State reset problem (Phaser Coding Tips 7)

[nkholski]

I based my game's bullet system on "Phaser Coding Tips 7",  the create a Shoot-em-up tutorial (http://phaser.io/tutorials/coding-tips-007). Everything works fine until I reset the state, and I can't figure out any solution (this.getFirstExists(false) fails to find any bullets).

 

The tutorial source code is available on: http://jsbin.com/ferapejeja/edit?js,output

 

I added this in the Create-function at JS Bin to simulate the exact same problem I face in my game:

 

var reset = this.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.R);reset.onDown.add(function(){this.game.state.start('Game');}, this);

If I hit "R" during game play the state resets as expected, and everything seems to work OK except the bullets wont work.

 

Any ideas on how this could be solved?
