Adding Physics to Graphics Object

[Jfault]

Hi everyone!

I'm using Phaser for a school projects, and our team needs a lot of rectangles of varying sizes and colors, but they need to have collision. I've tried creating a Graphics object and adding it as a child of a sprite. The sprite.addChild function works without a hitch. However, whenever I try to enable physics on the sprite, I get an error: (all the objects render, (the player, the rectangle, etc) but nothing moves)

 

Here is the code in question:

walls = this.add.graphics(0,0);walls.boundsPadding = 0;walls.beginFill(0xFFCCAA,  1);walls.drawRect(0,game.world.height-30,game.world.width,30);con = this.add.sprite(0,0,null);con.addChild(walls);game.physics.enable(con, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);con.body.immovable = true;

If I comment the last two lines out, the player moves as expected, though it does not collide with the platform.

What's up, and how can I fix this?

Thanks.

Well I am not sure exactly how to help you since it is showing an error on a piece of code that you didnt post.... but if you comment out those last two lines and the code works there could be an error there as well.

 

Try changing

 

• game.physics.enable(con, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);

to

 

game.physics.arcade.enableBody(con);

 

as for collisions you need to  update method

 

// in update

 

game.physics.arcade.collide(con, whatever other sprite you want it to collide with);

 

 

let me know if this helped.

I did what you told me to. Now the game runs, but the graphics object still doesn't have collision.

Did you add the collision in the update method?

Nevermind, I found a much better way to do this. I think ARCADE physics don't work with graphics.

I did have the collision in update.

My really sketchy solution was to create a 1x1 white png called "tile" and scale it to achieve desired dimensions.
