The mask must have been previously created and can be either a GeometryMask or a BitmapMask. Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

If a mask is already set on this Game Object it will be immediately replaced.

Masks are positioned in global space and are not relative to the Game Object to which they are applied. The reason for this is that multiple Game Objects can all share the same mask.

Masks have no impact on physics or input detection. They are purely a rendering component that allows you to limit what is visible during the render pass.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

setPostPipeline

<instance> setPostPipeline(pipelines, [pipelineData], [copyData])

Description:

Sets one, or more, Post Pipelines on this Game Object.

Post Pipelines are invoked after this Game Object has rendered to its target and are commonly used for post-fx.

The post pipelines are appended to the postPipelines array belonging to this Game Object. When the renderer processes this Game Object, it iterates through the post pipelines in the order in which they appear in the array. If you are stacking together multiple effects, be aware that the order is important.

If you call this method multiple times, the new pipelines will be appended to any existing post pipelines already set. Use the resetPostPipeline method to clear them first, if required.

You can optionally also set the postPipelineData property, if the parameter is given.

setRandomPosition

<instance> setRandomPosition([x], [y], [width], [height])

Description:

Sets the position of this Game Object to be a random position within the confines of the given area.

If no area is specified a random position between 0 x 0 and the game width x height is used instead.

The position does not factor in the size of this Game Object, meaning that only the origin is guaranteed to be within the area.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

---

setScrollFactor

<instance> setScrollFactor(x, [y])

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:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.ScrollFactor#setScrollFactor

Source: src/gameobjects/components/ScrollFactor.js#L64
Since: 3.0.0

---

setSize

<instance> setSize(width, height)

Description:

Sets the size of this Game Object.

For a Nine Slice Game Object this means it will be stretched (or shrunk) horizontally and vertically depending on the dimensions given to this method, in accordance with how it has been configured for the various corner sizes.

If this is a 3-slice object, you can only stretch it horizontally and changing the height will be ignored.

If you have enabled this Game Object for input, changing the size will also change the size of the hit area.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Source: src/gameobjects/nineslice/NineSlice.js#L817
Since: 3.60.0

---

setSizeToFrame

<instance> setSizeToFrame()

Description:

This method is included but does nothing for the Nine Slice Game Object, because the size of the object isn't based on the texture frame.

You should not call this method.

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Source: src/gameobjects/nineslice/NineSlice.js#L953
Since: 3.60.0

---

setSlices

<instance> setSlices([width], [height], [leftWidth], [rightWidth], [topHeight], [bottomHeight], [skipScale9])

Description:

Resets the width, height and slices for this NineSlice Game Object.

This allows you to modify the texture being used by this object and then reset the slice configuration, to avoid having to destroy this Game Object in order to use it for a different game element.

Please note that you cannot change a 9-slice to a 3-slice or vice versa.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Source: src/gameobjects/nineslice/NineSlice.js#L340
Since: 3.60.0

---

setState

<instance> setState(value)

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:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This GameObject.

Since: 3.16.0

---

setTexture

<instance> setTexture(key, [frame], [updateSize], [updateOrigin])

Description:

Sets the texture and frame this Game Object will use to render with.

Textures are referenced by their string-based keys, as stored in the Texture Manager.

Calling this method will modify the width and height properties of your Game Object.

It will also change the origin if the Frame has a custom pivot point, as exported from packages like Texture Packer.

Parameters:

Returns: Phaser.GameObjects.NineSlice - This Game Object instance.

Inherits: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Texture#setTexture

Source: src/gameobjects/components/Texture.js#L49
Since: 3.0.0

setTint

<instance> setTint([color])

Description:

Sets an additive tint on this Game Object.

The tint works by taking the pixel color values from the Game Objects texture, and then multiplying it by the color value of the tint.

To modify the tint color once set, either call this method again with new values or use the tint property.

To remove a tint call clearTint, or call this method with no parameters.

To swap this from being an additive tint to a fill based tint set the property tintFill to true.

Since: 3.60.0

---

setTintFill

<instance> setTintFill([color])

Description:

Sets a fill-based tint on this Game Object.

Unlike an additive tint, a fill-tint literally replaces the pixel colors from the texture with those in the tint. You can use this for effects such as making a player flash 'white' if hit by something. The whole Game Object will be rendered in the given color.

To modify the tint color once set, either call this method again with new values or use the tint property.

To remove a tint call clearTint, or call this method with no parameters.

To swap this from being a fill-tint to an additive tint set the property tintFill to false.
