setTilePosition issue

Hi there,

I’m facing an issue trying to use the setTilePosition method. Here is the context : I’m making a multiplayer project with socket.io. For this project, I would like Phaser to run even if the browser tab is not focus but it seems to be impossible. So, in order to tackle this, I’m requesting the current position of all players on window’s focus event and then I moveTo my other players. BUT, if I wasn’t focusing the game’s browser tab, when I come back at it, the other players start their movement just now.

I first tried to speed up the other players but I don’t managed to succeed. Then I walked into this issue where the method setTilePosition is mentioned so I tried this :

gridEngine.gridCharacters
     .get(onlineUser.id)
      .setTilePosition(
          new Phaser.Math.Vector2(
            onlineUser.coordinates.x,
            onlineUser.coordinates.y
          )
     )

It seems to be hacky right ? Anyway, this is working randomly. Looking at the sources, it seems that the method check whether the player is moving so I tried to call stopMovement before setTilePosition and I got this error.

Thank you and sorry the issue is quite verbose. Happy to provide more information if needed 🙂

I just released version 1.13.0 that should implement the desired behaviour via setPosition() method and also fixes stopMovement(). Let me know if that solves your problem 😃
