Check if sprite exists

Phaser 3
1

I originally wanted to find a way to control the x y coordinates of a sprite being added depending on the situation but that’s not working. My other idea is to add the sprite at the beginning. If I need the sprite to be added at different coordinates I add the sprite again further down in the code. It seems to correctly take the new coordinates but the tween (for the sprite) makes it disappear sooner than I want. Is there a way to check if a sprite (and/or tween) already exists before I add it?

This if(typeof spriteName === 'undefined'){... doesn’t work too well.

I think the answer is to not add the sprite twice but use sprite.setX() and sprite.setY() to change the coordinates. This didn’t work before because the tween was already running. If I pause the tween first, it seems to take the new coordinates when the tween is played.
