Tween to Converge on Center World

[npilla]

I'm trying to get a group of sprites to converge on a player that is at the center of the world. Is it possible to get the group to converge(tween) on the game.world.centerX, game. world.centerY?

Yeah it is, the properties you mentioned are just values, so you can totally do :

tween.to({ y: game.world.centerY }, 1000, Phaser.Easing.Bounce.In);

Of course this is just an example.

I can't get the whole group to converge on the center. I'm going to try and get each individual enemy to converge.

You can use group.forEach plus game.physics.moveToXY, you can check out the examples for code samples.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll go that route.

You're welcome. If that solves your problem, can you mark this topic as "answered" ?

Thanks

I've gotten closer to my answer but I'm running into another problem. Here's my code:

 

aliens.forEach(game.physics.moveToXY, game.physics, 300, -400, false, 50); 

 

I want my aliens to converge on the player that is 400, 300 but I can't get the aliens to move to that coordinate. I've tinkered with the coordinates but can't get them to move to the center.

[npilla]

game.physics.moveToObject(aliens, player, 50, null);

 

Tried this but getting a velocity error.

You don't need to pass 'null' as a final argument, where did you find that ?

[npilla]

I put that in myself but still getting  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'velocity' of undefined

Probably because aliens are a group and thus have no body. Try using moveToObject on the individual alien sprites in the group with forEach.
