Baton only attacks once and thats all

[Limbus]

Godot version is 4.1

 extends Node


@export var weapon_ability: PackedScene

func _ready():
	$Timer.timeout.connect(on_timer_timeout)
const MAX_RANGE = 150
	
func on_timer_timeout():
	print("do something")
	var player = get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("player") as Node2D
	if player == null:
		return
	
	var hoodies = get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("enemy")
	hoodies = hoodies.filter(func(hoodies: Node2D):
		return hoodies.global_position.distance_squared_to(player.global_position) < pow(MAX_RANGE, 2)
		return false
	)

	if hoodies.size() == 0:
		return
		
	hoodies.sort_custom(func(a: Node2D, b: Node2D):
		var a_distance = a.global_position.distance_squared_to(player.global_position) 
		var b_distance = b.global_position.distance_squared_to(player.global_position) 
		return a_distance < b_distance 
	)
	
	var baton_instance = weapon_ability.instantiate() as Node2D
	player.get_parent().add_child(baton_instance)
	baton_instance.global_position = hoodies[0].global_position

Question
How to make the baton attack the enemy multiple times? It only spawns on the enemy once and doesn’t come back despite the enemy being closer to the player. This is for a school project

Check the “One Shot” property of your timer. If it’s on, the timer will only timeout once.
