Version: Phaser v3.90.0

MultiPipeline

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)

uResolution (vec2)

uMainSampler (sampler2D, or 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.

The following fragment shader shows how to use the two variables:


#define SHADER_NAME PHASER_MULTI_FS



#ifdef GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH

precision highp float;

#else

precision mediump float;

#endif



uniform sampler2D uMainSampler[%count%];



varying vec2 outTexCoord;

varying float outTexId;

varying float outTintEffect;

varying vec4 outTint;



void main ()

{

    vec4 texture;



    %forloop%



    vec4 texel = vec4(outTint.bgr * outTint.a, outTint.a);



    //  Multiply texture tint

    vec4 color = texture * texel;



    if (outTintEffect == 1.0)

    {

        //  Solid color + texture alpha

        color.rgb = mix(texture.rgb, outTint.bgr * outTint.a, texture.a);

    }

    else if (outTintEffect == 2.0)

    {

        //  Solid color, no texture

        color = texel;

    }



    gl_FragColor = color;

}

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. If you wish to create

a special effect, especially one that can impact the pixels around a texture (i.e. such as

a glitch effect) then you should use the PreFX and PostFX Pipelines for this task.

batchFillPath​

<instance> batchFillPath(path, currentMatrix, parentMatrix)​

Description:

Adds the given path to the vertex batch for rendering.

It works by taking the array of path data and then passing it through Earcut, which

creates a list of polygons. Each polygon is then added to the batch.

The path is always automatically closed because it's filled.

Parameters:

pathArray.<Phaser.Types.Math.Vector2Like>NoCollection of points that represent the path.
currentMatrixPhaser.GameObjects.Components.TransformMatrixNoThe current transform.
parentMatrixPhaser.GameObjects.Components.TransformMatrixNoThe parent transform.
