OK so keep getting the error too:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'gamename' of undefined
I've got:
var settings = {gamename:playerlist[i],characterSelectedName:characterSelectedName};
ig.game.spawnEntity( EntityOtherplayer, 160, 260, settings );
EntityOtherplayer = ig.Entity.extend({
size: {x: 63, y: 95},
type: ig.Entity.TYPE.B,
speed: 100,
name: "otherplayer",
gamename:,
animation: 1,
//checkAgainst: ig.Entity.TYPE.B,
collides: ig.Entity.COLLIDES.PASSIVE,
animSheet: new ig.AnimationSheet( 'media/Auz-spritesheet-1.png', 125, 125 ),
init: function( x, y, settings ) {
this.parent( x, y, settings );
this.health = 10;
//this.gamename = settings.gamename;
//this.characterSelectedName = settings.characterSelectedName;
console.log("Game Name: " . settings.gamename);
console.log("Character Selected Name: " . this.characterSelectedName);
});
When I use the following it doesn't work either...
console.log("Game Name: " . this.gamename);

Here is the docs:
new ig.Entity( x, y, settings )
x, y Position to place this entity in the game world
settings A JavaScript object, whose properties overwrite the entity's default properties
Typically, you should create your entities through the ig.Game's spawnEntity() method, which creates the entity and adds it to the game world.
The settings object overwrites the properties for this one particular entity. E.g.:
var settings = {health: 100, vel: {x: 200, y: 100}};
var myEnt = new EntityMyEntityClass( 0, 0, settings );
Weltmeister makes use of the settings object, to store additional settings for each entity.
If you look in the source code of Impact you will see that anything passed into the 'settings' parameter is merged with 'this', using ig.merg().
Example:
--- main.js ---
ig.game.spawnEntity( EntityPlayer, 200, 200, {'foo':'bar', 'lives':5} );
--- EntityPlayer.js ---
... // entity code
init: function ( x, y, settings ) {
this.parent( x, y, settings);
console.log(this.foo); // displays: bar
console.log(this.lives); // displays: 5
}
You don't need to call:
this.foo = settings.foo;
because the 'settings' object is being merged with the entity object. So you can simply say:
this.nameOfSettingsProperty
from within the entity.
Hope this helps!
