Array of group y position

[Jirka1111]

I have this code. Hi purpose is to give me random position of spikes. Each spike is 50 px height.

 

 addRightSpikes: function(){

        for(var i = 0; i < 6; i++){

            var group = this.rightSideSpikes.create(Bird.GAME_WIDTH-30, this.spikesPositions(), "rightSideSpikes");

            group.body.immovable = true;

            group.body.setSize(22, 17, 8, 17);

        }

    },

 

    spikesPositions: function(){

        var pos = [100, 160, 220, 280, 340, 400];

        return pos[Math.round(Math.random() * pos.length-1)];

    },

 

Sometimes it generates spike at the position GAME_WIDTH,0 and I don't know why.

Nobody knows?

Because your code:

Math.round(Math.random() * pos.length-1)

can return -1 and pos[-1] is undefined.

// Returns a random number between min (inclusive) and max (exclusive)function getRandomArbitrary(min, max) {  return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;}

Thanks a lot!

Actually, I don't get it...

 

randomPos: function(min, max){

        return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;

    },

    

    spikesPositions: function(){

        var pos = [100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400];

        return pos[this.randomPos(1, 6)];

    }

 

I've always had problems with this kind of stuff. Even at college

Look

randomPos: function(min, max){        return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;    },        spikesPositions: function(){        var pos = [100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400];        return pos[Math.round(this.randomPos(1, 6))];    }

Because 

Math.random() * (max - min) + min;

returns float.

Still nothing...

Math.round, I've got it. Thx.

Phaser does have some very handy utilities to make this easier; you could write the above as:

    spikesPositions: function() {        return this.game.rnd.pick([100, 160, 220, 280, 340, 400]);        // this could also be written as Phaser.Math.getRandom([100, 160, 220, 280, 340, 400]);        // or the mathematical way: 100 + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) * 60);    },

Take a look at the Phaser.Math, Phaser.RandomDataGenerator and Phaser.Utils objects for some nice time-saving stuff.

I think it is impossible that Phaser has pretty much everything what I need to create a simple game. 

 

So easy solution. Thank you again, lewster.
