OverlayRoute class

OverlayRoute is a class that allows adding/removing game overlays as if they were ordinary Routes.

There are several differences between an OverlayRoute and the regular Routes:

  • the overlays are always rendered on top of the game canvas, so if you push a regular route on top of an overlay route, the overlay route would still be displayed on top.
  • the builder of an overlay route produces a widget instead of a component.
Inheritance

Constructors

OverlayRoute(OverlayBuilder builder, {bool transparent = true})
An overlay route that uses the specified builder. This builder will be registered with the Game's map of overlay builders when this route is first activated.
OverlayRoute.existing({bool transparent = true})
An overlay route that corresponds to an overlay that was already declared within GameWidget's overlayBuilderMap.

Properties

absoluteAngle → double
The resulting angle after all the ancestors and the components own angle has been applied.
no setterinherited
absoluteCenter → Vector2
The absolute center of the component.
no setterinherited
absolutePosition → Vector2
The anchor's position in absolute (world) coordinates.
no setterinherited
absoluteScale → Vector2
The resulting scale after all the ancestors and the components own scale has been applied.
no setterinherited
absoluteScaledSize → Vector2
The resulting size after all the ancestors and the components own scale has been applied.
no setterinherited
absoluteTopLeftPosition → Vector2
The absolute top left position regardless of whether it is a child or not.
no setterinherited
anchor ↔ Anchor
Anchor point for this component. An anchor point describes a point within the rectangle of size size. This point is considered to be the logical "center" of the component. This can be visualized as the point where Flame "grabs" the component. All transforms occur around this point: the position is where the anchor point will end up after the component is translated; the rotation and scaling also happen around this anchor point.
getter/setter pairinherited
angle ↔ double
Rotation angle (in radians) of the component. The component will be rotated around its anchor point in the clockwise direction if the angle is positive, or counterclockwise if the angle is negative.
getter/setter pairinherited
center ↔ Vector2
The position of the center of the component's bounding rectangle in the parent's coordinates.
getter/setter pairinherited
children → ComponentSet
The children components of this component.
no setterinherited
debugColor ↔ Color
The color that the debug output should be rendered with.
getter/setter pairinherited
debugCoordinatesPrecision ↔ int?
How many decimal digits to print when displaying coordinates in the debug mode. Setting this to null will suppress all coordinates from the output.
getter/setter pairinherited
debugMode ↔ bool
Returns whether this Component is in debug mode or not. When a child is added to the Component it gets the same debugMode as its parent has when it is prepared.
getter/setter pairinherited
debugPaint → Paint
The debugColor represented as a Paint object.
no setterinherited
debugTextPaint → TextPaint
Returns a TextPaint object with the debugColor set as color for the text.
no setterinherited
decorator ↔ Decorator
The decorator is used to apply visual effects to a component.
getter/setter pairinherited
game → Game
no setter
hasChildren → bool
no setterinherited
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
height ↔ double
The height of the component in local coordinates. Note that the object may visually appear larger or smaller due to application of scale.
getter/setter pairinherited
isFlippedHorizontally → bool
Whether it is currently flipped horizontally.
no setterinherited
isFlippedVertically → bool
Whether it is currently flipped vertically.
no setterinherited
isLoaded → bool
Whether this component has completed its onLoad step.
no setterinherited
isLoading → bool
Whether the component is currently executing its onLoad step.
no setterinherited
isMounted → bool
Whether this component is currently added to a component tree.
no setterinherited
isMounting → bool
no setterinherited
isRemoved → bool
Whether the component has been removed. Originally this flag is false, but it becomes true after the component was mounted and then removed from its parent. The flag becomes false again when the component is mounted to a new parent.
no setterinherited
isRemoving → bool
Whether the component is scheduled to be removed.
no setterinherited
isRendered ↔ bool
If true, the page must be rendered normally. If false, the page should not be rendered, because it is completely obscured by another route which is on top of it. This variable is set by the RouterComponent.
getter/setter pairinherited
key → ComponentKey?
A key that can be used to identify this component in the tree.
finalinherited
loaded → Future<void>
A future that completes when this component finishes loading.
no setterinherited
maintainState → bool
If false, the route will not maintain the state of this route's page component. By default, once a route becomes active, the component built by the build routine is maintained by the route after the route is popped off the stack. Setting maintainState to false will drop the page component when the route is popped off the stack.
finalinherited
mounted → Future<void>
A future that will complete once the component is mounted on its parent.
no setterinherited
name ↔ String
The name of the route (set by the RouterComponent).
getter/setter pairinherited-setteroverride-getter
nativeAngle ↔ double
The angle where this component is looking at when it is in the default state, i.e. when angle is equal to zero. For example, a nativeAngle of 0 implies up/north direction pi/2 implies right/east direction pi implies down/south direction -pi/2 implies left/west direction
getter/setter pairinherited
parent ↔ RouterComponent
Who owns this component in the component tree.
getter/setter pairinherited
position ↔ NotifyingVector2
The position of this component's anchor on the screen.
getter/setter pairinherited
priority ↔ int
Render priority of this component. This allows you to control the order in which your components are rendered.
getter/setter pairinherited
removed → Future<void>
A future that completes when this component is removed from its parent.
no setterinherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
scale ↔ NotifyingVector2
The scale factor of this component. The scale can be different along the X and Y dimensions. A scale greater than 1 makes the component bigger, and less than 1 smaller. The scale can also be negative, which results in a mirror reflection along the corresponding axis.
getter/setter pairinherited
scaledSize → Vector2
The "physical" size of the component. This is the size of the component as seen from the parent's perspective, and it is equal to size * scale. This is a computed property and cannot be modified by the user.
no setterinherited
size ↔ NotifyingVector2
The logical size of the component. The game assumes that this is the approximate size of the object that will be drawn on the screen. This size will therefore be used for collision detection and tap handling.
getter/setter pairinherited
timeScale ↔ double
Returns the current time scale.
getter/setter pairinherited
topLeftPosition ↔ Vector2
The top-left corner's position in the parent's coordinates.
getter/setter pairinherited
transform → Transform2D
finalinherited
transformMatrix → Matrix4
The total transformation matrix for the component. This matrix combines translation, rotation and scale transforms into a single entity. The matrix is cached and gets recalculated only as necessary.
no setterinherited
transparent → bool
If true, then the route below this one will continue to be rendered when this route becomes active. If false, then this route is assumed to completely obscure any route that would be underneath, and therefore the route underneath doesn't need to be rendered.
finalinherited
width ↔ double
The width of the component in local coordinates. Note that the object may visually appear larger or smaller due to application of scale.
getter/setter pairinherited
x ↔ double
X position of this component's anchor on the screen.
getter/setter pairinherited
y ↔ double
Y position of this component's anchor on the screen.
getter/setter pairinherited
