Inherited sprite update not firing

[Eli Broide]

Hey, I got a class inheriting from sprite.

 

Example

function Player(x, y, options){   Phaser.Sprite.call(this, game, x, y);}Player.prototype = Object.create(Phaser.Sprite.prototype);Player.prototype.constructor = Player;Player.prototype.update = function() {   console.log('here');}

The console shows "here" when I do 

game.add.existing(new Player(0, 0));

However, it does not show "here" when I do

var player = new Player(0,0);var container = game.add.sprite();container.addChild(player);

How can I change it so it would work?

I personally use this way when extending a sprite

function Player(x, y, options){   Phaser.Sprite.call(this, game, x, y);   game.add.existing(this);}

This way, there is no need to call game.add.existing individually on all the extended sprites.

 

In your second method, since the sprite has not been added to the stage, it just sits there doing nothing.
