func connectNodes(NA):
	var newPath = Path3D
	add_child(newPath)
	for node in NA:
		newPath.Curve.add_point(node.get_global_position()) ```

#When I try to add_child(newPath), I get an error stating: 

#Invalid type in function 'add_child' in base 'Node3D (node_connector.gd)'. The Object-derived class of argument 1 (Path3D) is not a subclass of the expected argument class.

#I've never encountered this error with add_child before, what am I doing wrong?

Because you’re not creating the node, you’re trying to add the class Path3D:

func connectNodes(NA):
	# Missing the .new()
	var newPath = Path3D.new()
	add_child(newPath)
	for node in NA:
		newPath.Curve.add_point(node.get_global_position())
