Check overlap between sprites in if statement

[Julia]

Hey,

 

First of all I would like to thank you for the great support, learning a lot here from a great framework   

I have another question:

 

Is it possible to check for an overlap between two sprites (in this case a sprite and a child from a group) in an if statement?

 

This is in my update function:

game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, enemyGroup, this.collisionHandler, null, this);

And this in my collisionHandler:

if(game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, enemyGroup.children[0])) {this.vow1();}

[Julia]

Wooops, posted the question a bit too often. How can I delete questions?

Hmmm sorry but I don't understand the question... What is wrong with your code? I mean it seems to perfectly answer to your issue...

 

And I think objects need a body for the overlap method to work, so you may have to apply physics to both objects. And I'm bot sure about this but you may also want to check for collisions after your objects are updated in your update loop.

 

 

Edit : Why don't you just write :

game.physics.arcade.overlap(player, enemyGroup.children[0], this.callbackFn, null, this);

And avoir the second overlap check?

[Julia]

Thanks for your answer! I guess the error should be in the vow1 function then... But you say it is possible to check for an overlap in an if statement like this?
I already have physics applied to the objects.

I think it should work... The intersects() method is also interesting in that case.

 

Do not hesitate to provide a small demo of your code if it's not working the way expected.

I guess the code is a bit too much to place a snippet. I put a console.log in the if statement, but it isn't firing at all, so something must be wrong in the if statement I guess?

Is your collisionHandler called at least?

[Julia]

Ah, thanks for your edit, it's working now!! Great!

Nice! I'm glad I could help! =)
