Sprites no longer placed where I want them to be

Phaser 3

Hello, I’m creating a Space Invaders style game and I’ve been stuck on this bug for quite a while. When you start the game, it will spawn enemies like this:

bug1

The bug occurs when you defeat all of the enemies. The game is supposed to simply respawn new ones in the same pattern, but there is a bug causing them to spawn higher and to the left like this:

bug2
bug2751×580 56.2 KB

The enemies are created with a createEnemies method:

'createEnemies(){

	for(var y = 0; y < 3; y++) {
		for(var x = 0; x < 6; x++) {

				var enemy = this.enemies1.create((1.3*x + 2) * (550 / 7) + 30, ((1.5*y + 2) * 50) - 35, this.getEnemyString(displayed[0]));
				this.enemies.add(enemy); 
				enemy.setScale(.6);
				enemy.flipY = true;
			
			enemy.body.velocity.x = -90
		}
	}
	
	// timer to make enemies change direction
	this.enemyTimer = this.time.addEvent({
		delay: 1500,
		callback: this.changeEnemyDirection,
		callbackScope: this,
		loop: true
	});
}'

For the first call to the function (when the enemies are created initially), it is simply called in the create() method. When it is called again, it is called in an enemyReset() method, where it and many other things are reset.

` enemyReset() {

		this.projectiles.clear(true, true);
		this.enemyProjectiles.clear(true, true);
		this.enemies.clear(true, true);
		this.enemies1.clear(true, true);
		this.enemies2.clear(true, true);
		this.enemies3.clear(true, true);
		this.enemies4.clear(true, true);
		this.enemyTimer.remove();
		this.createEnemies();
		
		this.enem_defeated = 0;
		this.defeatedText.text = "Enemies Defeated: " + this.enem_defeated;
}`

I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong because the createEnemies() method seems straightforward enough and it’s being placed in a constant value location.

You can try updating Phaser, there was an odd physics bug like this.
