SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Building particle effects like explosions, fire, smoke, and trails in Phaser 4 requires knowing the ParticleEmitter API, its flexible EmitterOp value formats, and zone systems, which are easy to misconfigure without a structured reference. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Emitter Creation and Configuration: Create flow or burst emitters with this.add.particles(), control speed, scale, alpha, tint, color interpolation, lifespan, and gravity. - Zones and Processors: Define random and edge emission zones, death zones, particle bounds with bounce, and gravity wells that attract or repel particles. - Advanced Control: Follow game objects, use particle callbacks and events, pre-warm emitters with advance, write custom particle classes and processors. - Use Case: Add an explosion effect to a game by creating a burst emitter with explode(), random frames from a sprite sheet, and scale/alpha easing over particle lifetime. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a Phaser 4 particle emitter for an explosion effect using a sprite texture with burst mode and fading scale.

Frequently Asked Questions about particles

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a particle emitter in Phaser 4?▼

Call this.add.particles(x, y, texture, config) inside a Scene's create method. It returns a ParticleEmitter instance directly, since the ParticleEmitterManager was removed in v3.60. Configure speed, lifespan, scale, and alpha in the config object.

How do I make a one-shot explosion effect with Phaser particles?▼

Set frequency to -1 or emitting to false in the config, then call emitter.explode(count) to emit a burst of particles at once. You can also pass x and y to explode() to burst at a specific position.

What is the difference between flow and explode mode in Phaser particles?▼

Flow mode emits a quantity of particles every frequency milliseconds, with frequency 0 meaning every frame. Explode mode uses frequency -1 and emits one batch only when explode() is called, then stops.

How do I make particles follow a game object in Phaser?▼

Call emitter.startFollow(target) with optional x and y offsets, or set the follow and followOffset properties in the emitter config. Use stopFollow() to detach, and trackVisible to match the target's visibility.

Why are my Phaser particles not emitting?▼

Check that emitting is not false and frequency is not -1, which puts the emitter in explode-only mode. Also verify the texture key is valid, since the emitter requires a loaded texture to render particles.

How do I kill particles when they enter an area in Phaser?▼

Add a deathZone with type onEnter and a source shape that has a contains(x, y) method, such as a Phaser.Geom.Rectangle. Use type onLeave instead to kill particles that exit a region, confining them to an area.
