Creating a sprite from loaded atlases without defining which atlas

[JakeCake]

I am loading a bunch of texture atlases with many sprites in them, but now, for performance testing I would like to bulge some of these atlases together. Due to my automated gulp tasks this is no issues and only takes a couple of seconds, as to create the new textures, but still all my sprite creation use something like layer.foreground.create(x, y, 'enemies', 'enemy_pig'); which will no longer work if the atlas name has changed.

 

If I combine the two atlases "enemies" and "pickups" into one, all these initialisations will fail. Since I have named the textures within each atlas with an unique key even across the atlases there will be no mixup. So my question is:

 

How do I make phaser detect which atlas a texture-key is from, and is this a built in feature, since it seems obviously useful, or do I have to create my own implementation of detecting the atlas with a function like "findAtlas()" that searches the loaded atlases for a texture like:

 

layer.foreground.create(x, y, findAtlas('enemy_pig').key, 'enemy_pig');

 

Thanks for any help

Pretty sure rolling your own solution is the way to go because I suspect Phaser doesn't support this custom functionality out of the box. I may be completely wrong though

For any future reference, here is the solution I ended up coding:

    Phaser.Cache.prototype.getAtlasForTexture = function(texturekey) {        for(var key in game.cache._cache.image) {            if(game.cache._cache.image[key].frameData.getFrameByName(texturekey)) {                return game.cache._cache.image[key].key;            }        }        return null;    };

It returns the key to the atlas containing the texture with the texture key given.

 

So in all my sprite creation I do this:

layer.foreground.create(x, y, game.cache.getAtlasForTexture("unique_key"), "unique_key");

Since I'm prototyping, this is integrated right into the Phaser cache object.
