Understanding Phaser, sprites and animations

[kei]

Hi there,

 

i'm using Phaser for the first time and i have some problems understanding how it works. I'm developing a platformer in which the main character plays a different animation for each action (run, jump, etc). When a new animation is played the width/height values of the sprite body are not updated, instead the values of the first animation added are maintained. This is a problem when the frame's width/height of each animation are not the same. In my case the frame's height of an animation is less than the previous one, so it looks like the character is floating. Am i using Phaser the wrong way? Is there any workaround to fix this other than change the values manually?

Probably.

 

//load a sprite sheet where each frames are 32x32 pixels

game.load.spritesheet('P1SpriteSheet', 'src/assets/img/P1SpriteSheet.png', 32, 32);

 

 

//Then create the sprite, called obj for example

 

var obj=game.add.sprite(0,0, 'P1SpriteSheet');

obj.animations.add('run', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 10, true);

 

game.physics.enable(obj, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);

obj.enableBody = true;

obj.body.allowGravity=true;

 

obj.body.width=12;

obj.body.height=24;

obj.anchor.setTo(0.5, 1);

 

//optional stuffs

 

obj.body.collideWorldBounds = true;   

obj.body.maxVelocity.y=500;

obj.body.fixedRotation = true;

obj.body.linearDamping = 0;

 

obj.play('run');

I think you should change the size of the body and leave the animation frames as they originally are, same with/height for all of them, Im not sure if you can change the size of the sprite for each animation.

The quick-fix would be to do:

mySprite.anchor.y=1; (before enabling physics)

I think it would do the trick but it could be annoying for you later.
