body is undefined

[Faizy]

Can someone tell me why "body" is undefined? Console tells me: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'enable' of undefined"

 

function create() {
	game.stage.backgroundColor = '#3598db'

	this.cursor = this.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();
	this.player = this.add.image(200, 75, 'tank')
	this.physics.arcade.enable(this.player);
	this.player.body.enable = true;
	this.player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;
	
    for (var i = 0; i < enemiesTotal; i++)
    {
        enemies.push(new EnemyTank());
    }

}

Can someone help me out?

this.physics.arcade.enable doesn't exist, you should try game.physics.arcade.enable. Also game.add.image, not this.add.image.

this refers to the scope of the function create(), whereas game it's a variable that has the functions you want.

Probably should also read about JS scope to avoid future pain.

Thanks scheffgames.

 

I changed it, but I still run into the exact same problem.

function create() {
	game.stage.backgroundColor = '#3598db'

	this.cursor = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();
	this.player = game.add.image(200, 75, 'tank')
	game.physics.arcade.enable(this.player);
	this.player.body.enable = true;
	this.player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;
	
    for (var i = 0; i < enemiesTotal; i++)
    {
        enemies.push(new EnemyTank());
    }
}

 

Edit: I fixed it. I used images instead of sprites...images dont support physics.
