Body is not killed when extending sprite

[tembac]

Hi everyone,

I'm extending an sprite with the following code:

Monster = function (game, x, y) {

  Phaser.Sprite.call(this, game, x, y, 'monster01');

  this.game.physics.enable(this, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);

  //graphics
  this.anchor.set(.5, 1);

  this.body.setSize(290, 670, 330, 110);
};

Monster.prototype = Object.create(Phaser.Sprite.prototype);
Monster.prototype.constructor = Monster;

Monster.prototype.update = function()
{
  //input
  if(this.game.input.activePointer.isDown)
  {
    if(Phaser.Rectangle.contains(this.body, this.game.input.worldX, this.game.input.worldY))
    {
      BasicGame.PPGPlayer.clickOnMonster(this);
    }
  }
};

I'm adding this sprite to the main state using:

this.monster = new Monster(this.game, this.game.world.width * .5 + 400, 990);
this.add.existing(this.monster);

Then, I'm killing it with this.monster.kill() and the sprite disappears but the body is still on the state. If I render the body I can still see it:

  render: function (){
		this.game.debug.body(this.monster);
  },

 

Why is this happening and what is the best way to solve it?

Thanks!

This is actually normal for sprites with Arcade Physics bodies. When a sprite dies, the body isn't removed or disabled, but it ceases being updated (moved) and is excluded from collision checks, so it shouldn't interact with anything.

Ah, thanks! Didn't know this.

So if I reset the sprite the same body is used?

Yes, it's the same body, but it gets reset too, so there should be no carryover.

I was perplexed by this too at first.
