Source - physics/arcade/Body.js, line 1193

moveFrom(duration, speed, direction) → {boolean}

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.onMoveComplete signal 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.speed value. 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
duration	integer		The duration of the movement, in ms.
speed	integer	<optional>	The speed of the movement, in pixels per second. If not provided Body.speed is used.
direction	integer	<optional>	The angle of movement. If not provided Body.angle is used.

Returns:

boolean -

True if the movement successfully started, otherwise false.

Source - physics/arcade/Body.js, line 877

moveTo(duration, distance, direction) → {boolean}

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.onMoveComplete signal 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.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description

Source - physics/arcade/Body.js, line 1128

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 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.

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
radius	number	<optional>	The radius of the Body in pixels. Pass a value of zero / undefined, to stop the Body using a circle for collision.
offsetX	number	<optional>	The X offset of the Body from the Sprite position.
offsetY	number	<optional>	The Y offset of the Body from the Sprite position.

Source - physics/arcade/Body.js, line 1082

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. This is the position of the Body relative to the top-left of the Sprite texture.

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, 32, 24, 34)

Where the first two parameters is the new Body size (32x32 pixels). 24 is the horizontal offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture, and 34 is the vertical offset.

Calling setSize on a Body that has already had setCircle will reset all of the Circle properties, making this Body rectangular again.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
width	number		The width of the Body.
height	number		The height of the Body.
offsetX	number	<optional>	The X offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture.
