How do you show the hitbox of a sprite?

[Puzz3l]

So I'm playing around with hitbox bounds, but I want to actually be able to see the hitbox in-game. Is there a way to do that?

[ctmartinez1992]

On the render function, try to call

game.debug.body(spritename);

Thanks! Since I had to wait a day between posting this and getting it approved by a mod I just did what I should have done before and looked it up in the docs

important note (for future users finding this question), as it's already working for you.

 

This only works in canvas mode (so you might have to initialize your game with Phaser.CANVAS instead of Phaser.AUTO)

Just to help anyone that happens to need to do this to a group, you can call game.debug.body using forEachAlive but you need to set the context to game.debug otherwise you'll receive an error about there being no start() method in the existing context (since sprites have no start method, and the function game.debug.body assumes the scope of 'this' is the parent scope).

 

ex:
 

debugMode: function () {		game.debug.body(this.captain, "#9090ff", false);		this.enemy.forEachAlive(game.debug.body,game.debug,"#ff9090",false);		this.redLasers.forEach(game.debug.body,game.debug,"#dd00dd",false);		this.blueLasers.forEach(game.debug.body,game.debug,"#00dd00",false);	},
