How to update bounds for nested sprites

[andrii.barvynko]

Hi there. I have a noob question... How I can update bounds of nested sprites?

 

For example:

I have a sprite

levelSprite = this.game.add.sprite(0, 0); //now width and height - 32x32

This sprite has two childs

 

levelNum1 = this.game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'game_assets_4');levelNum1.frameName = "gm_level_number_0001.png";levelNum2 = this.game.add.sprite(100, 100, 'game_assets_4');levelNum2.frameName = "gm_level_number_0002.png";levelSprite.addChild(levelNum1);levelSprite.addChild(levelNum2); // now width and height still 32x32... why?

 

I use phaser v. 2.4.3

Would you be so kind to help me please...

unfortunately it doesn't work like that...

 

here's an example that will calculate what you need

this is what @rich said.

 

 

bounds is, width/height are effectively the scale of the object, the texture size if you will

even a sprite with no assigned texture (like the forum post) still has a texture ... hence, it has dimensions
 

it’s more how it’s called.. a PIXI Sprite getBounds doesn’t iterate children, it’s just the display bounds of the Sprite itself - whereas a DisplayObjectContainer (like a Group) iterates just children

Pixi overrides the DoC getBounds with the Sprite one, because the result is used for the uv verts

 

to get a complete bounds of a Sprite with children you’d need to do a getBounds on the Sprite and sum that rect with a getBounds on its children

 

also remember if you’re doing bounds calls within a create function it hasn’t had a chance for the render pass yet, so you’d need to call updateTransform on it first

here's an interactive version. click to add a sprite and calculate new bounds

Thank you! @jmp909, you saved my game

"updateTransform" is what exactly I were looking for.
