Keeping sprites still

[dcbriccetti]

Hi all. I just started using Phaser, and I’m excited by the potential. I could use some help with some problems in this game:

https://github.com/dcbriccetti/web-games/commit/d814fe45a655e8fc0916149156fca95cb22c7a3c#diff-ad4eb6229e24f5cc681cc10695f640ca

 

When the player character hits the “mines” (lightning bolts), he rotates. I don’t want him to. Sometimes the mines move about “aimlessly”. I don’t want them to move (except perhaps a little when the player character bumps them).

 

I’ve looked at several examples and read some of the source code, but I feel like I’m still sort of guessing about a lot of things. Perhaps someone could give the code a quick general review?

 

Thanks!

To stop the player rotating you need to fix its body: http://docs.phaser.io/Phaser.Physics.P2.Body.html#fixedRotation

Sprite.body.fixedRotation = true;

To stop the mines moving you probably want to do the same and then maybe make them static? Although that would completely stop them moving. Perhaps they just need a little more mass to make them heavier?

Thanks! I decided to let the mines move. I like the effect. The game is further along now. I would still love a code review if anybody is inclined.

I don't suppose there is a way to fix the rotation for an object using Arcade physics? Suppose I want to rotate a sprite, use velocity from Rotation, but don't want the actual image texture to rotate?

Ah, nevermind. I could just change the rotation on another point object and use that to determine velocity instead of the sprite's point object. Silly question.
