[amirparsadd]

tried that, didnt work

[amirparsadd]

extends Node2D

@export var entities : Array[PackedScene] = []

@export_group("Spawning Options")
@export var delay = 5000
@export var amount = 2

@export_group("Spawning Range")
@export var range_x = 1024
@export var range_y = 1024

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
	var new_entity = entities[0].instantiate()
	get_parent().add_child(new_entity)


# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
	pass

full code

doesnt work as in not visible or no node at all ?
check Remote Tab

[amirparsadd]

yeah nothing

[zdrmlpzdrmlp]

add

await get_tree().physics_frame

the first line of _ready() func

[amirparsadd]

how is that supposed to work

[zdrmlpzdrmlp]

the node is ready but the export doesnt ready yet, hence spawned to nothing
or it’s just your parent not ready, so you spawn to nothing

read what it is physics_frame from scene tree:
