getControlPointsOnThisCurve(curve) → {array}

Gets the points on the curve representing the end points of the line segments that make up the curve.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
curve Phaser.Hermite

A Phaser.Hermite curve.

Returns:
array -

An array of points representing the end points of 10 line segments that make up the curve.

Source - plugins/path/Path.js, line 343

getCurve(index) → {Phaser.Hermite}

Get the curve from the given point index to the next.

If the curve has been created previously, use that definition again, otherwise calculate it now.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
index number <optional>
0

The index of the point in this path to get the curve from.

Returns:

A new Hermite object representing the curve starting at the 'index' path point.

Source - plugins/path/Path.js, line 429

getPathPoint(index, point) → {boolean}

Get a PathPoint from this path. Automatically handles path looping.

The values from the PathPoint are copied into the given PathPoint object, which must
be a reference to a pre-existing PathPoint, as it's not returned by this method.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
index number

The index of the point in this path to get.

point Phaser.PathPoint

A PathPoint object into which the found point object is cloned.

Returns:
boolean -

false if the index is past the end of the path and it doesn't loop, otherwise true.

Source - plugins/path/Path.js, line 360

getPathPointReference(index) → {Phaser.PathPoint}

Get a reference to a PathPoint from this Path, handle path looping.

NOTE: because this is a PathPoint reference, it does not take into account the coordinateSystem selected, it will be WORLD, or OFFSET unmodified

Parameters:
Name Type Description
index number

The index of the point in this path to get.

Returns:

A reference to the PathPoint object in this Path, or null if index is out of range.

Source - plugins/path/Path.js, line 405

getPointOnThisCurve(curve, t) → {Phaser.Point}

Get a point on the the current Path curve.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description

The distance on the curve to get the point from. Where 0 is the start of the curve, and 1 is the end.

Returns:

A point containing the x and y values at the specified distance (t) value in the curve.

Source - plugins/path/Path.js, line 319

pointIndex(pathPoint) → {number}

Find the first matching PathPoint in this path.
It works by taking the given PathPoint object, and then iterating through all points
in this Path until it finds one with the same values, then returns the index to it.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
pathPoint Phaser.PathPoint

The PathPoint object that will have its values compared to all the points in this Path.

Returns:
number -

The index of the PathPoint in this Path if an equal match is found, or -1 if no match is found.

processData(follower, pathPointIndex, reversing) → {Phaser.PathPoint}

The x coordinate of the PathPoint.

y number

The y coordinate of the PathPoint.

vx number <optional>

The x coordinate of the tangent vector to create the curve from.

vy number <optional>

The y coordinate of the tangent vector to create the curve from.

Returns:

A reference to the PathPoint object that was updated.

smooth() → {Phaser.Path}

If your Path has 3 points or more, this will walk through it and auto-smooth them out.
Note: It ignores branches.

toJSON() → {Object}

Serializes this Path into a JSON object and returns it.
