Shouldn't body.blocked.down be true in this case?

[fariazz]

In a platformer game, when using the Arcade mode, body.blocked.down is true when you are stepping on the world boundary (like in the platformer example) on when on tile ground.

 

But when standing on another sprite (for example a sprite for the floor with body.immovable = true) it currently shows body.blocked.down as false, but body.touching.down true.

 

I have a demo for a basic platformer, to implement the jump functionality I want to test for blocked, because if I test for touching.down then the character also jumps when touching non-blocking elements (that overlap not colllide).

 

So my question is, is this the expected behavior for body.blocked? how could I just test just for blocking objects to implement jump?

I'd be inclined to agree with you here to be fair - I think any time a body collides with another body that cannot be moved, the appropriate blocked flags should be set. Worth discussing with Rich I think.
