Wrong Sprite in Group being killed

[Kraken]

I have just started to learn Phaser and I am having a problem with killing sprites. I'm trying to have the enemy sprites die when the player sprite hits the enemy from above. Once it's hit, the enemy will play a dead sprite animation and then be killed after a 1 second timer is completed. I have 4 enemies drop from the top every 5 seconds.

The problem comes when one of the enemies are hit from above, it  will sometimes trigger the incorrect enemy to be killed. Here is some of the code related to the enemy being created and killed.

this.slimePool = this.add.group();
		this.slimePool.enableBody = true;
		for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++){
		this.slimeCreator = this.game.time.events.loop(Phaser.Timer.SECOND * 5, this.createSlime, this);
		}

this.slimePool.forEachAlive(function(element){
		if(element.y >= this.game.height){
			element.kill(); 
		}
	  }, this);

this.game.physics.arcade.collide(this.player, this.slimePool, this.hitEnemy, null, this);

createSlime: function() {
		if(this.player.alive){
			this.slime = this.slimePool.getFirstExists(false);
				
		
		if(!this.slime) {
			this.slime = new Phaser.Sprite(this.game, 0, 0, 'slime');
			this.slimePool.add(this.slime);
			this.slime.animations.add('slimeWalk', [0,1], 3, true);
			this.slime.animations.add('slimeDead', [2], true);
			this.slime.play('slimeWalk');
				
			}
		
		
			this.slime.reset(560 + Math.random() * 600, 0);
			this.slime.body.velocity.x = -275;
			
		
		}
	},
	hitEnemy: function(player, slime) {
        if(slime.body.touching.up){
			this.player.body.velocity.y = -300;
			this.slime.play('slimeDead');
			this.game.time.events.add(Phaser.Timer.SECOND * 1, this.killEnemy, this);
			
		}
		else{
			this.gameOver();
		}
    },
	killEnemy: function() {
			this.slime.kill();
			this.slime.play('slimeWalk');
			
		
    },

When you are creating a slime, you are assigning it to this.slime...

When you collide with ANY slime, this.slime is the one you are killing...

It might be the right one, it might not be...

(slime.body.touching.up){
			this.player.body.velocity.y = -300;
			this.slime.play('slimeDead'); // THIS LINE HERE...
			this.game.time.events.add(Phaser.Timer.SECOND * 1, this.killEnemy, this);
			
		}

Remove this. before slime, and see what happens...

Thanks for the reply!

That did help, but now the animation is stuck on slime dead for 3 of the 4 while the one works as intended. I'm not sure if it has to do with the timer I set up and the corresponding function.

I figured out why only one of the enemy slime would work. It wasn't the timer but just a matter of resetting the animation properly. Thanks XekeDeath!
