N00B question

Hey guys, which method do I use if I have an object set at location (x,y) and I want him to move from that spot to 50 px along the y axis?

Aloha!

What first comes to mind:

myObject.y = 50;

But, really, there's many answers to this question. Perhaps you want 50px from the original spot rather than "50 px along the y axis", in that case you might prefer:

myObject.y += 50;

// or

myObject.y -= 50;

Or, maybe you have something else in mind. I think this link will be helpful:

Which function do those go in, the create? 

[Rydez]

I think I need a better understanding of what you're trying to do in order to say which function. But, probably in the update function. Do you see the update function in the link?

So Im trying to create a football game. I m just trying to see if I can get the guys moving on the field.  my goal is to try to get all this code reusable so i dont have to copy/paste eveything for every person.  I just started playing around with this today. The object is you cilck on a play and the computer moves the pieces, base on your players abilities, more rpg, less playstation.

 

    function create () {
            game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
            var field = game.add.sprite(game.world.centerX, game.world.centerY, 'field');
            field.scale.setTo(2.75);
            field.anchor.setTo(0.5);

            var wr1 = game.add.sprite(100,200, 'wr1');
             wr1.scale.setTo(0.5);

            //  wr1.animations.add('run');
            //  wr1.animations.play('run', 10, true);
             game.physics.arcade.enable(wr1);

             var wr2 = game.add.sprite(100, 250, 'wr2');
              wr2.scale.setTo(0.5);
              // wr2.animations.add('run',  10, true);
              //
              // game.physics.arcade.enable(wr2);
              // wr2.animations.add('run');
              // wr2.animations.play('run', 150,  true);
              // game.physics.arcade.moveToXY(wr2, 10,50);

        }
