Overlapping Arcade Physics bodies don't separate

[jmp909]

Hi,

 

I've set up a group of sprites and they generally collide with each other fine, but if they are overlapping they don't separate (ie force each other apart). Is this only available with other physics types like Box2D or have I missed something?

create() {    this.enemiesGroup = this.game.add.group();    this.enemiesGroup.enableBody = true;    this.enemiesGroup.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE;    for(var i=0; i < 20; i++) {      var enemy:Phaser.Sprite = this.enemiesGroup.create(game.rnd.integerInRange(100, 770), game.rnd.integerInRange(0, 570), "gameboy", game.rnd.integerInRange(2,5))      enemy.name="enemy"+i;      enemy.body.bounce.y=0.8        enemy.body.collideWorldBounds=true;    }}update() {    this.game.physics.arcade.collide(group, group, this.groupCollisionHandler, null, this);}

thanks

if they are overlapping they are not colliding.

 

What are you trying to achieve in your handler?

 

Try not to overlap them when you are creating them with the random positions.

I think they need a velocity so that Phaser knows where to "repulse" them

Hi,

Wasn't trying to achieve anything specifically so far, it was just a basic example and I wanted to know if I was doing anything wrong or if it was a bug. I'll try and ensure they're not generated on top of each other then if it's "expected" behaviour

Thanks
