Methods

add(key, state, autoStart)

Adds a new State into the StateManager. You must give each State a unique key by which you'll identify it. The State can be either a Phaser.State object (or an object that extends it), a plain JavaScript object or a function. If a function is given a new state object will be created by calling it.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
key string

A unique key you use to reference this state, i.e. "MainMenu", "Level1".

state Phaser.State | object | function

The state you want to switch to.

autoStart boolean <optional>
false

If true the State will be started immediately after adding it.

Source - core/StateManager.js, line 161

checkState(key) → {boolean}

Checks if a given phaser state is valid. A State is considered valid if it has at least one of the core functions: preload, create, update or render.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
key string

The key of the state you want to check.

Returns:
boolean -

true if the State has the required functions, otherwise false.

Source - core/StateManager.js, line 416

clearCurrentState()

This method clears the current State, calling its shutdown callback. The process also removes any active tweens, resets the camera, resets input, clears physics, removes timers and if set clears the world and cache too.

Source - core/StateManager.js, line 366

destroy()

Removes all StateManager callback references to the State object, nulls the game reference and clears the States object. You don't recover from this without rebuilding the Phaser instance again.

Source - core/StateManager.js, line 720

getCurrentState()

Gets the current State.

Returns:

Phaser.State

Source - core/StateManager.js, line 564

Links game properties to the State given by the key.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
key string

State key.

restart(clearWorld, clearCache, parameter)

Restarts the current State. State.shutDown will be called (if it exists) before the State is restarted.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
clearWorld boolean <optional>
true

Clear everything in the world? This clears the World display list fully (but not the Stage, so if you've added your own objects to the Stage they will need managing directly)

clearCache boolean <optional>
false

Clear the Game.Cache? This purges out all loaded assets. The default is false and you must have clearWorld=true if you want to clearCache as well.

parameter * <repeatable>

Additional parameters that will be passed to the State.init function if it has one.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
key string

The key of the state you want to start.

clearWorld boolean <optional>
true

Clear everything in the world? This clears the World display list fully (but not the Stage, so if you've added your own objects to the Stage they will need managing directly)
