(JFX) Troubles when loading images using a static method and inherited classes - image

Question

I'm trying to load 2 images using a static method loadImage(String) that I made.
This method is stored in my Entity (abstract) class and my classes Projectile and Player are inheriting from this entity.
However when I'm using this method (2 times since i'm loading "Projectile.loadImage("image1");" and "Player.loadImage("image2");") only the second image is stored.
I'm thinking that it's cause by the inheritance since the loadImage() method is written in the Entity class so it might be changing the static sprite from the Entity and not Player or Projectile, but i don't know how to fix this without recreating a loadImage() method for all subclasses and having the subclasses not inheriting the sprite property but instead having their own ones
Here is an example of the code :
//Main class
package application;
import Entities.*;
import javafx.animation.AnimationTimer;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application
{
final int WIDTH = 800;
final int HEIGHT = 800;
public int frameCount = 0;
Player p;
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Player.loadImage("/images/isaac.png");
Projectile.loadImage("/images/tear.png");
stage.setTitle("My first JFX / Java project");
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, WIDTH, HEIGHT);
p = new Player(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2,root);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.sizeToScene();
stage.show();
}
}
//Entity Class and load Image
package Entities;
import application.Vector2;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
public abstract class Entity {
protected double x;
protected double y;
private Group root;
protected Vector2 dir;
protected double speed;
private static Image sprite;
private ImageView iv;
private int size;
private double hp;
public Entity(float px, float py,Group r, Image s) {
root = r;
x = px;
y = py;
size = 100;
iv = new ImageView(s);
dir = new Vector2(0,0);
speed = 0.2;
hp = 3;
root.getChildren().add(iv);
iv.setX(x);
iv.setY(y);
iv.setFitWidth(100);
iv.setFitHeight(100);
}
public static void loadImage(String input) {
sprite = new Image(input);
}
//Player class constructor
package Entities;
import application.Vector2;
import javafx.scene.Group;
public class Player extends Entity{
private boolean north, west, south, east;
private boolean shootN, shootW, shootS, shootE;
private Vector2 pInput;
public Player(float px, float py,Group r) {
super(px,py,r,getSprite());
north = false;
west = false;
south = false;
east = false;
pInput = new Vector2(0,0);
setHp(10);
}
}
//Projectile Constructor
package Entities;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import application.Vector2;
import javafx.scene.Group;
public class Projectile extends Entity{
private double speed;
Entity parent;
int lifespan;
public Projectile(float px, float py,Group r,Entity p,Vector2 d){
super(px,py,r,getSprite());
speed = 5;
dir = new Vector2(d.x,d.y);
dir.x += p.dir.x/30;
dir.y += p.dir.y/30;
lifespan = 100;
parent = p;
}
}
