Mouse hold event

[oliversb]

Is there an event in Phaser that occurs while the mouse is held instead of just at the start of a click? How can I apply this for a particular sprite and for anywhere on the game's stage?

 

Thanks

How would I apply this to a particular sprite? Thanks

Using sprite.input.checkPointerOver:

function update() {  if (game.input.activePointer.isDown && sprite.input.checkPointerOver(game.input.activePointer)) {    // pointer is down and is over our sprite, so do something here  }}

Interestingly there's a checkPointerDown method too which would be easier still, but it seems to do exactly the same as the checkPointerOver method and doesn't seem to determine if the pointer is being pressed as it states it does. I've submitted a fix for this on Github.
