Hello, in my multiplayer game I need to have more control over the positions and movements of the players. `setVelocity` is a great command, but in my case it causes a lot of problems because the speed is persistent and I need to disable it with `setVelocity(0, 0)`. What would work for me would be `sprite.body.x -= 10` however doing this all collisions are ignored. Any tips on how I can shift a sprite by an amount of pixels keeping the collisions working?
