Can't create new objects in phaser group

[Tesserato]

Hello comrades,

I'm new to phaser and I can't seem to create new objects to the group "capetinhas", even though I can load the sprite through game.add.sprite. Here's the code:

 

 

 

var game = new Phaser.Game(448, 448, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });



function  preload () {
	game.load.image('tabuleiro','assets/tabuleiro.png')
	game.load.spritesheet('devil','assets/devil.png',32,32);
	var capetinhas;

}

function create (){
    capetinhas = game.add.group();
	
	game.add.sprite(window.width,0,'tabuleiro');//loading the background
	
	
	game.add.sprite(128,128,'devil'); // this works
	
	
	capetinhas.create(32,32,'devil'); // this doesnt	
	
}

function update (){
	
}

Any helpe would be really apreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

What happens? Do you get an error, or do you not see a sprite at (32, 32)?

The sprite doesn't appears. After a while I used "capetinhas.countLiving" on the console and it returned me 1. Therefore, the object is created but the sprite doesn't load.

 

P.S. I don't get any error.

try this :

var game = new Phaser.Game(448, 448, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });



function  preload () {
	game.load.image('tabuleiro','assets/tabuleiro.png')
	game.load.spritesheet('devil','assets/devil.png',32,32);
}

function create (){
        var capetinhas = game.add.group();
	
	game.add.sprite(window.width,0,'tabuleiro');//loading the background
	
	
	game.add.sprite(128,128,'devil'); // this works

	
	capetinhas.create(32,32,'devil'); // this doesnt	
	
}

function update (){
	
}

I'm also new to Phaser but when I tested your code I was able to add both 'devil' sprites to the game world so maybe something else is affecting it, but you could try putting the sprite into a variable and then add it to the group

function create (){
    capetinhas = game.add.group();
	
	game.add.sprite(window.width,0,'tabuleiro');//loading the background
	
	
	var devil = game.add.sprite(128,128,'devil'); 

	
	capetinhas.add(devil); 	
	
}

What version of Phaser are you using?

Just found that that the board sprite (tabuleiro.png) was being rendered AFTER the creation of the group. Therefore, every instance of capetinha was beign overlayed by it.

 

Thank you everyone.
