setPollAlways() does nothing. InputManager only updates on DOM event callback.

Version

• Phaser Version: 3.16.2
• Operating system: Windows 10
• Browser: Browser independent

Description

Expectation:
http://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src/input\mouse\poll%20always.js
If I don't move my mouse and the sprite moves over my mouse the sprite gets red.

Bug: InputManager only updates on any DOM input event callbacks. Make setPollAlways work or a way to manually trigger an InputManager update on my tween/animation update callbacks.

Example Test Code

http://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src/input\mouse\poll%20always.js

Additional Information

Make setPollAlways work(so the theres a loop in the InputManager that is called on a regular gameloop update and not just on event update) or a way to manually trigger an InputManager update on my tween/animation update callbacks.

A note on this. It appears that this broke after 3.15.1. If you go to http://labs.phaser.io/edit.html?src=src\input\mouse\poll%20always.js you'll notice that it's loading 3.15.1 and still works. But when you're on http://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src/input%5Cmouse%5Cpoll%20always.js its loading 3.16.2 and doesn't work.

Thank you for submitting this issue. We have fixed this and the fix has been pushed to the master branch. It will be part of the next release. If you get time to build and test it for yourself we would appreciate that.

@photonstorm This isn't working for me in 3.22.0, it works in 3.15.0

Actually, I take the back. Doing this.input.activePointer.updateWorldPoint(this.cameras.main); in the update method works as per #4658
