Convert p2 physics value (meters) to pixel scale and inverses it. By default Phaser uses a scale of 20px per meter. If you need to modify this you can over-ride these functions via the Physics Configuration object.

Parameters
Name Type Description
v number

The value to convert.

Returns
number -

The scaled value.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 1823)

pause()

Pauses the P2 World independent of the game pause state.

preUpdate()

Called at the start of the core update loop. Purges flagged bodies from the world.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 295)

Returns
Phaser.Physics.P2.Constraint -

The Constraint that was removed.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 1152)

removeContactMaterial(material) → {Phaser.Physics.P2.ContactMaterial}

Removes a Contact Material from the world.

Parameters
Name Type Description
material Phaser.Physics.P2.ContactMaterial

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 971)

reset()

Called by Phaser.Physics when a State swap occurs. Starts the begin and end Contact listeners again.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 798)

resume()

Resumes a paused P2 World.

setBounds(x, y, width, height, left, right, top, bottom, setCollisionGroup)

Sets the bounds of the Physics world to match the given world pixel dimensions. You can optionally set which 'walls' to create: left, right, top or bottom. If none of the walls are given it will default to use the walls settings it had previously. I.e. if you previously told it to not have the left or right walls, and you then adjust the world size the newly created bounds will also not have the left and right walls. Explicitly state them in the parameters to override this.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
x number

The x coordinate of the top-left corner of the bounds.

y number

The y coordinate of the top-left corner of the bounds.

width number

The width of the bounds.

height number

The height of the bounds.

left boolean <optional>
true

If true will create the left bounds wall.

right boolean <optional>
true

If true will create the right bounds wall.

top boolean <optional>
true

If true will create the top bounds wall.

bottom boolean <optional>
true

If true will create the bottom bounds wall.

setCollisionGroup boolean <optional>
true

If true the Bounds will be set to use its own Collision Group.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 644)

setImpactEvents(state)

Impact event handling is disabled by default. Enable it before any impact events will be dispatched. In a busy world hundreds of impact events can be generated every step, so only enable this if you cannot do what you need via beginContact or collision masks.

Parameters
Name Type Description
state boolean

Set to true to enable impact events, or false to disable.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 393)

setMaterial(material, bodies)

Sets the given Material against all Shapes owned by all the Bodies in the given array.

Parameters
Name Type Description
material Phaser.Physics.P2.Material

The Material to be applied to the given Bodies.

bodies array.<Phaser.Physics.P2.Body>

An Array of Body objects that the given Material will be set on.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 1217)

setPostBroadphaseCallback(callback, context)

Sets a callback to be fired after the Broadphase has collected collision pairs in the world. Just because a pair exists it doesn't mean they will collide, just that they potentially could do. If your calback returns false the pair will be removed from the narrowphase. This will stop them testing for collision this step. Returning true from the callback will ensure they are checked in the narrowphase.

Parameters
Name Type Description
callback function

The callback that will receive the postBroadphase event data. It must return a boolean. Set to null to disable an existing callback.

context object

The context under which the callback will be fired.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 413)

toJSON() → {object}

Converts the current world into a JSON object.

Returns
object -

A JSON representation of the world.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 1415)

update()

Internal P2 update loop.

Source code: physics/p2/World.js (Line 774)

updateBoundsCollisionGroup(setCollisionGroup)

By default the World will be set to collide everything with everything. The bounds of the world is a Body with 4 shapes, one for each face. If you start to use your own collision groups then your objects will no longer collide with the bounds. To fix this you need to adjust the bounds to use its own collision group first BEFORE changing your Sprites collision group.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
setCollisionGroup boolean <optional>
true

If true the Bounds will be set to use its own Collision Group.
