How to react with a single member of a group

I have a bunch of snowmen. They are all tween. When a player is captured by a specific snowman it is carried by it.

It is messy, inconvenient and time wasting to create every single sprite and set it to tween. I have learnt to use

const snowman = this.physics.add.group(); snowman.create(x, y, 'key');

But this does not give each snowman a name. When I set the player's X and Y when it is being carried, I set it to the x and y of the snowman that hit him. If I use the code above, it will obviously no longer work. What can do instead?

Well without knowing your code. I would:

  • Create a variable to mark the snowman, that captured the player
  • and when the player collides with one snowman, set variable. Like this you know which snowman.

in the create function:

function create(){

    ...
    this.mainSnowMan = undefined; // at the begining no snowman is selected
    this.physics.add.collider(player, snowman, (player, currentsnowman) => {
        ...
        this.mainSnowMan = currentsnowman; // set the snowman that collided with the player
    });
    ...
}

documenation to the collider function https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Collider.html
