Can't set x/y of sprites, only velocity

[Stephen304]

So I have a sprite for the player basically the same way as tutorials:

    player = game.add.sprite(32, game.world.height - 150, 'man');    player.body.bounce.y = 0;    player.body.gravity.y = 6;    player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;

And I know I can set velocity with

player.body.velocity.x = 150;

But how can I teleport the player? I have tried:

player.body.x = 50;

But it seems to get reverted back instantly to the original coordinate.

Set player.x instead. The body should follow.

This may cause some strange behaviour, as the body and sprite will be in different places for the frame.

Thanks, that works!
