Wrong picked object by id (custom poperties). Phaser 3 bugs or my code mistake?

[willis]

Hi

I'm new phaser user i got a little bug for my game, this things make me confused for an hour.

I make mahjong game using phaser 3, the gameplay it's self are already completed, just add additional features. I make hint function to detect possible matches, and it's working fine also selected pieces that are match are right, but if i want to clear selected pieces (hint object), sometimes it's pick the wrong pieces, i already put selected hint id  (array) on console.log, and nothing wrong.

If i pick gameobject by id (custom properties) dirrectly, sometimes  it's pick a different gameobject id.

var child = this.cards.getChildren();
for(var i=0; i<2; i++){
	child[hinted_pieces[i]].clearTint();
}

 

If i use loop to pick hinted object, it's select the right gameobject.

var count = 0;
for(var i=0; i<total; i++){
	if(child[i].id == hinted_pieces[count]){
		child[i].clearTint();
		count++;
	}
	if(count == 2){
		break;
	}
}

 

So, it's Phaser 3 bugs?

You should probably ask in the new forum, but anyway:

Your hinted_pieces[ i ] probably doesn't work as an index for the child array (only 0 and 1 would work).

The two bits of code do completely different things. Hinted pieces array clearly doesn’t hold the array indexes, but rather the id values. Game Objects in Phaser don’t have an id property, so this is something you added.
