Hello all! I have been messing around with Phaser and have made a small start to a game by playing with some source-code from the space hipster tutorial. I have a top down character animated with a sprite-sheet and am now working on using code from the "shoot the pointer" Phaser example to add a rotating child sprite that shoots, onto my animation of a walking body. My code works fine if I treat the rotating shooting sprite and walking animated body separately, but as soon as I add the shooting sprite onto the walking body as a child the code breaks down. I am rather new to Phaser and game dev so I apologize in advance if I am missing something obvious. here is the code for my main game state (as I said the child adding seems to mess things up but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something else I am no aware of...) var SpaceHipster = SpaceHipster || {};//title screenSpaceHipster.Game = function(){};//variablesvar player;var torso;var bullets;//var fireRate controls the firerate of players gunvar fireRate = 100;var nextFire = 0;SpaceHipster.Game.prototype = { create: function() { //make background of repeating graa images this.background = this.game.add.tileSprite(0, 0, this.game.width, this.game.height, 'grass'); //bullet group and creation bullets = this.game.add.group(); bullets.enableBody = true; bullets.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE; bullets.createMultiple(50, 'bullet'); bullets.setAll('checkWorldBounds', true); bullets.setAll('outOfBoundsKill', true); //player init player = this.game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'player'); player.anchor.setTo(0.5); //player torso init torso = this.game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'playerTorso'); torso.anchor.setTo(0.5); player.addChild(torso); //add the torso to the player sprite //enable physics on both the legs and torso pf player this.game.physics.enable(player, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); this.game.physics.enable(torso, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); //player animation loading player.animations.add('down', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 10, true); player.animations.add('up', [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16], 10, true); player.animations.add('left', [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24], 10, true); player.animations.add('right', [25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32], 10, true); //player will not go off the screen player.body.collideWorldBounds = true; torso.body.collideWorldBounds = true; //code for rotating torso to pointer torso.body.allowRotation = false; player.body.allowRotation = false; }, update: function() { //allow player torso to rotate torso.rotation = this.game.physics.arcade.angleToPointer(torso); //if the mouse is clicked execute the fire function if (this.game.input.activePointer.isDown) { this.fire(); } //player movement handler if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.A)) { player.x -= 4; player.animations.play('left'); } else if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.D)) { player.x += 4; player.animations.play('right'); } else if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.W)) { player.y -= 4; player.animations.play('up'); } else if (this.game.input.keyboard.isDown(Phaser.Keyboard.S)) { player.y += 4; player.animations.play('down'); } else { // Stand still player.animations.stop(); player.frame = 1; } },fire: function() { //if the fire cooldown is done executer the rest of the bullet firing logic if (this.game.time.now > nextFire && bullets.countDead() > 0) { nextFire = this.game.time.now + fireRate; var bullet = bullets.getFirstDead(); //controls where on the player image the bullet originates from bullet.reset(torso.x - 8, torso.y - 8); //'fires' bullet image to pointer coords, the number controls the bullets velocity this.game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer(bullet, 1000); }},render: function() { this.game.debug.spriteInfo(torso, 32, 450);}};/*TODO*/Thanks for any help you can offer! - TimTation
