Setting Image Scale In game.sprite.add

[Will]

Sorry for all the questions, but...

 

I am making a star field for my game, it will be all parallax and awesome. But, I am currently using a for loop to add all the stars

for(var i = 0; i<1000; i++)		{			star = game.add.sprite(Math.floor((Math.random()*800)), Math.floor((Math.random()*600)), "star");		} 

 Which works quite nicely!

 

Though, I would like some variance in the stars size, so some appear distant and some close. How would I do that?

 

Also, how would I set a layer?

        var scale = 0;        var layer1 = game.add.group();        var layer2 = game.add.group();        for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {            var star = layer1.create(Math.floor((Math.random() * 800)), Math.floor((Math.random() * 600)), "gems");            scale = game.rnd.realInRange(0.2, 1);            star.scale.x = scale;            star.scale.y = scale;            star = layer2.create(Math.floor((Math.random() * 800)), Math.floor((Math.random() * 600)), "gems");            scale = game.rnd.realInRange(0.2, 1);            star.scale.x = scale;            star.scale.y = scale;        }

Something like this?

Ah, thanks! I meant, like, render layers. So, if the player were 1, and the star were 2, the player would be above the star...

Oh sorry. Then you could put all of your stars in the layer1 group and your player sprite, enemy sprite etc. in the layer2 group to achieve the same thing.

Oh, ok. Thank you!

 

Er, how would I write logic for an individual star? So if it were to go over the screen edge, it will kill itself.

star.events.onOutOfBounds.add(resetStar, this);

Then create a function called resetStar - the first parameter it will be given is the star sprite, so just reset it.
