Cannot convert argument from object to vector 2i

[gertkeno]

The preloads are strange, I’m not sure what you intend to do with those. preload only loads a resource, when used on it’s own line (not assigned to a variable) it’s pretty much useless. Do you need to get a reference to the TileMapLayer from the RayCast or vice-versa? I believe we went over doing this from RayCast to TileMapLayer via get_collider()?

@gertkeno

I think you want the raycast to get the tilemaplayer by collision

if is_colliding():
    var collider := get_collider()
    if collider is TileMapLayer:
        var collision_point := get_collision_point()
        # need to do some coversion that I am not familiar with.
        collider.set_cell(collision_point, 0, _land)

I don’t see a reason to go the other way from TileMapLayer to RayCast, but you could use @export or show your scene tree so I can help devise a path with $.

Might be helpful to go over a tutorial on the scene tree, maybe go through the “Dodge the Creeps” tutorial and pay close attention to anything with the get_node symbol $
