Losing cameras.main between scenes

Phaser 3
1

Hi. ¿Why is the main camera lost in something like this?

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/phaser@3.88.2/dist/phaser.js"></script>    
    <script>
        class Scene1 extends Phaser.Scene {
            constructor(){super({key:'Scene1'});}
            create() {
                console.log(this.cameras.main);
                this.input.keyboard.on('keydown-SPACE',()=>{this.scene.start('Scene2');});
                this.events.once('shutdown', () => {
					this.events.removeAllListeners();
				});
            }
        }
        class Scene2 extends Phaser.Scene {
            constructor(){super({key:'Scene2'});}
            create() {
                this.scene.start('Scene1')
            }
        }
        new Phaser.Game({scene: [Scene1, Scene2]});
    </script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Thanks for Phaser! Best regards

This will prevent the scene systems from restarting. The Camera Manager won’t create any cameras.

Got it! Thanks. Using removeAllListeners on a scene is incompatible with the advice in the docs:

You can emit and listen to your own events on these objects [Phaser objects with their own event emitter], but don’t use any of Phaser’s event names (e.g., “update”), and never remove listeners that aren’t yours.

So, I will use individual off()/removeListener() calls or apply removeAllListeners on a custom emitter.
