Signal not emit, why?

Question

Hi there! I’m learning Godot so sorry for any mistakes, I try emit signal with player to enemy player but player position is not displayed in debug window. Thanks for all help in advance.

Here is code of GameNode (main node):

extends Node

signal player_ready(player)

func _ready() -> void:
	var player = $Player
	emit_signal("player_ready", player)
	pass # Replace with function body.

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	pass

And here is enemy code (node in GameNode):

extends Node2D

func _ready() -> void:
	var game_node = get_node("/root/GameNode")
	game_node.connect("player_ready", _on_player_ready)
	pass

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	pass

func _on_player_ready(player) -> void:
	if player:
                print(player.position)
	pass

@sech1p

emit_signal("player_ready", player)

This is wrong method for Godot 4, It was for Godot 3. Try this:

player_ready.emit(player)

Thank you, however, still I don’t get any message about player position.

I used shared variables instead

Enemy:

extends Node2D

var player

func _ready() -> void:
	add_to_group("enemies")
	pass

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	print(player.position)
	pass

func set_player(p):
	player = p

GameNode:

extends Node

var player

func _ready() -> void:
	player = $Player
	if player:
		for enemy in get_children():
			if enemy.is_in_group("enemies"):
				enemy.set_player(player)
	pass

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	pass

Just so you know, your code with the signal does work. Here is what the Scene Tree looks like.
