new Body(sprite)
The Physics Body is linked to a single Sprite. All physics operations should be performed against the body rather than the Sprite itself. For example you can set the velocity, acceleration, bounce values etc all on the Body.

If you have a Body that is being moved around the world via a tween or a Group motion, but its local x/y position never actually changes, then you should set Body.moves = false. Otherwise it will most likely fly off the screen. If you want the physics system to move the body around, then set moves to true.
A Body with moves = false can still be moved slightly (but not accelerated) during collision separation unless you set immovable as well. Set to true to allow the Physics system to move this Body, otherwise false to move it manually.

moveFrom(duration [, speed] [, direction])
-
Note: This method is experimental, and may be changed or removed in a future release.
This method moves the Body in the given direction, for the duration specified. It works by setting the velocity on the Body, and an internal timer, and then monitoring the duration each frame. When the duration is up the movement is stopped and the
Body.onMoveCompletesignal is dispatched.Movement also stops if the Body collides or overlaps with any other Body.
You can control if the velocity should be reset to zero on collision, by using the property
Body.stopVelocityOnCollide.Stop the movement at any time by calling
Body.stopMovement.You can optionally set a speed in pixels per second. If not specified it will use the current
Body.speedvalue. If this is zero, the function will return false.Please note that due to browser timings you should allow for a variance in when the duration will actually expire. Depending on system it may be as much as +- 50ms. Also this method doesn't take into consideration any other forces acting on the Body, such as Gravity, drag or maxVelocity, all of which may impact the movement.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description durationinteger The duration of the movement, in ms.
speedinteger <optional>
The speed of the movement, in pixels per second. If not provided
Body.speedis used.directioninteger <optional>
The angle of movement. If not provided

True if the movement successfully started, otherwise false.
- Type
- boolean
-
moveTo(duration, distance [, direction])
-
Note: This method is experimental, and may be changed or removed in a future release.
This method moves the Body in the given direction, for the duration specified. It works by setting the velocity on the Body, and an internal distance counter. The distance is monitored each frame. When the distance equals the distance specified in this call, the movement is stopped, and the
Body.onMoveCompletesignal is dispatched.Movement also stops if the Body collides or overlaps with any other Body.
You can control if the velocity should be reset to zero on collision, by using the property
Body.stopVelocityOnCollide.Stop the movement at any time by calling
Body.stopMovement.Please note that due to browser timings you should allow for a variance in when the distance will actually expire.
Note: This method doesn't take into consideration any other forces acting on the Body, such as Gravity, drag or maxVelocity, all of which may impact the movement.

reset(x, y)

Resets all Body values (velocity, acceleration, rotation, etc)
Parameters:
Name Type Description xnumber The new x position of the Body.
ynumber The new y position of the Body.
-
setCircle( [radius] [, offsetX] [, offsetY])
-
Sets this Body as using a circle, of the given radius, for all collision detection instead of a rectangle. The radius is given in pixels (relative to the Sprite's texture) and is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge.
You can also control the x and y offset, which is the position of the Body relative to the top-left of the Sprite's texture.
To change a Body back to being rectangular again call
Body.setSize.Note: Circular collision only happens with other Arcade Physics bodies, it does not work against tile maps, where rectangular collision is the only method supported.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description radiusnumber <optional>
The radius of the Body in pixels. Pass a value of zero / undefined, to stop the Body using a circle for collision.
offsetXnumber <optional>
The X offset of the Body from the left of the Sprite's texture.
offsetYnumber <optional>
The Y offset of the Body from the top of the Sprite's texture.
-
setSize(width, height [, offsetX] [, offsetY])
-
You can modify the size of the physics Body to be any dimension you need. This allows you to make it smaller, or larger, than the parent Sprite. You can also control the x and y offset of the Body.
The width, height, and offset arguments are relative to the Sprite texture and are scaled with the Sprite's Phaser.Sprite#scale (but not the scale of any ancestors or the Camera scale).
For example: If you have a Sprite with a texture that is 80x100 in size, and you want the physics body to be 32x32 pixels in the middle of the texture, you would do:
setSize(32 / Math.abs(this.scale.x), 32 / Math.abs(this.scale.y), 24, 34)Where the first two parameters are the new Body size (32x32 pixels) relative to the Sprite's scale. 24 is the horizontal offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture, and 34 is the vertical offset.
If you've scaled a Sprite by altering its
width,height, orscaleand you want to position the Body relative to the Sprite's dimensions (which will differ from its texture's dimensions), you should divide these arguments by the Sprite's current scale:setSize(32 / sprite.scale.x, 32 / sprite.scale.y)Calling
setSizeon a Body that has already hadsetCirclewill reset all of the Circle properties, making this Body rectangular again.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description widthnumber The width of the Body, relative to the Sprite's texture.
heightnumber The height of the Body, relative to the Sprite's texture.
offsetXnumber <optional>
The X offset of the Body from the left of the Sprite's texture.
offsetYnumber <optional>
The Y offset of the Body from the top of the Sprite's texture.
