Adding an exsting TimerEvent to scene.time.addEvent() doesn't work #7314

Version

  • Phaser Version: 4.1.0

Description

In the scene.time.addEvent(instance) path. The intent looks like it would remove from wherever it currently is, reset it, re-add it. But the implementation sequences it incorrectly:

  1. removeEvent(event) → pushes to _pendingRemoval
  2. Resets elapsed, repeatCount, etc. (but not the callback)
  3. Pushes to _pendingInsertion

Then in preUpdate:

  1. Removals run first → event.destroy() → callback = undefined
  2. Insertions run second → event added to _active with no callback

This breaks for any existing instance, including timers already running in _active. The destroy wipes the callback before the re-insertion, so the timer advances normally but fires nothing.
