Sprites and Bodies

[barodapride]

Hello, what is the correct way to move a sprite? Do I do sprite.centerOn(x,y)? That doesn't seem to move the sprite.body...Do I modify sprite.body.x (never mind that's read only). Do I modify sprite.body.center.x/y? That doesn't seem to affect sprite.body.x. Why is something so basic causing me such grief?

Sprite.body.velocity.x = 250;

That moves the sprite along the X axis.

Or simply sprite.x = 42; sprite.y = 42; or even sprite.reset(42, 42);

I know how to make it move by setting the velocity or changing sprite.x/y but there are some really goofy details between the sprite and it's body that have caused me some headaches.

i have a similar question. What is the best method to comand to a sprite to move to a (x,y) location.

 

i first use something like this: this.game.add.tween(this.sprite).to({ x:  x, y: y}, 10000, Phaser.Easing.Linear.None, true);

 

works but i would like to use the facing propertie of the body. Should a use Sprite.body.velocity.x / velocity.y  and test position on each update?

 

an other solution ? thanks
