Description

i found an issue with phaser.js . it was a issue loading some plugins. as an example the animated tiles plugin would not load properly because if line 126250 " pluginManager.installScenePlugin(systemKey, window[this.key], sceneKey, this.loader.scene, true);". if this line is change to "pluginManager.installScenePlugin(systemKey, Function(return ${this.key})(), sceneKey, this.loader.scene, true);" then the plugin works correctly. the script this resides in is here : https://github.com/phaserjs/phaser/blob/e337b6e4d13eb1979af06fe1ccf001b5174f0a47/src/loader/filetypes/PluginFile.js#L114

What's the code you used when the animated tiles plugin wouldn't load properly?

[Lunalyst]

the code I was using the animated tile plugin was my own game project. specifically my default scene class which is a class that builds of the scene object. specifically it was this.load.scenePlugin({ key: 'AnimatedTiles', url: 'lib/vendors/AnimatedTiles.js', sceneKey: 'AnimatedTiles' });

[samme]

load.scenePlugin() only works if the key is a property of window after the plugin script loads. The plugin author has to write it that way, e.g.,

window.AnimatedTiles = AnimatedTiles;

You can instead load the plugin script as a <script> (or even import it) and then pass the plugin class to the game config.
