So like, here's the code. I'm really new to all of this, but I wanted to try something like this out for a project I'm assigned at school.
'use strict'
const Game = new Phaser.Game(1920, 1080, Phaser.AUTO, 'game-canvas', { preload, create,update })
let player
let cursors
let speed
let cursor
Game.physics.arcade.enable()
function preload() {
Game.load.spritesheet('mechove','mechove.png',71/2,29/1)
}
function create() {
player = Game.add.sprite(Game.width/2, Game.height/2, 'mechove')
player.scale.setTo(3,3)
player.anchor.setTo(0.6,0.6)
Game.physics.arcade.enable(player)
player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;
cursors=Game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys()
player.body.allowRotation = false;
player.frame = 1
}
function update(){
console.log(Game.input.activePointer.x)
player.rotation = Game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer(player, 20, Game.input.activePointer, 1000);
}
P.S. I want to detect collision between the cursor and the sprite 'mechove', because it's spritesheet consists of one bloody sword and one non-bloody, the idea is that when the sword-sprite touches the cursor the bloody one comes up.
As winner_joiner pointed out, it looks like you're using Phaser 2. The way to achieve this interaction in Phaser 2 is: First enable inputs on the player sprite (this is the case for any GameObject) using the .inputEnabled property:
player.inputEnabled = true;
Then, in the update() functon, you can continually check the pointerOver() function on the input property of player:
function update() {
if (player.input.pointerOver()) {
// do something
}
}
Here's an example with code for this exact scenario. I highly recommend going through the examples catalogue when you want to figure out how to do something in Phaser. They help me a lot.
If using Phaser 3, you can detect the mouse cursor interacting with any GameObject (such as the player sprite) by calling the .setInteractive() function on player and creating a listener for the 'pointerover' on the sprite:
player.setInteractive().on('pointerover', callbackHandleFunc)
