Particle emitter death zones are positioned in global space

[vforsh]

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?

This issue has been resolved.

The death zones collisions have been corrected to check local coordinates instead of global coordinates to ensure it aligns with the local emitter space.

The changes will be reflected in the next update.
