Event: GAMEOBJECT_POINTER_OVER
Phaser.Input.Events.GAMEOBJECT_POINTER_OVER
GAMEOBJECT_POINTER_OVER

Description:

The Game Object Pointer Over Event.

This event is dispatched by an interactive Game Object if a pointer moves over it.

Listen to this event from a Game Object using: gameObject.on('pointerover', listener). Note that the scope of the listener is automatically set to be the Game Object instance itself.

To receive this event, the Game Object must have been set as interactive. See GameObject.setInteractive for more details.

The event hierarchy is as follows:

  1. GAMEOBJECT_POINTER_OVER
  2. GAMEOBJECT_OVER
  3. POINTER_OVER

With the top event being dispatched first and then flowing down the list. Note that higher-up event handlers can stop the propagation of this event.

Parameters:

localY number

The y coordinate that the Pointer interacted with this object on, relative to the Game Object's top-left position.
