v4.6.1
I made a scene A, then attached a script to the root node of it, and gave it a method “pleasework”. I then make another scene B, instantiate scene A, then attach a script to root node of scene B. Calling `pleasework` in scene B makes Godot say that it does not exist. Why?
Can you please attach the script? It’s hard to tell what’s the issue without the code. Copy and paste the code in your reply between 3 back ticks (each on their own line!) like the following: ```
Scene A
extends RigidBody3D
class_name Character
func pleasework():
print("oh. i did work.")
var currentsprite = "idle"
var lastframe = Time.get_unix_time_from_system()
@onready var lasthealth = get_meta("Health")
# Called when the node enters tdhe scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
pass # Replace with function body.
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
if get_meta("Health") <= 0:
get_parent().queue_free()
elif get_meta("Health") < lasthealth:
lasthealth = get_meta("Health")
$BloodParticles.restart()
Scene B
func _ready() -> void:
$Character/EquipperArea.connect("area_entered",_on_area_entered)
$Character/EquipperArea.connect("area_exited",_on_area_exited)
$Character.apply_central_force(Vector3(0,0,3))
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
$Character.pleasework() #fails here
Maybe paste the exact issue and the place where it’s instantiated. Also add a has_node() check to calling pleasework() so that it’s won’t run the code of the node doesn’t exist.
Protagonist (scene B) is trying to call Character’s (scene A) pleasework from the script in the root node
Character (scene B) has the pleasework method in the script attached to rigidbody3d
You need to specify that this script is extending a Node.
I’ll admit, this error message sucks …
Just add extends Node3D as the first line of script for Scene B
my bad, i truncated scene b’s script too much. it does have extends Node3D at the start, this is the error that i get
however i can still call the default methods like $Character.apply_central_force
In the scene where the root is Protagonist, when you hover over Character in the “Scene” tab of the editor, you should see a hint telling you the type of the Node, is it correctly reading as “Character” or does Godot tell you it’s a “RigidBody3D” ?
You should also be able to see at the very top of the “Inspector” tab.
i think the field that you showed me shows the name instead,
also notice that there is no script attached to instantiated version of Character, only to the actual scene version of it
Yes you’re right, my bad
However you should see the script icon in the “Scene” tab, as on my screenshot … Removing the Node and re-linking it does not work?
a kind gentleman on discord told me that now, but your solution is the same. i just needed to remove the instantiaed scene and add it back for the script to sync again
