Invalid cast when using [Export]

Question

I’m getting “true” printed in the console with the following setup; meaning that the CharacterBody3D was never referenced correctly.

I have a player.tscn with a PlayerMovement script on the player.

public partial class PlayerMovement : Node
{
    [[Export] private CharacterBody3D _body;

    public void ApplyVelocity(Vector3 direction, double delta)
    {
        // Prints true
        GB.Print(_body == null);
    }
}

This is the PlayerMovement node setup, clearly referencing the body

I also have a main.tscn with the mentioned player.tscn as subscene. This is the main player node with a Player.cs attached to it.

[[Export] private CharacterBody3D _body;

extra ‘[’?
[Export] private CharacterBody3D _body;

Heyo, the issue was that my deriving class didn’t extend the deepest class that it was attached to. I wasn’t aware that in Godot attached scripts need to extend classes of the nodes they are attached to.

Thanks for the feedback
