Godot Version
4.3
Question
This is my first time posting on the forums, however I am not completely inexperienced with godot and have been using it for a while (like a year on and off). I am not very aware of most technical and complicated programming things though so please bear with me if I am missing something obvious here.
I have followed this tutorial and have been unable to get any responses in the comment section regarding this issue after about a month of nobody responding, so I figured the forums would be of more help. I have gone over the video many times making sure that everything is as it should be and I see no issue.
The custom function_resource function is having the issue where it is unable to get the node with the get_node function even though it is in the scene tree and crashing the game after running. I have scoured the deepest darkest depths of the video’s comment section and nobody else seems to have this issue.
Here is the function that is being a problem:
func _function_resource(i: DialogueFunction) -> void:
var target_node = get_node(i.target_path)
if target_node.has_method(i.function_name):
if i.function_arguments.size() == 0:
target_node.call(i.function_name)
else:
target_node.callv(i.function_name, i.function_arguments)
if i.wait_for_signal_to_continue:
var signal_name = i.wait_for_signal_to_continue
if target_node.has_signal(signal_name):
var signal_state = { "done": false }
var callable = func(_args): signal_state.done = true
target_node.connect(signal_name, callable, CONNECT_ONE_SHOT)
while not signal_state.done:
await get_tree().process_frame
current_dialogue_item += 1
next_item = true
In the DialogueFunction resource target_path is declared to be a NodePath. I have printed out the target_path before the line that crashes the game and it is the correct path for the node, but for some reason it doesn’t work in the get_node function.
The path for the node I am trying to get is “y sorted things/DuckKnight/AnimationPlayer”
This is the error I am getting that is causing the game to crash:
Here is what my scene tree looks like:
the node with the script that has the function_resource function is instantiated as a child of the canvas layer node
Really hoping that this isn’t just me being stupid or overlooking something,
thanks for taking the time to hear my plea for help.
