Adding physics body to a group

Phaser 3

I am making a game where a chicken is dropping eggs from the sky. However I am having trouble getting the eggs to ‘fall’. I added it as a group with physics enabled. But I cant seem to get the ‘body’ property to come back as anything as null. Here is the relevant code:

class Egg extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite {
constructor(scene) {
var x = scene.chicken.x;
var y = scene.chicken.y + 80;

    super(scene, x, y, "egg");

    // Add the egg to the scene
    scene.add.existing(this);
    this.play("egg_anim");

    // enable physics
    scene.physics.world.enableBody(this);

    this.body.velocity.y = -250;

    // Add the beam to the projectiles group in scene 2
    scene.projectiles.add(this);
}

}

And this is how I add it to the projectiles group:

    this.projectiles = this.physics.add.group();

thanks so much!

:wave:

I tried this and the body part is working correctly, but the velocity is getting reset when you add it to the group. Do this instead:

// enable physics
scene.projectiles.add(this);

this.body.velocity.y = -250;

That got it to work, thanks so much!
