Phaser 3 Equvelant of phaser 2 code snippet

[scope2229]

i have this code

var enemy = greenEnemies.getFirstExists(false);

if (enemy) {
  enemy.reset(game.rnd.integerInRange(0, game.width), -20);
  enemy.body.velocity.x = game.rnd.integerInRange(-300, 300);
  enemy.body.velocity.y = ENEMY_SPEED;
  enemy.body.drag.x = 100;
}

im lost as to how to recreate the enemy.reset.

I tried to detroy and then recreate but that gave a bunch of weird issues to with the child being removed

[samme]

There is 

enemy.enableBody(true, X, Y, true, true)

or maybe 

if (enemy) {
  enemy.setActive().body.reset(X, Y);
}

I'm struggling to find exactly what it is reset actually could you explain it a little more as your example has just wiped what i thought it did.

I assumed it first killed the child then created a new one or is it a javascript thing not a phaser thing ??

 

[samme]

I'm not sure you need reset, so skip that if it's confusing.

var enemy = greenEnemies.getFirstDead();

if (enemy) { // first inactive enemy
  // activate and show it
  enemy.setActive().setVisible();
  enemy.setVelocity(/*…*/);
  enemy.setDragX(/*…*/);
} else {
  // no inactive enemies available
}

the problem is From that tutorial i should have randomly spawning tai_fighters that have random movement on the x axis with random speed set. thing is i get one tai fighter sometimes. This is because sometimes the random number is outside the frame that i can fix later. If i continue to refresh the page eventually i do get a little tai fighter zoom across the screen hahah

From what i can tell from the many variations ive tried the problem lies with launchtaifighter. the first thing i did was remove the error with the reset just to see if anything else broke. but i got no errors only with that. with your earlier fix i managed to get rid of the error display the taifighter even have it face the angle of movement but only the one haha just that one tiny fighter
