Phaser 2.5 Sprite reset

[deleteme]

Hey all! I'm having an issue where i'm trying to reset the player sprite, but it doesn't do anything,

and the console yields no errors and i know i'm trying to reset the right thing. I recently grabbed a copy of Phaser 2.5,

and yet if i switch back to the older phaser i was using (2.4.4) the reset i have works correctly. I'm a little stumped on what I'm missing here,

any help would be appreciated!

If it works in previous versions than it may be a bug, other than that can't help you much without seeing a bit of your code. I would report it as a bug anyway considering it works for you in previous version.

So I'm creating my player object and setting up some animations for him

player = game.add.sprite(-40, game.world.height - 97, "DoomGuy");
    player.animations.add("walk");
    player.animations.play("walk", 4, true);
    player.anchor.setTo(0.5, 0.6);
    player.scale.setTo(0.7, 0.7);
    game.camera.follow(player);
    
    game.physics.arcade.enable(player);
    player.body.gravity.y = 680;
    player.body.collideWorldBounds = true;

 

then later on say when the player is killed by an enemy or completes the level i want him to reset back to spawn and kill him so that i can display a score

and i do this with thise line

player.reset().kill();
