Hi. i am making a game .In my game scene i have a platform and 1 player .I am applying velocity on my player using this.physics.velocityFromRotation() and i am giving some random angle.Now the problem is when ever my player lands on a platform it is not stopping ,it is sliding very slowly. I applied friction to both platform and player using this.player.body.friction.x=1 and likewise to the platform. i don’t know how to solve this issue. Thank you ---

Set the platform’s `friction.x` to 0. ---

Thank you for the reply @samme this.Player.body.friction.x=0 //for the player this.bottom.body.friction.x=0 // for the ground. still it is sliding on the ground. i am using arcade physics. do you know what is the issue here? ---

Forget friction, leave that alone. If you want the player to slow down gradually, you can use drag. If you want it to stop immediately, you can zero the horizontal velocity. ---

ok. i will try that one. do you know how to implement it? Any example will help me thank you ---

this.Player.body.setDragX(0) and when you want to slow down the player this.Player.body.setDragX(200) // you need to search the good value ---

@BlunT76 not working. some where i am doing amistake. I will create a simple project and i will try these solutions. Thank you ---

You doesn’t define what happens when they collide: ```javascript this.physics.add.collider(this.Player, this.bottom, function(player, bottom) { player.setDragX(200); }, null, this; ``` Let me know if it works better ---

Thank you. yes. it is working now. i set the dragx to 500. how to reset the value to normal after collision? and what is the initial dragX value? Thank you ---

dragX default value is 0. To reset the value you can use a timer ```javascript this.physics.add.collider(this.Player, this.bottom, function(player, bottom) { player.setDragX(500); this.time.addEvent({ delay: 500, // in ms callback: () => this.player.setDragX(0); // called when delay is reached }); }, null, this; ``` ---

> [@BlunT76](#): > > this.time.addEvent({ delay: 500, // in ms callback: () =\> this.player.setDragX(0); // called when delay is reached }); Thank you. i will check it now. i am new to phaser. please suggest me some tutorials. And i am actually building a fb instant game.i am facing issue with resolution .game is not fitting with the mobile screen. suggest some content for that also. Thank you ---

For mobile resolution look at game config , scale parameters. For tutorials, google will give you better results than me, i usually use the docs and the official phaser 3 examples. And when it is not enough i search with google. It really depends on the kind of games you’re making. ---
