Question

just solved fixed the raycast problem by the users, but got this

@export var state_machine : charstatemachine

func _process(_delta):
	text = "state:" + state_machine.current_state.name

The error is telling you everything you need to know.

Invalid access to property or key ‘current_state’

So it could not find current_state which you reference here:

state_machine.current_state.name

Why? Well the error message tells you.

… on a base object of type ‘Nil’.

So it is telling you it can’t find ‘current_state’ on your state_machine because state_machine is not set.

“But I set it here” I hear you say.

@export var state_machine : charstatemachine

But the engine is telling you this is not set. So did you actually set it in the export var in the inspector? If so then this class may be incorrect, having typos or errors of its own and could not be loaded.

Very often this is a misspelled class name, or errors in your class, or perhaps you just forgot to actually set the export var in the inspector.

there might be a chance that you also define the “charstatemachine” but not save the updated file so the engine gives you this error. that happen with me a lot.

But if this is not the problem can you share this file code “charstatemachine”, so we can better help you with it.
