setCrop keep position relative to GameObject

[FelipeIzolan]

Hi! I was coding a minimap to my game world that get a frame from the minimap-image relative to player-position by setCrop, but the minimap not stay fixed, because position is relative to texture.

It would be nice, a setCrop that works like the native method drawImage, where the position stay the same, just the rectangle-frame change.

Ok! I solved my problem with:

class Scene {
  preload() {
    this.load.image("minimap", "/minimap.png");
  }

  create() {
    this.minimap = this.add.image(0, 0, "minimap");
    this.minimap.frame.cutWidth = 64;
    this.minimap.frame.cutHeight = 64;
  }

  update() {
    this.minimap.frame.cutX = {PLAYER_POSITION_X};
    this.minimap.frame.cutY = {PLAYER_POSITION_Y};
    this.minimap.frame.updateUVs();
  }
}

But it would be nice a high-level method that do:

class Image {
  ...

  setCut(x, y, width, height) {
    this.frame.cutX = x;
    this.frame.cutY = y;
    this.frame.cutWidth = width;
    this.frame.cutHeight = height;
    this.frame.updateUVs();
  }
}

Thanks for your feature request.

We are pleased to inform you that setCutPosition and setCutSize methods have been added.

This update will be available in the next Phaser release.
