I’m developing a game similar to Loop Hero, and I’m encountering an issue with my Godot script. The map generation works perfectly, and the campfire and paths are being generated randomly as expected. However, the problem arises when trying to spawn the character at the campfire position. Here is the script I’m using:
func find_campfire_and_spawn_player():
print("Starting find_campfire_and_spawn_player")
for x in range(grid_width):
for y in range(grid_height):
print("Checking cell at: ", x, y)
var cell_id = campfire_tilemap.get_cell_source_id(Vector2i(x, y), 0)
print("Cell ID at ", x, y, ": ", cell_id)
if cell_id == CAMPFIRE_TILE_ID:
var campfire_position = campfire_tilemap.map_to_world(Vector2i(x, y))
print("Campfire position found at: ", campfire_position)
var player_instance = PlayerScene.instantiate()
player_instance.position = campfire_position
add_child(player_instance)
print("Player spawned at campfire position: ", campfire_position)
return
print("Campfire tile not found.")
The game sometimes crashes when the script tries to spawn the character. I’ve tried different variations such as using get_cell but nothing seems to work. Could anyone help me troubleshoot this or provide some insights on what might be going wrong?
There’s too little information here. What do you mean by crash? It just closes your Godot game and returns to the desktop? Is there any error?
What is the script attached to? When add_child is called, where is it added to? Are you calling this from the main thread?
Your function looks fine. I can see an issue where something bad happens when the player is not spawned if the campfire tile is not found but that’s it.
ok so i will try to send you the code with the function ready and this function. this is currently a modified version, but anyway, after the map is generated for me, which is randomly generated and works flawlessly, the function find campfire and spawn player, so at that moment when I start the project F5, the game crashes as if it freezes
