Scaling a sprite to a certain width

[Massemassimo]

Hey,

 

since sprite.scale.setTo takes factors instead of a target pixel amount, I was looking for another way to change the size. Since I didn't find anything about that in the phaser doc and phaser.sprite derives from the pixi.js sprite, I checked the pixi doc and found sprite.width() and .height().

 

Sadly for sprite.width(x); typescript tells me I "cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature." Is this a type definition file problem? How could I change the definitions file to make it work?

I'm sure there is a setSize method or something similar.

sprite.body.setSize(width, height, offsetX, offsetY);

sprite.width = 300;

(or whatever width you need)

 

This will automatically adjust the scale values to accommodate the width given.

Thanks!! Is there a reasoning behind it not being in the docs? Or just "wasn't added yet"?

None of the Pixi level properties are in the docs at the moment. Still trying to find a way to easily add them (as they use YUIdoc syntax and we use jsdoc)

sorry for hijacking the thread, but it also has to do with sprite.width.

 

i'm missing a way to get the image dimenstion values, like:

var image_width =  sprite.width();

Is it possible somehow?

If you haven't changed it, then just Sprite.width and Sprite.height will give you the FRAME dimensions (as the Sprite may just be a frame in a texture atlas or sprite sheet).

That's true, thank you, I thought I would have tried this way.
