Can't change the transform of an instance

Question

I am trying to make a mirror reflect the laser that it collides with. I have managed to instantiate a new laser scene when it collides with a mirror but I can’t change the transform of this new instantiated scene. I straight up can’t access the transform property. The laser i have is a separate scene and the instantiating script is also attached to the parent node of this laser scene. I am using PackedScene. If what I am doing is wrong then what should I be doing instead.

if(collided_object is Node node)
{
if(node.IsInGroup(“Mirrors”) && laserReflected == false)
{
laserReflected = true;
var scene = GD.Load(“res://Laser.tscn”);
Node instance = scene.Instantiate();
AddChild(instance);
}
}

This is the code. If you need more information please let me know.
Thank you all in advance!

but I can’t change the transform of this new instantiated scene

for this, i dont see your code actually alter the transform?

[rodynos]

When I try to, I get this error:

“‘Node’ does not contain a definition for ‘Transform’ and no accessible extension method ‘Transform’ accepting a first argument of type ‘Node’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)”

[zdrmlpzdrmlp]

is this 3d node?

[rodynos]

Just Node. It is not 2D or 3D

@rodynos

Node instance = scene.Instantiate();

You have to pass type Node2D, becouse default is Node.

try this
Node2D instance = scene.Instantiate<Node2D>();

I was working with a 3D game but it is the same thing. Thank you.
