setInteractive() on a whole group

[AdamRyanGameDev]

I would like to make a group interactive.

The following did not work

groupOfZombies.setInteractive();

Then just to add the resulting code to discover which sprite was clicked needs to me access the sprite-key, i have been looking for it but I can't seem to find it (mainly because most code functions using 'this')

spriteCat2.setInteractive();
spriteCat2.on('pointerdown', function () {
			
   var thisSpriteName = this.key;
	console.log(thisSpriteName);

});

any help would be appreciated!

You could do:

this.input.setHitArea(group.getChildren());

To figure out which sprite was clicked there are several ways of doing it. Either the 'gameobjectdown' events, or listen on the sprite itself. There's a tutorial about exactly this here: https://madmimi.com/p/a022cb

As always thank you Rich!

Just to elaborate on Rich's answer since it wasn't abundantly clear to me because I'm a noob and I had to fiddle with it a bit...

 

this.input.setHitArea(groupName.getChildren()).on('gameobjectdown', function(pointer, gameObject) {

        
        
});
