publicisKilled

  • isKilled(): boolean

  • Returns boolean

publickill

  • kill(): void

    • progress: number

    Returns void

publiconInitialize

  • onInitialize(engine: Engine<any>): void

    Returns void

onPreviousSceneDeactivate

    This gives incoming transition a chance to grab info from previous scene if desired

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

onReset

  • onReset(): void
