You still need to call game.physics.arcade.collide in your update method in order
for this signal to be dispatched.

Usually you'd pass a callback to the collide method, but this signal provides for
a different level of notification.

Due to the potentially high volume of signals this could create it is disabled by default.

To use this feature set this property to a Phaser.Signal: sprite.body.onCollide = new Phaser.Signal()
and it will be called when a collision happens, passing two arguments: the sprites which collided.
The first sprite in the argument is always the owner of this Body.

If two Bodies with this Signal set collide, both will dispatch the Signal.

You still need to call game.physics.arcade.overlap in your update method in order
for this signal to be dispatched.

Usually you'd pass a callback to the overlap method, but this signal provides for
a different level of notification.

Due to the potentially high volume of signals this could create it is disabled by default.

To use this feature set this property to a Phaser.Signal: sprite.body.onOverlap = new Phaser.Signal()
and it will be called when a collision happens, passing two arguments: the sprites which collided.
The first sprite in the argument is always the owner of this Body.

If two Bodies with this Signal set collide, both will dispatch the Signal.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 241)

onWorldBounds : Phaser.Signal

A Signal that is dispatched when this Body collides with the world bounds.
Due to the potentially high volume of signals this could create it is disabled by default.
To use this feature set this property to a Phaser.Signal: sprite.body.onWorldBounds = new Phaser.Signal()
and it will be called when a collision happens, passing five arguments:
onWorldBounds(sprite, up, down, left, right)
where the Sprite is a reference to the Sprite that owns this Body, and the other arguments are booleans
indicating on which side of the world the Body collided.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 201)

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 55)

[readonly] right : number

The right value of this Body (same as Body.x + Body.width)

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 1341)

rotation : number

The Body's rotation in degrees, as calculated by its angularVelocity and angularAcceleration. Please understand that the collision Body
itself never rotates, it is always axis-aligned. However these values are passed up to the parent Sprite and updates its rotation.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 85)

Typically you would need to enable syncBounds if your sprite is the child of a responsive display object such as a FlexLayer,
or in any situation where the Sprite scale doesn't change, but its parents scale is effecting the dimensions regardless.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 417)

tilePadding : Phaser.Point

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 1195)

moveFrom(duration, speed, direction) → {boolean}

Note: This method is experimental, and may be changed or removed in a future release.

This method moves the Body in the given direction, for the duration specified.
It works by setting the velocity on the Body, and an internal timer, and then
monitoring the duration each frame. When the duration is up the movement is
stopped and the Body.onMoveComplete signal is dispatched.

Movement also stops if the Body collides or overlaps with any other Body.

You can control if the velocity should be reset to zero on collision, by using
the property Body.stopVelocityOnCollide.

Stop the movement at any time by calling Body.stopMovement.

You can optionally set a speed in pixels per second. If not specified it
will use the current Body.speed value. If this is zero, the function will return false.

Please note that due to browser timings you should allow for a variance in
when the duration will actually expire. Depending on system it may be as much as
+- 50ms. Also this method doesn't take into consideration any other forces acting
on the Body, such as Gravity, drag or maxVelocity, all of which may impact the
movement.

Parameters

Name	Type	Argument	Description
duration	integer		The duration of the movement, in ms.
speed	integer	<optional>	The speed of the movement, in pixels per second. If not provided Body.speed is used.
direction	integer	<optional>	The angle of movement. If not provided Body.angle is used.

Returns

boolean -

True if the movement successfully started, otherwise false.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 879)

moveTo(duration, distance, direction) → {boolean}

Note: This method is experimental, and may be changed or removed in a future release.

This method moves the Body in the given direction, for the duration specified.
It works by setting the velocity on the Body, and an internal distance counter.
The distance is monitored each frame. When the distance equals the distance
specified in this call, the movement is stopped, and the Body.onMoveComplete
signal is dispatched.

Movement also stops if the Body collides or overlaps with any other Body.

You can control if the velocity should be reset to zero on collision, by using
the property Body.stopVelocityOnCollide.

Stop the movement at any time by calling Body.stopMovement.

Please note that due to browser timings you should allow for a variance in
when the distance will actually expire.

Note: This method doesn't take into consideration any other forces acting
on the Body, such as Gravity, drag or maxVelocity, all of which may impact the
movement.

Parameters

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
x	number	The new x position of the Body.
y	number	The new y position of the Body.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 1130)

setCircle(radius, offsetX, offsetY)

Sets this Body as using a circle, of the given radius, for all collision detection instead of a rectangle.
The radius is given in pixels and is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge.

You can also control the x and y offset, which is the position of the Body relative to the top-left of the Sprite.

To change a Body back to being rectangular again call Body.setSize.

Note: Circular collision only happens with other Arcade Physics bodies, it does not
work against tile maps, where rectangular collision is the only method supported.

Parameters

Name	Type	Argument	Description
radius	number	<optional>	The radius of the Body in pixels. Pass a value of zero / undefined, to stop the Body using a circle for collision.
offsetX	number	<optional>	The X offset of the Body from the Sprite position.
offsetY	number	<optional>	The Y offset of the Body from the Sprite position.

Source code: physics/arcade/Body.js (Line 1084)

setSize(width, height, offsetX, offsetY)

You can modify the size of the physics Body to be any dimension you need.
This allows you to make it smaller, or larger, than the parent Sprite.
You can also control the x and y offset of the Body. This is the position of the
Body relative to the top-left of the Sprite texture.

For example: If you have a Sprite with a texture that is 80x100 in size,
and you want the physics body to be 32x32 pixels in the middle of the texture, you would do:

setSize(32, 32, 24, 34)

Where the first two parameters is the new Body size (32x32 pixels).
24 is the horizontal offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture, and 34
is the vertical offset.

Calling setSize on a Body that has already had setCircle will reset all of the Circle
properties, making this Body rectangular again.

Parameters

Name	Type	Argument	Description
width	number		The width of the Body.
height	number		The height of the Body.
offsetX	number	<optional>	The X offset of the Body from the top-left of the Sprites texture.

has Body.isMoving true), then calling this method will stop the movement before
either the duration or distance counters expire.

The onMoveComplete signal is dispatched.

Parameters
