Can't set sprite size to 0. Is this working as intended?

[piotr]

I need to hide a child sprite until it's needed, both to avoid collisions with other sprites and to not be seen on screen. 

If use this.scale.setTo(0,0); I get odd effects (e.g sprite seems to all over the screen, and breaks other's sprite movement).

I can work around this with this.scale.setTo(0.1,0.1); so it's no problem at all. I was just wondering if is this supposed to work as intended

You can set "sprite.visible = false;" to hide the sprite until you need it. You can also remove it from the display list (the world or its parent group) until you need it as well.

Hey, thanks! Didn't know about sprite visibility. Couldn't find how to remove a sprite from the display list in the documentation. How do you do that?

You can do

sprite.parent.removeChild(sprite);

But for most cases it's probably simpler to use

sprite.exists = false;

instead.

Thanks!
