Object Orientation and Events

[cruseyd]

I come from a C++ background, so I quite like working with classes in Javascript. I'm building a custom object, extending Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite, and trying to set up the events for it in its constructor (see attached code). The code compiles, but the even simply wont fire! What am I doing wrong?

Ah I see... Is the 'click' event just deprecated or something? Is there a resource where I could have found a list of events that are valid for GameObjects? Surely this must exist, but the only API I have been able to find is this: https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Events.EventEmitter.html

You're not directly handling browser onClick or other input events; all input is handled through the InputPlugin.js here.  One benefit of this is you're handling both mouse and touch events with a pointer object (or multiple pointers).

Input events are in the above link are all emitted from processDownEvents, processDragEvents, processMoveEvents, processOverOutEvents, and processUpEvents methods.
