I am trying to create a bomb that only goes off after the player has collides with it but delays for a number of seconds. Currently it goes off immediately I have my collision as below game.physics.arcade.collide(this.player, this.tnts, this.tntCollision, null, this); and the collison handler as below tntCollision: function (player, tnt) { if (player.body.touching.right){ player.body.velocity.x = -200; } else if (player.body.touching.down) { tnt.kill(); var explosionGroup = "explosionSmallGroup"; var explosion = this[explosionGroup].getFirstExists(false); explosion.reset(tnt.x, tnt.y); explosion.animations.play('explode', 30, false, true); } else if (player.body.touching.left) { player.body.velocity.x = 200; } }

Hi, I'm trying to recreate Bomberman as a fun project when I have nothing to do at work. As for now I'm testing out the creation and destroying of bombs using a timer event. See code: update: function () { this.game.physics.arcade.collide(this.player, this.walls); if (this.cursor.left.isDown) { this.player.body.velocity.x = -150; } else if (this.cursor.right.isDown) { this.player.body.velocity.x = 150; } else { // Stop the player this.player.body.velocity.x = 0; } if (this.cursor.up.isDown) { this.player.body.velocity.y = -150; } else if (this.cursor.down.isDown) { this.player.body.velocity.y = 150; } else { // Stop the player this.player.body.velocity.y = 0; } this.space.onDown.add(function() { var bomb = this.game.add.sprite(this.player.x, this.player.y, 'bomb'); this.game.time.events.add(Phaser.Timer.SECOND * 3, function(){ bomb.kill(); }, this); }, this); },So as a test I try to place a bomb using the "space" key and destroy it after 3 seconds. Now as for the first few bombs no lag is showing. After about 20 bombs being destoryed and placing one, the player stays for about half a second and then moves on. I'm no expert in threads nor events, but I wonder if the created events keep running in the background (even after it killed the bomb object). How come?
