var use = false

func _process(delta):

use = false

E 0:00:01.705 add_child: Can’t add child ‘wood’ to ‘Player’, already has a parent ‘Scene’.
<Error C++> Condition “p_child->data.parent” is true.

Uhm … the error is pretty self explanatory

Trying to add a node to the scenetree while its already there is a big no no

Possible solutions

#remove then re-add
var node = self
get_parent().remove_child(node)
player.add_child(node)

#create doppelganger
player.add_child(self.duplicate())

Thank you very much, it really works!
