Graphics Functions

makeGraphic(obj:String, width:Int, height:Int, color:String)

Used for making an object use a solid color Width x Height frame instead of a texture.

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• width - Width in pixels of the graphic you want to create
• height - Height in pixels of the graphic you want to create
• color - Color string, works the same as getColorFromHex

Example: Use makeGraphic('testBlackSquare', 1000, 1000, '000000') to make the Lua Sprite with the tag "testBlackSquare" turn into a 1000x1000 black square.

setBlendMode(obj:String, blend:String)

Changes the blend mode of a Sprite (Works similar to how Photoshop do it)

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• blend - Blend mode to use. Example: add, darken, normal. List of blend modes

Animations Functions

addAnimationByPrefix(tag:String, name:String, prefix:String, framerate:Int = 24, loop:Bool = true)

Adds an animation name to the Lua Sprite/Object using the tag/variable tag, it will also overwrite another animation using the same name.

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• name - Animation to be added's name
• prefix - Animation name on the .xml file
• framerate - Optional value, how many frames per second does the animation have, Default value is 24
• loop - Optional value, should the animation loop? Default value: true

addAnimationByIndices(tag:String, name:String, prefix:String, indices:String, framerate:Int = 24)

Adds an animation name to the Lua Sprite/Object using the tag/variable tag with the specified indices on indices, it will also overwrite another animation using the same name.

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• name - Animation to be added's name
• prefix - Animation name on the .xml file
• indices - What frames the animation should use, must be separated with a comma. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5
• framerate - Optional value, how many frames per second does the animation have, Default value is 24

objectPlayAnimation(obj:String, name:String, forced:Bool = false)

Plays animation name on a Lua Sprite/Object with the tag/variable obj.

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• name - Animation name to play
• forced - If true, the animation will reset if the current animation is the same as the one you're trying to play. Default value is false

Scale Functions

setGraphicSize(obj:String, multX:Float, multY:Float = 0)

• obj - Object from PlayState or Lua Sprite
• multX - Horizontal multiplier, default value is 1
• multY - Vertical multiplier, default value is 1

scaleObject(obj:String, multX:Float, multY:Float = 0)

Works identically to setGraphicSize

updateHitbox(obj:String)

Use this to update the hitbox in case you change the sprite's scale manually or via a tween.

• obj - Object from PlayState or Lua Sprite

Other Functions

setScrollFactor(obj:String, scrollX:Float, scrollY:Float)

Changes how much a Sprite moves along with the camera.

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• scrollX - Horizontal movement multiplier
• scrollY - Vertical movement multiplier

Note: Boyfriend/Opponent have a scrollX/scrollY value of 1, while Girlfriend have a scrollX/scrollY value of 0.95, if you're gonna do background elements, it's highly suggested that you make the values something under 1.

setObjectCamera(obj:String, camera:String)

Changes on which camera should your object be drawn on

• obj - Lua Sprite tag or Object variable name
• camera - game, hud or other.
