@onready var cameraPivot = $body/Node3D
But the camera is not in that 
no it is not
is it because it happenes right after instantiate?
Show me the GameManager script
extends Node
var planetPosition = Vector3.ZERO
var planet
var map
var camera
camera script:
extends Camera3D
func _ready():
GameManager.camera = self
wait, the camera is already inside the tree? or is not added as GameManager.camera = null
no camera is inside the tree and I’m referencing it to the manager
it is added to the manager
manager is singleton
Print is clearly saying that camera is referenced it’s not null
so why you use add child again as it already in the game?
because I want to move camera to the body not to have it in the map root
the body was instantiated not the camera
Ok so make the camera as a new scene, and remove it from the tree, so in codes, add this new camera
also you can create this in only with codes like Camera3D.new()
ok here I’m instantiating them both now:
var camera = await MP.CreateMe(3)
await get_tree().process_frame
var body = await MP.CreateMe(2)
GameManager.map.add_child(body)
BUT I get null
HERE!!!<null>
tell me the create me script
extends Node
func _ready():
for n in container.size():
dictCon[container[n].entityNum] = container[n]
initialize = true
var dictCon = {}
var initialize = false
@export var container: Array[Entity]
func CreateMe(index: int):
if not initialize:
await get_tree().process_frame
if(dictCon.has(index)):
var res = dictCon[index]
if res.scene == null:
printerr(String("index: [{i}] selected Entity: [{e}] does not have a scene\n{stack}").format({i = index, e = res.entityString, stack = get_stack()}))
else:
var instance = res.scene.instantiate()
get_tree().process_frame
return instance
else:
printerr(String("wrong index: [{i}] selected Entity does not exist\n{stack}").format({i = index, stack = get_stack()}))
Why so long codes? do like this:
var camera = preload("path/to/your/camera.tscn").instantiate()
camera_pivot.add_child(camera)
camera.position = camera_pivot.position

because I want to have them scriptable (resource)
and not adding them with code over and over
just call a number and wala here it is
I’ll try that way now
Ok, now you need to know your previous mistakes:
- add_child function will not work because the camera is already in the scene
- You can do this by:
var new_camera = camera.duplicate(true)
cameraPivot.add_child(new_camera)
But do not used that, it is not correct I means it is the wrong way…

ok how do I remove the camera from scene? and move it back in with add_child?
or simply how to move it elsewhere once when I’ll want to
As I said, delete the camera node, and do like this:
var camera = Camera3D.new() #preload("path/to/your/camera.tscn").instantiate()
#edit here the camera`s properties...
camera_pivot.add_child(camera)
camera.position = camera_pivot.position

so if I sum things up
I can’t simply move to other scenes? after it’s made longer time.
or deactivate it and activate it once later and move it
it’s not only camera it’s full entities like 500 of different kinds of entities
