thisisforreal Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Greetings people smarter than myself. This is my first phaser self-guided exercise. I'm also very new to object oriented programming - and that may be the issue at hand. I have a single gamestate, "playgame", which has a placeTiles() function that I don't want to execute until a user clicks a "Begin" button. However, my code is not working as intended because the placeTiles() function is executing immediately upon loading. I think there is a fundamental concept that I'm missing. As you can see, I'm using preload, create, then some of my own - placetiles, showtile. Is it SOP for all of the functions inside playGame.prototype to run on initialization? If I don't want something running at that time, how do I prevent it or where should I move that block of code? Wouldn't it need to go within playGame somewhere?playGame.prototype = { myMoney: null, theEmpire: [], preload: function(){ game.stage.setBackgroundColor(0xEBEBFF); game.load.spritesheet("gadgets", "gadgets.png", tileSize, tileSize); }, create: function(){ // I've removed some code here where I create my background and color scheme // Create the Begin Button which should place the other tiles. var beginButton = game.add.button( 20,50,"gadgets",this.placeTiles(),this); beginButton.frame = 10; // There's a bunch more code here I've removed for this forum post */ }, placeTiles: function(){ for(var i=0; i < numCols; i++){ var serialButton = game.add.button( 250 * (i+1) , game.height/5 + (i*tileSpacing) , "gadgets" , this.showTile , this); serialButton.frame = i+1; serialButton.value = this.theEmpire[i]; }//i++ }, showTile: function(target){ //More functions, etc... },}; game.state.add("PlayGame", playGame); game.state.start("PlayGame"); };Any explanation or guidance would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptron Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Change this.placeTiles() for this.placeTiles ? I think if you put the parenthesis it actually invokes the method. Not sure though. Just a guess Cudabear and drhayes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
