Is there anyway to have a collide event on a sprite?

Phaser 3
1

I’m looking for something along the lines of this:

class Player extends Phaser.Sprite
{
    constructor(scene, x, y)
    {
        // etc ...

        // This is what I want:
        this.on("collide", this.onCollide);
    }

    onCollide(object)
    {
        // Do something with `object`
        // Note: `object` can be any other sprite in the entire scene
    }
}

Is there any way to achieve this without having separate code for each game object in the scene? I want just like 10-20 lines of code to achieve this for all sprites of the scene.

Hi,
It seems the collide event only work within a scene
From the doc:

The Arcade Physics World Collide Event.

This event is dispatched by an Arcade Physics World instance if two bodies collide and at least one of them has their [onCollide]{@link Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Body#onCollide} property set to true.

It provides an alternative means to handling collide events rather than using the callback approach.

Listen to it from a Scene using: this.physics.world.on('collide', listener).

Please note that 'collide' and 'overlap' are two different things in Arcade Physics.

But you can do something like this in the scene:
Push every scene object to an array and add a scene collider

this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.arrayOfObjects, this.player.onCollide(player, obj), undefined, this);
