Container.getWorldPoint() / getLocalPoint() throw "tempMatrix.applyITRS is not a function" in 4.2.1 #7388
Description
Description:
Phaser 4.2.1: Calling container.getWorldPoint(x, y) or container.getLocalPoint(x, y) throws:
TypeError: tempMatrix.applyITRS is not a function at Container.getWorldTransformMatrix (Transform.js:517) at Container.getWorldPoint (Transform.js:627) at Container.getLocalPoint (Transform.js:584)
Root cause: getWorldTransformMatrix() creates new TransformMatrix() but the instance lacks applyITRS at runtime (method exists in source but not on constructed object).
Minimal reproduction:
const container = scene.add.container(100, 100);
const sprite = scene.add.sprite(50, 50, 'key');
container.add(sprite);
container.getWorldPoint(0, 0); // throws
// or
container.getLocalPoint(200, 200); // throwsEnvironment: Phaser 4.2.1, WebGL renderer, TypeScript project, OS: Kubuntu
Workaround: Manual transform walking up parentContainer chain

This should work without errors:

getWorldPointdoesn't take x and yits signature is
getWorldPoint(point, tempMatrix, parentMatrix)and it returns the object's own world positionso
getWorldPoint(0, 0)passes0astempMatrixand that's theapplyITRS is not a functionit only shows up when the object is inside a container because that's the only path that touches
tempMatrixchecked against master with a container inside a container at (100,100) and (50,50):
to turn a local point into world space:
getLocalPoint(x, y)is the right call the other way round and works hereif it still throws for you can you paste the exact call
