Godot 4.2.1

Hi, I’m very new to programming and development and am wanting to release my first game to get started with game development. I wanted to start off as a stationary top-down shooter where you shoot at enemies coming towards you (no movement, only turning and shooting). I’ve been following a guide on a video making an asteroids-style game in godot and applying some of the code in that video to my own project, namely the shooting aspect. However, for some reason, nothing works and the I cannot shoot any projectiles despite the fact I am pressing the assigned button for the input. I am completely stumped and would highly appreciate a solution to this. Below are the scripts for the player, the actual projectile itself, and the game (I’m gonna have to reply with the other two scripts because I can only embed one media item in a post as a new user). Thank you.

It looks like you named you’re _process function in the player.gd script wrong. You typed _process2, while it should be _process.

I can’t name it anything else because than the name it has currently-the engine for whatever reason it labels it the same name as a previous function, that being the code that enables mouse movement.

but according to the pictures you don’t even have an assigned script in player.tscn and _process2() doesn’t do anything at all, the Input is moved to _process()

and based on your introduction, it would probably take a bit more study of godot and scripting before you want to develop a game. It’s a nice ambition, but I don’t think it’s going to work that way
