Aligning static body and regular body Speeds in Infinite Runner

Phaser 3
1

Hi everyone, I’m working on an infinite runner where the player should be able to jump on boxes that move from right to left on the screen.

The issue I’m facing is that I have coins using a regular body that moves right to left too via the setVelocity method.

On the other hand, the boxes use a static body. Everything works as expected except for the fact that the boxes and coins move at different speeds. This is because I move the boxes by manually adjusting the X position of the static body, while the coins are moved using the setVelocity method.

How would you suggest I ensure that both the boxes and coins scroll at the same speed?

Thanks in advance :blush:

Hi, instead of this, I would use regular (dynamic) bodies for the boxes and move them with velocity. You can still set body.immovable = true to make them unmovable for collisions.

Thank you, @samme, it’s definitely working better now.

I stilled needed to put the friction to 0 on the body’s box.

I don’t know if it’s the proper way but it worked :grinning:
