How do I access an object/sprite in a group?

[James W]

Hi Guys,

Complete phaser noob and JS amateur!!

Probably an easy answer but how do I access a sprite having created it in a group? I'm not sure which sprite the user will choose first, second etc but need to be able to access the chosen sprites x,y coordinates as well as it's index in the group so I can disable input on that sprite. Hope this makes sense:)

My code:

//create sprite

  randNum = game.rnd.integerInRange(1,9);
  
  sheep = game.add.group();
  game.physics.arcade.enable(sheep);
  sheep.enableBody = true;

  for (i = 0; i < randNum; i++){

   randX = game.rnd.integerInRange(10,460);
   randY = game.rnd.integerInRange(150,540);

   var lamb = sheep.create(randX,randY,'sheep');
   lamb.anchor.setTo(0.5,0.5);
   

   lamb.inputEnabled = true;
   lamb.input.enableDrag(true);

   lamb.events.onDragStart.add(dragStart);
   lamb.events.onDragStop.add(dragStop);

}

I would like to do something like this in the dragStop event:

function dragStop(){
 if (lamb.x > 500 && lamb.x < 750){

      soundIndex++;

      lamb.inputEnabled = false;

}

Cheers

You can see in this example for reference, https://phaser.io/examples/v2/input/drag-event-parameters, that the clicked sprite is a parameter to your dragStop function

For "random" access to group children, you can use Phaser.Group#getChildAt and Phaser.Group#getByName (or just save a reference from Phaser.Group#create).

But for input handlers you'd want to use the sprite parameter in the callback.

Perfect!

Thanks Guys
