Add player possibility 'squat'

[Chendler]

Hello, community.

 

Now I'm finding the best way for squat action for my game creature.

Sprite has fixed height, for example 500px. But player in squat state should have 300px height.

 

How to teach him squatting?

 

Thank you.

Does anybody know the solution?

I dont think i understood what you are asking. 

Do you want to reduce the height of the sprite? change it by sprite.height.

 

Do you want to make your character crouch? You must use a texture that shows him crouching, or an animation.

Add a crouch sprite to your character's spritesheet and adjust the sprite's bounding box with body.setSize(...) whenever the entity is crouching

Thanks guys.

I forgot about this topic.

 

But oxysoft's is right, I used setSize() method for reduce bounding box. Thanks.

Oh, I didn't solve this issue.

 

If I change sprite height by setSize or manually by height property it cuts my height from bottom, then when I restore height - height adds from bottom and my hero falls under the ground.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think your anchor point is going to determine where your sprite is scaled from/to.

If I just scale sprite - it will be ugly.

 

I need something such as http://jsfiddle.net/2e77q54s/19/ but without falling

 

I've just tried set scale:

- it's ugly

- after scale restoring hero falls under the ground layer

I found nice solution.

playerDuck: function() {            if (player.body.touching.down && !player._inDuck) {                player._verticalPosition = player.y;                player._normalHeight = player.height;                player._inDuck = true;                player.body.height = 0.75 * player._normalHeight;                player.y = player.y + player._normalHeight - player.body.height;                player.frame = 5;            }        },        playerUp: function() {            if (player.body.touching.down && player._inDuck) {                player._inDuck = false;                player.body.height = player._normalHeight;                player.y = player._verticalPosition;                player.frame = 2;            }        }

It works for me.
