New to Phaser. Overlap method breaking my game.

[mrphantastic]

I'm building out some basic games to get me a feel of Phaser. When calling the method game.physics.arcade.overlap(), it breaks my game. My game just turns into a black screen. Same thing happens if I do game.physics.arcade.collide().

This makes me assume that the reasoning is game.physics.arcade.

What could be the problem?

Did you do this in the function: update ?

Open your Game in the Browser and Press "F12.

Then switch to Console and you should see a error.

I get

Uncaught ReferenceError: collisionHandler is not defined

 

But I defined collisionHandler in a later function

 

function collisionHandler(bullet,enemy){
    bullet.kill();
    enemies.kill();
}

Actually that is the wrong error. I get this error

Unable to get property 'physicsType' of undefined or null reference / phaser.js (85278,9)

You dont have a Physic for the bullet or the enemie.

 

e.g : 

enemies = this.game.add.group();
enemies.enableBody = true;

enemies.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE;

Try this, if it isn't working, write here.

(I'm new too to Phaser, so dont judge me :D)
