Installing components in Phaser 2.3.0

[mafcho]

Hello,
 
I'd like to add the Health component back to my Sprite subclass now that I've upgraded to 2.3.0.  Looking at Sprite's source, it uses Phaser.Component.Core.install to do that.  But according to the docs for the install method, it's internal and shouldn't be used directly... so what is the intended way to add a component in 2.3.0?

 

Thanks,

Matt

Health is already part of Sprite. You don't need to add it in, as long as your Sprite extends Phaser.Sprite, it will have it.

Hi Rich,

 

Maybe health got left out by mistake then?  Even on a normal sprite object I can't use damage().  When I look at sprite's src in https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/blob/master/src/gameobjects/Sprite.js I'm not seeing the health component getting added:

Phaser.Component.Core.install.call(Phaser.Sprite.prototype, [    'Angle',    'Animation',    'AutoCull',    'Bounds',    'BringToTop',    'Crop',    'Delta',    'Destroy',    'FixedToCamera',    'InputEnabled',    'InWorld',    'LifeSpan',    'LoadTexture',    'Overlap',    'PhysicsBody',    'Reset',    'ScaleMinMax',    'Smoothed']);

Thanks,

Matt

Damn, I know what happened - Health used to be part of LifeSpan but was split out. I've fixed this in 2.3.1 in the dev branch. Will probably do a minor update release this week.
