Phaser 3: Call function from another class-CodePudding

I have create updateCanvas() function in file a.ts:

export class loadscene extends Scene {
  textures1!: any
  textures2!: any
  textures3!: any
  constructor() {
    const key = 'loadscene'
    super(key)
  }
  updateCanvas(scene){
    switch (scene) {
      case 'canvastextures1':
        this.textures1.update()
        break
      case 'canvastextures2':
        this.textures2.update()
        break
      case 'canvastextures3':
        this.textures3.update()
        break
    }
  }
}

and in file b.ts I call to use this function but not working:

import { loadscene } from './load.scene'
export class BattleScene extends Scene {
  loadScene!: loadscene
...
      this.loadScene = new loadscene()
      this.loadScene.updateCanvas(tile.body.gameObject.texture.key)

I can use the function in the internal file but cannot call from another file. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

CodePudding user response：

Well, I assume the problem is this line this.loadScene = new loadscene().
When you initializing the property this.loadScene, you would have to get the created scene, not create a new one. like this: this.loadScene = this.scene.get('loadscene').

This should work (if the compilier, throws an error, you should change the property from loadScene!: loadscene to loadScene!: any, or may a cast could work like this.loadScene = (this.scene.get('loadscene') as loadscene )).

P.s.: I would change the parameter of the method updateCanvas(scene), scene could be misunderstund since the parameter is the key of the texture.
And start the class names with uppercase. so class LoadScene... would be better.

Update:
code in codepen shows, how I would use typescript to call functions from another scene

Here the relevant code (without the texture part):.

class FirstScene extends Phaser.Scene {
  constructor() {
    super('firstScene')
  }
  
  create(){
    console.log('Create Call in First Scene!')
    this.scene.start('secondScene')
  }
  
  testME(){
    console.info('TEST ME')
    return `called function "testME" from scene:${this.scene.key}`;
  }
  
}

class SecondScene extends Phaser.Scene {
  parentScene: any
  constructor() {
    super('secondScene')
    
  }
  
  create(){
    let text = this.add.text(10,10, '"Create" in Second Scene!', {'color':'#fff'});
    this.parentScene = this.scene.get('firstScene')
    let newLine = this.parentScene.testME();
    text.setText(text.text   '\n'   newLine);
  }
}
