extended sprite or sprites into a group?

[small fish]

is it possible?

[eguneys]

Do you mean like this

var mySprite = new ExtendedSprite();myGroup.add(mySprite);

[small fish]

yes like that. But oh, I was using game.create( 0,0, my sprite). I thought

myGroup.add() 

was just for adding groups to groups. No? I will try. Thanks!

Things are tricky when i started.

// Creates a sprite with the key and// adds the sprite to the groupgroup.create(0, 0, key, frame);// Adds any game object to the group (Sprite, Group, Graphics, ..)group.add(anyGameObject);//So if you have a base sprite with a key//this creates the sprite  and add it to the group.//group.create(0, 0, key, frame);//but if you have an extended sprite//you have to first create the sprite yourselfvar sprite = new ExtendedSprite();//then add it manually.group.add(sprite);//or you can add  any game object as wellgroup.add(anyGameObject);

One more related thing is about `game.add` and `game.make`

 

`game.make` is a GameObjectFactory (http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Game.html#make)

`game.add` is a GameObjectCreator (http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Game.html#add)

 

These both create game objects (Sprite, Group, Graphics, ..).  The

difference between these two is GameObjectCreator adds the game object to

the group you specify in addition to creating them.

 

So you call functions on GameObjectFactory and GameObjectCreator

// game.add is GameObjectCreator// this will create a sprite, then add it to the groupgame.add.sprite(0, 0, key, frame, group)// game.make is GameObjectFactory// this will just create a spritevar mySprite = game.make.sprite(0, 0, key, frame)// so you can manually add itmyGroup.add(mySprite);

The default root group is game world

other game objects are its children

http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Game.html#world

 

GameObjectCreator last parameter is group

its optional, if you don't specify it, it will add the sprite to the game world.

So you have to be careful about where you add your game objects

in the group hierarchy. Because it will still display but you might

get confused about positioning.

Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Good to know about world being the root group. Starting to make more sense
