I am trying to add controls so if the mouse is anywhere on the left side of the character the character goes to the left and vise vera 

I am following this example http://examples.phaser.io/_site/view_full.html?d=input&f=follow+mouse.js&t=follow%20mouse


The reason I want this is so it works on mobile. I copied the example and my game crashes :/

Is this because follow mouse can't only make a character move vertical?

Ancient phaser version. Code not directly compatible.

There's a migration guide, but it did jack shirt for me

hmm how would I go about making follow mouse to work with a platformer? I changed my example and don't know how to make it a platformer

if (game.input.activePointer.isDown && player.sprite.x > game.input.activePointer.x) {     player.sprite.body.velocity.x = -100;} else if (game.input.activePointer.isDown && player.sprite.x < game.input.activePointer.x) {     player.sprite.body.velocity.x = 100;}

I'm a very novice programmer, but maybe something like this?
