Pause movement a sprite group

[danbruegge]

Hi everyone,

 

what is the simplest way to pause the movement of a sprite group?

 

When i try to pause with body.velocity.x/y it will work but when i resume, the sprite dont move again.

 

Explained on the tanks example, what will be the best solution? http://examples.phaser.io/_site/view_full.html?d=games&f=tanks.js&t=tanks

Nobody can help?

If the sprites are moving via physics, doing sprite.body.enable = false will pause their movement, though setting it to true again may not continue to apply any latent forces correctly (i.e. an object decelerating due to drag may not continue to slow down predictably). Give it a go and see if it works as expected in your implementation.

Awesome, it works.

 

Thanks!

 

The docs seems a little bit misleading in that case or did i understand it wrong?

No it's accurate, though it's not entirely clear that pre/post updates are the places the sprite's position is updated due to velocity.

No it was not clear. Thanks for the help.

You also can use

group.exists = true; // for pause
group.exists = false; // for resume

all children will be visible all time.

Tested on particles too
