Phaser Editor Simple Animation Scripts (library)

Warning: This project is deprecated. It is now part of the @phaserjs/editor-scripts-quick library.

This project contains Phaser Editor scripts for adding simple animations to your game.

These script nodes are very basic and may fit on any Phaser Editor project.

The scripts are coded in TypeScript with ES modules.

Installing (NPM)

This package depends on the following packages:

• @phaserjs/editor-scripts-core

To install this in your game you have to install dependencies too:

npm install @phaserjs/editor-scripts-core
npm install @phaserjs/editor-scripts-simple-animations

Also, you should add this package to the phasereditor2d.config.json file in your project, in the scripts section:

{
    "scripts": [
        "@phaserjs/editor-scripts-core",
        "@phaserjs/editor-scripts-simple-animations"
    ]
}

Installing (vanilla JavaScript)

• Get the files in the browser folder and copy them into your JavaScript project. It includes Phaser Editor files, JavaScript files, and TypeScript type definitions.
• Add a script tag to the index.html file to load the lib/phasereditor2d_scripts_core.js file.

Summary

This library provides a couple of actions for animating an object. It also contains user components for adding extra configuration to some of the actions. As a reminder, an action is executed by an event script or another action.

The actions:

• Fade Object Action - Animates the alpha value of an object for fading it in or out.
• Move To Scene Action - Animates the object from the outside of the screen to its initial position.
• Move Out Scene Action - Animates the object outside the scene from its initial position.
• Push Action - Animates the scale of the object, with a "push" effect.

The user components:

• Delay Config - Configures the delay of an animation script.
• Duration Config - Configures the duration of an animation script.
• Ease Config - Configures the ease of an animation script.

Fade Object Action

Class: FadeActionScript

This action animates the alpha parameter of the game object to fade it in or out.

The Fade Direction of the script indicates if it will fade "in" or "out".

You can configure the delay, duration, and ease of the animation by adding the Delay Config, Duration Config, and Ease Config components to the script.

When the animation completes, the script executes the children's scripts.

This action allows the Action Target Config user component.

Move To Scene Action (MoveInSceneActionScript.scene)

Class: MoveInSceneActionScript

This script moves the game object from outside the scene to the current position. You can set the direction from where the object enters the scene, in the From property. The possible values are LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM, and NONE.

You can configure the delay, duration, and ease of the animation by adding the Delay Config, Duration Config, and Ease Config components to the script.

When the animation completes, the script executes the children's scripts.

This action allows the Action Target Config user component.

Move Out Scene Action

Class: MoveOutSceneActionScript

This script moves the game object to the outside of the scene. You can set the direction to where the object exits the scene, in the To property. The possible values are LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM, and NONE.

You can configure the delay, duration, and ease of the animation by adding the Delay Config, Duration Config, and Ease Config components to the script.

When the animation completes, the script executes the children's scripts.

This action allows the Action Target Config user component.

Push Action

Class: PushActionScript

This script performs a push-button-like effect on the game object, scaling it down and out, and restoring the initial scale.

You can configure the duration of the animation by adding the Duration Config user component.

This action allows the Action Target Config user component.

Delay Config

Class: DelayConfigComp File: Animation.components

This component contains the Delay property. You can add it to the animation scripts to change the default delay of the animations.

Duration Config

Class: DurationConfigComp File: Animation.components

This component contains the Duration property. You can add it to the animation scripts to change the default duration of the animations.

Ease Config

Class: DurationConfigComp File: Animation.components

This component contains the Ease property. It is an Option property to select an ease function from the Phaser Ease default constants: Power0,..., Power4, Linear, Quad, Cubic,..., Expo.easeIn, Expo.easeOut, etc...

You can add this component to the animation scripts to change the default ease of the animations.
