How can I create a monster group with their own AI/animations?

[Aristy]

Hey,

 

I started learning Phaser few hours ago, and I currently have a crappy code like this:

var monsterDirection = 'left';function create() {	var monster = game.add.sprite(320, game.world.height - 150, 'monster ');	game.physics.arcade.enable(monster );	monster.body.bounce.y = 0.2;	monster.body.gravity.y = 500;	monster.body.collideWorldBounds = true;	monster.animations.add('left', [0, 1], 10, true);	monster.animations.add('right', [2,3], 10, true);}function update() {	game.physics.arcade.collide(monster, objects);	canavar.body.velocity.x = 0;	// Move monster	if(monsterDirection === 'left')	{		monster.animations.play('left');		monster.body.velocity.x = -200;	}	else	{		monster.animations.play('right');		monster.body.velocity.x = 200;	}	// Check for collisions so we can reverse direction	if(monster.body.blocked.left === true)	{		monsterDirection = 'right';	}	if(monster.body.blocked.right === true)	{		monsterDirection = 'left';	}	// Keep jumping	if(monster.body.touching.down === true)	{		monster.body.velocity.y = -500;	}}

Basically, I have a `monster` object whom keeps jumping around until it gets blocked by a collision, where he reverses the direction. Think it like the monsters from Mario.

 

Anyway, I tried to do this with groups, but couldn't find any examples as the examples in groups section only shows static assets.

 

Can anybody help me about carrying this logic to a `group`, so I can spawn as much monster instances as I like every second?

 

Thank you.
