left click input is a place holder till I make a timer thing

Question

Ask your question here! Try to give as many detailss possible.

I’m trying to make a spawner for my enemy(left click input is a place holder until I can figure out

how to make a timer thing

extends Marker2D

const circle = preload("res://scenes/circle.tscn")

@onready var muzzle: Marker2D = $Marker2D
 
 
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Left click"):
		var circle_instance = circle.instantiate()
		get_tree().root.add_child(circle_instance)
		circle_instance.local_position = muzzle.local_position
		circle_instance.rotation = rotation

It looks like muzzle is the variable that has null instead of the Marker2D node. You should double check the node path for it.

What is the error? Is your target null? Typically you should not use back paths (ones starting with $"../) You may have better luck using an @export variable instead of @onready
