Fixed layer?

[antbrooksuk]

I have a large stage with a top down view.

I'd like to draw elements fixed to the viewport rather than relative to the stage.

I can't see a way of making a container fit to the viewport.

 

Any help appreciated!

Would it work for you to make two containers - one for the HUD and one for content, then move the content layer around only?

 

I know tho isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it might be a workaround.

Ninja is correct. The best way seems to be to create 2 containers and move the content container around as needed.

 

The alternative is to dynamically offset the position of every HUD element based on the viewport but that will get messy.

Thanks, for clarification:

 

I do have a separate container for the controls.

I have a camera following a sprite on the main stage which is quite large.

When I draw to the controls container the items are being drawn relative to the stage. I can't seem to find a way to keep the controls layer fixed to the viewport.

Can you lock the controls container to the x and y of the camera?

Genius, thanks!

 

this.controls.position.x = game.scene.camera.camera.position.x;

this.controls.position.y = game.scene.camera.camera.position.y;
