Create and Destroy Sprites Using Functions

[Larry]

I'm trying to create platforms for my player to jump onto and also make collectible stars. I can create these sprites using functions, but I don't know how to make physics work on them so that the character can jump on the platforms and overlap with the stars. The problem is that the physics portion doesn't work when I call it in the update function. I am also not using tilesprites, so it can't work that way.

 

create: function() {
    addStar(star1);
},
update: function() {
    removeStar(star1);
}

addStar(name) {
    name = game.add.sprite(1700, 550, 'star');
    name.anchor.setTo(0.5, 0.5);
    this.game.physics.enable(name, Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
    name.body.collideWorldBounds = false;
    name.enableBody = true;
    name.body.immovable = true;
}

removeStar(name) {
    if (game.physics.arcade.overlap(character, name) == true) {
        name.destroy();

        updateScore();
    }
}

Haven't tried it, but according to the documentation, you must call the overlap method in your update.
