My enemy keeps disappearing when I type this code, I can't figure out why

I’m working on a code where if the bullet touches the enemy, it disappears. But when I run the game, it disappears before I even shoot the bullet, I don’t know what’s making this happen

CODE:

extends CharacterBody2D

var bullet = "res://scenes/attacks/bullet.tscn"

func _on_hitbox_body_entered(_body):
	if bullet:
		queue_free()
	else:
		pass

Your code is falling because your check inside _on_hitbox_body_entered is wrong. This if bullet will always be true so basically any body that enters this area will trigger the enemy destruction, bullet in your code is a string and any non-empty string evalutes to true.

If you want to check correctly you need to use the body parameter for this:

#In your bullet script:

# Add the node to the "bullet group"
func _ready() -> void:
	add_to_group("bullet")

#In your enemy code:
extends CharacterBody2D

var bullet = "res://scenes/attacks/bullet.tscn"

func _on_hitbox_body_entered(body):
	# Check if the body that collided is from the "bullet" group
	if body.is_in_group(body):
		queue_free()
	else:
		pass
