Adding sprites and adding them to groups in the same line

[evilwizard 0]

I looked at the documentation on how to create a sprite

https://phaser.io/docs/2.6.2/Phaser.GameObjectFactory.html#sprite

It takes in the following parameters

1. x
2. y
3. key
4. frame
5. group

It's very easy to add a sprite with just the first three parameters

car1 = this.game.add.sprite(800, 400, 'car');

But it fails when I try to add the car to a group

car1 = this.game.add.sprite(800, 400, 'car', objects);

If I went with the first declaration and then added

objects.add(car1)

it will then work

I need to use the second declaration because my codebase is becoming way too large, and I need fewer lines.

Not sure, why this is failing. Maybe an update killed this functionality?

You need to omit frame (4):

car1 = this.game.add.sprite(800, 400, 'car', null, objects);

I would like to thank you for your quick response.

Indeed, you must pass in something for all of the parameters, even if it's null. I got confused because the documentation said they were optional. Adding null to the frame parameter solves this issue.

Once again, thank you. This was very helpful for me
