Question
I have a battle scene and an enemy scene that gets instantiated inside the battle scene.
The enemy scene has a target marker that is hidden by default.
My goal is to make the marker pop up (show itself) whenever the player hovers over the enemy with their mouse cursor and hide itself, when the cursor exited.
Here’s enemy script:
extends Area2D
@onready var target_marker = $TargetMarker
func _on_mouse_entered():
emit_signal("mouse_entered")
target_marker.show()
func _on_mouse_exited():
emit_signal("mouse_exited")
target_marker.hide()
And here’s battle scene script:
extends Node2D
@onready var pos1 = $Position1
@onready var pos2 = $Position2
@onready var pos3 = $Position3
@onready var pos4 = $Position4
@onready var pos5 = $Position5
var wooddog_PLOAD = preload("res://scenes/characters/enemies/wooden_doggo.tscn")
var watersprite_PLOAD = preload("res://scenes/characters/enemies/water_sprite.tscn")
var mushroom_PLOAD = preload("res://scenes/characters/enemies/mushroom.tscn")
var bikini_PLOAD = preload("res://scenes/characters/enemies/bikini.tscn")
var enemy_num = [1, 2, 3, 4]
var enemies = [
wooddog_PLOAD,
wooddog_PLOAD,
wooddog_PLOAD,
wooddog_PLOAD,
wooddog_PLOAD,
watersprite_PLOAD,
watersprite_PLOAD,
watersprite_PLOAD,
mushroom_PLOAD,
mushroom_PLOAD,
mushroom_PLOAD,
bikini_PLOAD
]
var positions = [pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4]
var enemy_group = []
var pos1_taken = false
var pos2_taken = false
var pos3_taken = false
var pos4_taken = false
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
for enemy in range(enemy_num.pick_random()):
enemy_group.append(enemies.pick_random())
for enemy in enemy_group:
if enemy == wooddog_PLOAD:
var wooddog_ins = wooddog_PLOAD.instantiate()

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
pass
(I left a comment above the line where I tried to connect the signal)
What am I doing wrong?
I’ve watched tons of videos. I’ve looked in the godot docs. I’ve looked here…
…nothing
good luck!
