Change sprite.damage(); behavior

[Archer3CL]

Hi guys. I was wondering if i can change the sprite.damage() behavior.

 

For example, I want to play the 'die' animation if sprite is dead but if i use damage() as the doc says 

 

 

If health is then taken below or is equal to zeroSprite.kill is called.

 

And the code im using right now

squash: function(sprite, pointer){        sprite.damage(this.inputPower);        if(!sprite.alive){            sprite.body.velocity.y = 0;            sprite.animations.play('die', 2, false, true);        }},

 So do i have to implement my own method? Thanks

Have you tried listening to the Sprites.events.onKilled signal? You should be able to override phaser from setting the visible and exists properties to false. Set those properties true and run your animation in an onKilled listener function. http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Signal.html#add 

 

If that doesn't work then yeah, I would write your own method. All damage() does is subtract from the .health property (and kill the sprite which you don't want).

Try replacing 

sprite.damage(this.inputPower);

with

sprite.health -= this.inputPower;

damage() essentially does the same thing, but also checks whether the sprite is alive (and kills the sprite if the health is below 0, as you know).
