I have a weapon node as a child of my character and I only want to inherit the position but not the character’s rotation setting the global_rotation in process is not working because the parent is animated with the AnimationPlayer node.

Updated:

Make sure AnimationPlayer is located higher in scene hierarchy, so its update happens earlier, then for nodes below.
Something like this:

scene
|- AnimationPlayer
|- YourNode
    |- WeaponNode

Some more about it: https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/basics/tree_ready_order/

# YourNode
onready var weapon : Node2D = $WeaponNode

func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
    weapon.global_rotation = 15

this works for me

thanks tried to change the AnimationPlayer node process to physics and manual but it didn’t work, and the latter I don’t know how to do that and Im working on 2D
