Hi! 🙂

I saw [this](http://phaser.io/examples/v3/view/physics/arcade/add-body-to-tilesprite) example the other day and I was wondering why it doesn’t work as expected if I try to scaled it down. 🤨

Look at [this](https://codepen.io/stefanPavel/full/mddradv) codepen for a quick understanting of my problem.

Any thoughts? 🤔

For the static block, you are giving that game object a static body here: `this.physics.add.existing(staticBlock, true);`. When a game object has a static body, any time you make changes to the game object, you have to manually update that game objects body.

Reference: [https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.StaticBody.html](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.StaticBody.html)

Another solution is, you could give that game object a dynamic body and then update the `setImmovable` property, which will prevent the game object from moving.

Example:

```javascript
this.physics.add.existing(staticBlock, false);
// doesn't work as expected if it is put here
staticBlock.setScale(0.5);
staticBlock.body.immovable = true;

```

Hi, @scottwestover, thanks a lot for the example that you offered! It worked! I also tried the first solution, but now it appears that the game can’t “see” the collision at all. I guesses that by

> [@scottwestover](#):
>
> manually update that game objects body

you mean using the `staticBlock.refreshBody();` instruction as in [this](http://phaser.io/examples/v3/view/physics/arcade/static-body-update) example.  
Anyway, thanks again for your help! 🙂

My mistake: I replaced

> [@Stefan-Pavel](#):
>
> staticBlock.refreshBody();

with `staticBlock.body.updateFromGameObject();` and now both solutions work as intended. 😊
