Best way to do Pickable objects (like coins in Mario)

[ZoomBox]

Hello !

I'm wondering what would be the best way to have pickable objects (with Physics.P2) ?

 

I mean, I wan't to be able to interact with this item by its body but without it to be blocking me.

 

The scenario would be: I have a Player class, a Pickable class (a coin). Once the player's body touches the coin's body it fires an event (like onBeginContact) but never blocks me.

 

It looks possible with:

-Sprite.overlap (but not accurate at all)

-Solid bodies and body.onBeginContact(...) then I immediatly clearShapes (but it's not clean, and the player will still be stuck 1 frame)

...

 

Thank you :-) !

What if you make the coin into a P2 sensor? sprite.body.data.shapes[0].sensor = true;
