RexBoard - Animate Chess as a sprite

Phaser 3

Hi @rexrainbow

Back to working on my game at https://emberquest.danmonroe.dev/

How do you animate chess objects that are sprites?

I have a Container object that has a Sprite and I want to animate the sprite after I have added the chess.

scene.board.addChess(agent.container, agentConfig.x, agentConfig.y, this.constants.TILEZ_AGENTS);

agent.container is a Phaser.GameObjects.Container

the container adds the Sprite:

this.phaserAgent = new PhaserAgent(this.scene, config);
this.add(this.phaserAgent);

PhaserAgent is a Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Sprite

Thanks!

Get chess (agent.container) back by tileXYZ position, or other condition, then get sprite back, play animation.

Hmm, thank you but I still can’t get it to play.

If I just hard code and add a test to my scene, it works

this = scene

this.anims.create({
  key: 'young-ogre-rest-test',
  frames: this.anims.generateFrameNumbers('young-ogre', { start: 1, end: 4}),
  frameRate: 3,
  repeat: -1,
});

const ogre = this.add.sprite(400, 300, 'young-ogre');

ogre.anims.play('young-ogre-rest-test');

This one plays, but using agent.container.phaserAgent.anims.play(‘young-ogre-rest-test’) does not.

I noticed with debug on, that my containers and sprites in the container have the purple border around it where the sprite with the working animation does NOT have the purple border around it. Is that something that might give you a clue as to what is happening?

Check if the container, and its child sprite is got back correctly. For example, agent.container.phaserAgent seems to be the sprite game object, but I doubt it is undefined because that container dose not have phaserAgent property unless you assign a custom value.
