Question

Trying to add an “objective” packedscene that has two child nodes, ObjectiveType and ObjectiveAmmount, into another node “Objectives” However, when instatiated the “Objective” scene the two children are null. Attached in the relevant code. Any help is appreciated.

Attached relevant code, let me know if more code/context is needed

Does your ObjectivesUI have any children? Are you sure you are loading the correct scene?

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…

I was calling the function that added children, but turns out it was actually working right, as ObjectivesUI did not have any children under remote

Turns out due to multithreading shenanigans, the function wasn’t on the main thread so add_child didn’t work. Called method on the main thread now it works fine.

I should read the debugger errors more often
