How to have a static-like body in Phaser P2 that still collides with world bounds?

[BreezySparrow]

Hello,

I recently converted a game I was making into P2 physics, only to find none of my objects are colliding with the world boundaries. Since I need the player objects to collide with the world boundaries, I attempted to create a collision group:

 

    var playerCollideGroup = this.physics.p2.createCollisionGroup();

<define all player objects details>

    this.physics.p2.updateBoundsCollisionGroup();
    this.player.body.setCollisionGroup(playerCollideGroup);
    this.board.body.setCollisionGroup(playerCollideGroup);

However my player objects are still not colliding with world boundaries. Is there something I am missing?

 

EDIT:

So I reviewed the code I had been using based in this thread; it appears that making my player body static (this.player.body.static=true;)  was the issue. However as indicated by the CodePen examples in that thread I reliant on the body to be static for proper rotation of objects around the player. What can I do to have the player still collide with world bounds while still remaining static-like in movement?

Hi you could try to set the mass of your object to a very high number (more mass--> tougher to move an object). In the codepen examples it would be something like:

pivotpoint.body.mass=1000000;

But it might be that you have to apply more force/ add higher velocities to move your player around in the world, so you have to take that into account.
