new Weapon(game, parent)
The Weapon Plugin provides the ability to easily create a bullet pool and manager.
Weapons fire Phaser.Bullet objects, which are essentially Sprites with a few extra properties.
The Bullets are enabled for Arcade Physics. They do not currently work with P2 Physics.
The Bullets are created inside of Weapon.bullets
, which is a Phaser.Group instance. Anything you
can usually do with a Group, such as move it around the display list, iterate it, etc can be done
to the bullets Group too.
Bullets can have textures and even animations. You can control the speed at which they are fired,
the firing rate, the firing angle, and even set things like gravity for them.
A small example, assumed to be running from within a Phaser.State create method.
var weapon = this.add.weapon(10, 'bullet');
weapon.fireFrom.set(300, 300);
this.input.onDown.add(weapon.fire, this);
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
game |
Phaser.Game | A reference to the current Phaser.Game instance. |
parent |
Phaser.PluginManager | The Phaser Plugin Manager which looks after this plugin. |

boolean controls if the Group will create a brand new bullet object or not.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 46
-
autofire :boolean
-
Will this weapon auto fire? If set to true then a new bullet will be fired
based on thefireRate
value.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 53
-
bounds :Phaser.Rectangle
-
This Rectangle defines the bounds that are used when determining if a Bullet should be killed or not.
It's used in combination withWeapon.bulletKillType
when that is set to eitherPhaser.Weapon.KILL_WEAPON_BOUNDS
orPhaser.Weapon.KILL_STATIC_BOUNDS

-
If
bulletWorldWrap
is true then you can provide an optional padding value with this

or it can be any number from 0 to 360 inclusive, where 0 degrees is to the right.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 99
-
fireFrom :Phaser.Rectangle
-
This is a Rectangle from within which the bullets are fired. By default it's a 1x1
rectangle, the equivalent of a Point. But you can change the width and height, and if
larger than 1x1 it'll pick a random point within the rectangle to launch the bullet from.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 92

The onFire Signal is dispatched each time
Weapon.fire
is called, and a Bullet is
successfully launched. The callback is set two arguments: a reference to the bullet sprite itself,
and a reference to the Weapon that fired the bullet.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 306

The Track Offset is a Point object that allows you to specify a pixel offset that bullets use
when launching from a tracked Sprite or Pointer. For example if you've got a bullet that is 2x2 pixels
in size, but you're tracking a Sprite that is 32x32, then you can settrackOffset.x = 16
to have
the bullet launched from the center of the Sprite.- Source - plugins/weapon/WeaponPlugin.js, line 360

Methods
-
addBulletAnimation(name, frames, frameRate, loop, useNumericIndex) → {Phaser.Weapon}
-
Adds a new animation under the given key. Optionally set the frames, frame rate and loop.
The arguments are all the same as forAnimation.add
, and work in the same way.Weapon.bulletAnimation
will be set to this animation after it's created. From that point on, all
bullets fired will play using this animation. You can swap between animations by calling this method
several times, and then just changing theWeapon.bulletAnimation
property to the name of the animation
you wish to play for the next launched bullet.If you wish to stop using animations at all, set
Weapon.bulletAnimation
to '' (an empty string).Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description name
string The unique (within the Weapon instance) name for the animation, i.e. "fire", "blast".
frames
Array <optional>
null An array of numbers/strings that correspond to the frames to add to this animation and in which order. e.g. [1, 2, 3] or ['run0', 'run1', run2]). If null then all frames will be used.
frameRate
number <optional>
60 The speed at which the animation should play. The speed is given in frames per second.
loop
boolean <optional>
false Whether or not the animation is looped or just plays once.
useNumericIndex

-
createBullets(quantity, key, frame, group) → {Phaser.Weapon}
-
This method performs two actions: First it will check to see if the
Weapon.bullets
Group exists or not,
and if not it creates it, adding it thegroup
given as the 4th argument.Then it will seed the bullet pool with the
quantity
number of Bullets, using the texture key and frame
provided (if any).If for example you set the quantity to be 10, then this Weapon will only ever be able to have 10 bullets
in-flight simultaneously. If you try to fire an 11th bullet then nothing will happen until one, or more, of
the in-flight bullets have been killed, freeing them up for use by the Weapon again.If you do not wish to have a limit set, then pass in -1 as the quantity. In this instance the Weapon will
keep increasing the size of the bullet pool as needed. It will never reduce the size of the pool however,
so be careful it doesn't grow too large.You can either set the texture key and frame here, or via the
Weapon.bulletKey
andWeapon.bulletFrame
properties. You can also animate bullets, or set them to use random frames. All Bullets belonging to a
single Weapon instance must share the same texture key however.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description quantity
integer <optional>
1 The quantity of bullets to seed the Weapon with. If -1 it will set the pool to automatically expand.
key
string <optional>
The Game.cache key of the image that this Sprite will use.
frame

the Weapon was fired, as defined in theWeapon.fireRate
property.Otherwise the first available bullet is selected and launched.
The arguments are all optional, but allow you to control both where the bullet is launched from, and aimed at.
If you don't provide any of the arguments then it uses those set via properties such as

You can modify the size of the physics Body the Bullets use to be any dimension you need.
This allows you to make it smaller, or larger, than the parent Sprite.
You can also control the x and y offset of the Body. This is the position of the
Body relative to the top-left of the Sprite texture.For example: If you have a Sprite with a texture that is 80x100 in size,
and you want the physics body to be 32x32 pixels in the middle of the texture, you would do:setSize(32, 32, 24, 34)
Where the first two parameters is the new Body size (32x32 pixels).
24 is the horizontal offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture, and 34

trackPointer(pointer, offsetX, offsetY) → {Phaser.Weapon}
-
Sets this Weapon to track the given Pointer.
When a Weapon tracks a Pointer it will automatically update itsfireFrom
value to match the Pointers
position within the Game World, adjusting the coordinates based on the offset arguments.This allows you to lock a Weapon to a Pointer, so that bullets are always launched from its location.
Calling
trackPointer
will resetWeapon.trackedSprite
to null, should it have been set, as you can
only track either a Pointer, or a Sprite, at once, but not both.Parameters:
