Best way to move player sprite

Phaser 3
1

Hi there!
I’m using a physics arcade.
I’m having some doubt about how to move the player.
I already tried of these 3 methods on the update function:

        player.body.y += 1;
        player.y += 1;
        player.setVelocity(0, 48);

With the first two ones I notice that when the sprite touches a screen edge, it still moves a little bit out of it.
But with the setVelocity, the sprite doesn’t do that.
How should I use and what is the difference between them?

Hi,
Try player.body.setVelocity(0, 48), if you modify the body.y directly the collisions wouldn’t work

Hi!
Thanks for the info! Didn’t know the collision thing.
Yes, I have changed:

this.player.setVelocity

to

this.player.body.setVelocity.

Thank you!
