text on a sprite

[dthrasher90]

Is there a way to write text on to a sprite image... say for instance, if  I wanted to write its name on the image?

Nevermind, figured it out

 

  var spriteTextDT1 = game.add.text(DT1x, DT1y, 'DT1', {font: '12px'});

If you want the text to automatically move with the sprite, you could always make a Phaser.Group and add both the sprite and text to that, so that they'd move as one.

You can create a sprite and add the text-field as the child to sprite so that you manipulate a a single asset as @breed had mentioned.

var sprite = game.add.sprite(200, 200, 'mushroom');
var spriteTitle = game.add.text(0,0,'Title',{ font: "65px Arial", fill: "#ff0044", align: "center" });

sprite.addChild(sprite);

Ah gotcha. Didn't realize you could add a child to a sprite as well as a group.

With the child added, I'm just assuming that it will follow the sprite?  Also, can you make that text a variable?

Hi @dthrasher90,

I am sorry i am replying very late. but it might also help others.
Yes that text field will be variable.
