i am having animations of things going from my boards toward the counters in the playerPanel, as well as the other way around. I am NOT animating or manipulating any divs inside the playerPanel, but i am calling

Code: Select all

const playerPanel = document.getElementById('player_board_' + player.id);

so i can tell my animations where they start or end.

I am getting a warning when building this project

Code: Select all

The player panel elements should not be accessed directly, please use the player panel functions.

and so the questions: can I ignore these as my usage is justifiable? am i doing this wrong and there is a better way? or is there no better way but what i am doing is not allowed?

PS best i can figure out the "player panel functions" just let me manipulate the counter values, not learn where they are on the page

Hi

Maybe the function you need is

Code: Select all

this.bga.playerPanels.getElement

, see documentation here : https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Game_ ... ers_panels

Just use the slideOutAndDestroy method (if you are making something go to the panel and then disappear), or the slideIn method (to come from the panel to a location).
