I have a player scene and a world scene however, when I shoot bullets in the player scene they spawn in their intended destination, when I shoot in the world scene they spawn in the bottom right. how do I fix this?
here is the code for the player(the only script I’ve made so far):
extends KinematicBody2D
export (int) var speed = 200
var velocity = Vector2()
const bullet_path = preload("res://bullet.tscn")
func get_input():
look_at(get_global_mouse_position())
velocity = Vector2()
if Input.is_action_pressed('down'):
velocity = Vector2(-speed, 0).rotated(rotation)
if Input.is_action_pressed('up'):
velocity = Vector2(speed, 0).rotated(rotation)
func _physics_process(delta):
get_input()
move_and_slide(velocity)
func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_shoot"):
shoot()
func shoot():
var bullet = bullet_path.instance()
get_parent().add_child(bullet)
bullet.position = get_node("Position2D").get_global_position()
bullet.velocity = get_global_mouse_position() - bullet.position
Edited to fix forum code formatting.

To make sure your scene structure is clear, I assume it’d look like this (after shooting a few bullets). Is that correct?
World
Player <-- posted script is here
Position2D
Bullet
Bullet
Bullet
Also, is your World scene the top-level node in the game?

Further, I assume the problem has to be a difference in offsets between position and global_position here (though it’s not clear to me why that’s the case, which is why I asked about your scene structure).
bullet.position = get_node("Position2D").get_global_position()
Does this fix the problem?
bullet.global_position = $Position2D.global_position
(which is essentially a simplified version of your code, only assigning to bullet.global_position)

i had this version in the beginning which is where i found the bug so i looked online and the closest solution was to switch it to what i have now

Just add a “node” node to your scene and spawn your bullets there. This way it wont get affected by any parents. like
$node.add_child(bullet)
bullet.velocity = get_global_mouse_position() - bullet.global_position
