Killing a bullet when it hits a wall

[fatfattymcfat]

Hey all, just started working with Phaser today and it's great fun. 

 

I've become stuck trying to destroy a sprite when it hits a wall. 

 

Something like this works quite well for colliding and stopping against a wall:

 

    game.physics.collide(mobs, walls);

 

And something like this is great for killing mobs when they hit a bullet:

 

    game.physics.overlap(mobs, bulletGroup, killMob, null, this);

 

But the same overlap callbacks don't seem to work when I'm comparing a wall to a group. 

 

For instance, this doesn't work:     game.physics.overlap(wall, bulletGroup, killBullet, null, this);

 

In this case, the walls are:

 

  walls = game.add.tilemapLayer(0, 0, 800, 600, tileset, map, 1);

 

Looking forward to carrying on with the project!

Cheers

I have the same problem. If a moving element hits the left side of the screen I want it to be removed. Thanks!

I solved this in a really hacky way: 

 

    if (bulletGroup.length >= 1) {

      game.physics.collide(bulletGroup, walls);

    }

 

And:

 

    bulletGroup.forEach(function (bullet) {

      if (bullet.body.velocity.x == 0 && bullet.body.velocity.y == 0) {

        bullet.kill();

      }

    })

 

This way they stop if they hit a wall and they're killed if they stop. 

 

There must be a better way to do this?
