How to stop player movement for a few seconds and resume player movement?

[mitchkap]

Hi, so I am using arcade physics, and when my player sprite collides with my object, I have a timer starting, and during that time I would like to stop player movement (say for 10 seconds if my timer is set to 10 seconds).

I can successfully stop the player movement on collision, but when the time stops (aka time runs out) I want the player to resume movement (right now it just stays frozen). 

I am stopping player movement by setting player.body.velocity = 0;

I am checking for collisions in update, and starting the timer on collision with the object.

I am using phaser's provided timer.

maybe you can use setTimeout(function, 10000);

I agree with @CharlesCraft50, just set player,body.velocity to 0 and set a timeout and set the velocity back to normal in the callback
