Version

Phaser 3.60 beta 18

Description

Emitter death zones are positioned in global space which is unexpected.

Was it an intentional change? It is quite confusing IMO because of the 2 reasons:

  • in prior versions death zones were positioned in emitter local coordinates space
  • emit zones & gravity wells are positioned in local space

Example Test Code

https://codesandbox.io/s/particles-death-zone-qpmvhn

let particles = this.add.particles(300, 300, "flares", {
	lifespan: 1500,
	alpha: { start: 0, end: 1 },
	scale: 0.2,
	quantity: 20,
	emitting: false,
})

// emit zone position is in local emitter space (as expected)
let emitZone = new Phaser.Geom.Circle(0, 0, 200)
particles.addEmitZone({
	source: emitZone,
	type: "random",
	quantity: -1,
})

// deathZone position is in global space
let deathZone = new Phaser.Geom.Circle(0, 0, 100)
// you need to manually calculate the offset to put it in the right place
// let deathZone = new Phaser.Geom.Circle(particles.x, particles.y, 100)
particles.addDeathZone({
	source: deathZone,
	type: "onEnter",
})

particles.start(1500)

I am having this issue as well. Clearly coordinates should be in emitter-space or this does not work using existing geometries. I am trying to get this to work by passing the center point but this is clearly an unacceptable hack.

Any chance this will be addressed?
