Question

I am following a tutorial by Coco Code on how to make settings for a game. I always end up getting this same error message. I am very new to this, so any advice would be appreciated!

Here is my code
extends Control

@onready var main_buttons: VBoxContainer = $MainButtons
@onready var options: Panel = $Options

Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.

func _ready() → void:
pass # Replace with function body.

func _process(delta: float) → void:
pass

func _ready(): ->void
main_buttons.visible=true
options.visible=false

func _on_button_pressed() → void:
pass # Replace with function body.

func _on_Start_pressed() → void:
get_tree().change_scene_to_file(“res://Fighting UI.tscn”)

func _on_Settings_2_pressed() → void:
pass # Replace with function body.
main_buttons.visible=false
options.visible=true

func _on_Exit_3_pressed() → void:
get_tree().quit()

You probably have indented a function too much, it’s impossible for us to tell though because your code paste is not formatted properly

Posting here so to be linked for later use instead of re-typing this every time Make sure you paste scripts instead of screenshots. To properly format pasted code use three ticks ``` at the start and end of your paste like so: ``` # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void:     print("My ready function!") ``` Results in: # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void: print("My ready function!") Press the </> button or ctrl+e in the forum to create these ticks. [2024-09-02…

Through the power of digging into discourse’s raw format I can tell you’ve indented func _ready too much, but it already exists anyways, so you should move your code to the ready function that works.

func _ready() -> void:
	main_buttons.visible=true
	options.visible=false

Thanks for the tip regarding my code representation.

Here is my updated code

extends Control

@onready var main_buttons: VBoxContainer = $MainButtons
@onready var options: Panel = $Options

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
	pass # Replace with function body.



func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	pass
	
	func _ready(): ->void
	main_buttons.visible=true
	options.visible=false

It works! Thank you so much, you have no idea how long it took to actually get some good advice!
