Particle Emitter with atlas names?

[Matthias Elephant]

Hi,

i would like to use the emitter for some particles. The images are loaded in an atlas.

I want to use an specific image from the atlas. In the examples i found this: http://phaser.io/examples/v2/particles/collision

    emitter.makeParticles('veggies', [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20], 200, true, true);

My problem is, that i dont know the index. But i know the framename.

 

Someone know, how to use an emitter with atlas name and framename? Maybe there is a way to get the indexnumber from atlas if i know the framename?

 

Thanks

Try just passing in the frame name instead of an array of frame numbers. For example:

emitter.makeParticles('veggies', 'yourFrameName', 200, true, true);

I tried that, but it did't work. The API also says, that i can just use a number.

More ideas?

You can try use the property .index of frame...

Thanks.

 

Solved with:

var frame = this.game.cache.getFrameData("atlasName").getFrameByName("frameName");
emitter.makeParticles('atlasName', frame.index, 1, false, false);

You should also be able to pass frame names in an array:

emitter.makeParticles('atlasName', ['frameName']);
