Setting player's body immovable property to true in a breakout game?

[Ninomocos]

First of all excuse me for my limited english. Corrections are welcome.

I am making a simple breakout style game only for learn and fun. I have set the player's body.immovable property to true to avoid the player moving when the ball hits him (as seen in some basic tutorials ) but this cause my player ignore collisions with another immovable bodies and I don't want this. Is there any alternative? I think player shouldn't have the immovable property set to  true, but I can't find other way in the documentation.   I am using arcade physics.

If you want to restrict your player movement - consider restricting their controls.  For example on the keyboard.

game.input.keyboard.disabled = true;

You can do the same for mouse and touch.  Take a look at Input: http://phaser.io/docs/2.2.2/Phaser.Input.html

 

An immovable Body will not receive any impacts from other bodies.  This can be useful if a player has a powerup or part of the level is not destructible.  I wouldn't use it to stop your player from moving.

Thanks for your answer. But the problem is that my player moves in y coordinate when the ball hits him (keyboard only affects to x velocity of the body) ... I think it's due to Newton's third law ... Am I right?

Ok. I have found the solution limiting "manually" the body's x coordinate to avoid my player get inside the immovable obstacles. Thank you. I don't know if this is the perfect solution but it works for now.

Hello, you're right.

2 immovable bodies will never check for colision between themselves.

 

Reading the doc, I can't find any solution.
