@export (PackedScene) var Ball # This line specifically is the problem
func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed(“click”):
var new_ball = Ball.instantiate()
new_ball.position = get_viewport().get_mouse_position()
add_child(new_ball)
Error message is as follows;
Annotation “@export” requires at most 0 arguments, but 1 were given.
I got this script from a tutorial that was based in godot 3.something.
I’ve tried resolving this by removing the parenthesis etc, or putting the variable = PackedScene yet i get a different error every time or the script doesn’t run.
I’m new to Godot and am watching tutorials to get a feel of the engine and the language as I’m also not a very skilled programmer. Therefore i would really appreciate if anyone could help resolve this error.
Thank You!
Thanks, Hope I’m not being a bother but i tried it and the scene quits and gives an error: Cannot call “instantiate” on a null value, and shows new_ball as a null value, if its not troublesome can you give any guidance?
Well, exporting a variable creates a property in the editor, you should see a “Ball” property on the right side when you click your node with all it’s other properties.
You should drag and drop you ball scene into that slot to use it in your script. (or press load from the drop down menu and select your ball scene). By default it’s null, that’s why it doesn’t work
