Very strange collision behavior

[evilwizard]

I made a pretty good Frogger clone using PhaserJS, but when refactoring the code, I ran into a very, very strange problem.

My vehicles currently have a velocity of 200. When Frogger collides with one of them, that vehicle's velocity drops in half. Frogger also gains the velocity of that object.

In update

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(frogger, vehicles, this.loseLife);

Here's my vehicles code

objects.forEach(o => this.game.physics.arcade.enable(o));
	
    [normalCar1, normalCar2, normalCar3, specialVehicle1, specialVehicle2, specialVehicle3, emergencyVehicle1, emergencyVehicle2, emergencyVehicle3].forEach(function(object) {
        object.body.velocity.x = object.direction == 'right' ? 200 : -200;
});

Here is my loseLife() function

loseLife: function() {
        
    /*switch (frogger.health) {
        case 5: lifeFive.destroy(); break;
        case 4: lifeFour.destroy(); break;
        case 3: lifeThree.destroy(); break;
        case 2: lifeTwo.destroy(); break;
        case 1: lifeOne.destroy(); break;
    }*/

    frogger.damage(1);
    gameState.resetPosition();
    gameState.resetRows();
    /*if (!frogger.alive) {
        clearInterval(sinkLillies);
        game.state.start('gameover');
    }*/       
},

The important method here is resetPosition() which moves Frogger back to the starting position

resetPosition: function() {
    frogger.alpha = 0;
    frogger.x = this.game.world.centerX;
    frogger.y = this.game.world.height - 18;
        
    game.time.events.add(1000, function() {
        this.game.timer = 50000; 
        frogger.alpha = 1;
    }, this);
        
},

The important thing here is that I do not specify that I want the velocity to increase

Hopefully, a video will make it easier to understand

Edit: A temporary working solution

I was able to "solve" this by adding this line in the resetPosition() function

frogger.body.velocity.x = 0;

And to remove that weird behavior of the car slowing down

objects.forEach(function(object) {
    this.game.physics.arcade.enable(object);
    object.body.immovable = true;
});

This is a hack though. I shouldn't have to explicitly add these lines, because collisions shouldn't cause this behavior in the first place.

That's how arcade.collide is intended to work. It sounds like you want to use arcade.overlap instead.

Also you can use `frogger.reset(x, y)`.
