Debugging in WebGL

[robbo]

If I try to use the Debug class, for example 'renderQuadTree' in the game render function I get the following error 'Cannot read property 'style' of null'.

 

This is because the game.context is null, (From the docs : A handy reference to renderer.context (only set for CANVAS games)) and it is null because the game is using WebGL over canvas.

 

How do I get the debug info to display in WebGL, or is there a way to force the came to use Canvas?

Found the forcing to use Canvas, so obvious I missed it - doh

 

new Game(width, height, renderer, parent, state, transparent, antialias)

 

renderer number <optional> Phaser.AUTO

Which renderer to use: Phaser.AUTO will auto-detect, Phaser.WEBGL, Phaser.CANVAS or Phaser.HEADLESS (no rendering at all).

I was writing a reply, then my browser crashed, and I see you already found the answer.

But it would be actually nice to have debug drawing for WebGL too. I need to draw bouding box for selected sprite, now i have a sprite rectangle as a hack. But it looks bad if scaled. Or border for a map (no solution yet, can't use a sprite because of the size). I would like to keep WebGL if possible.

 

Are there plans to include geometry drawing (mainly lines, rectangle) for WebGL renderer?

I'd just like to put my vote in for line drawing in 3D space as well.  Very useful for so many situations, not just debugging.  But it's huge for debugging
