simple fix to my spawnpoint (input issue)

Godot Version 4.3

Im making a spawnpoint for custom Item resouce, it workes fine untill i added the interaction, i suspect the problem is that the try_pick_up() runs immidietly after entering the area2d and no human is fast enough to press the button in time. any and all help would be appreciated
here is the code:
extends Node2D
@export var spawn : Item
@onready var pick_up_l: Label = $pick_up_l

func _ready() → void:
var inst = spawn.scene.instantiate()
add_child(inst)
pick_up_l.hide()
func try_pick_up(body: Node2D):
pick_up_l.show()
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“Interact”):
body.on_item_pick_up(spawn)
queue_free()
func _on_area_2d_body_entered(body: Node2D) → void:
#print(“hfdkjfd”)
if body.has_method(“on_item_pick_up”):
try_pick_up(body)
func _on_area_2d_body_exited(body: Node2D) → void:
pick_up_l.hide()

What’s the issue? What do you expect to happen vs what really happens?

Make sure to paste with formatting

Make it easier for new users to format and preview code in their posts

Posting here so to be linked for later use instead of re-typing this every time Make sure you paste scripts instead of screenshots. To properly format pasted code use three ticks ``` at the start and end of your paste like so: ``` # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void:     print("My ready function!") ``` Results in: # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void: print("My ready function!") Press the </> button or ctrl+e in the forum to create these ticks. [2024-09-02…

i solved the issue using _unhandled_input() and a bool, i would still appreciate feedback if anyone has some useful knowlege to share

new code: extends Node2D
@export var spawn : Item
@onready var pick_up_l: Label = $pick_up_l
var i_area : bool =0
var spiller : Node2D

func _ready() → void:
var inst = spawn.scene.instantiate()
add_child(inst)
pick_up_l.hide()
func _on_area_2d_body_entered(body: Node2D) → void:
if body.has_method(“on_item_pick_up”):
pick_up_l.show()
i_area = true
spiller = body
func _on_area_2d_body_exited(body: Node2D) → void:
pick_up_l.hide()
i_area = false
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) → void:
if event.is_action_pressed(“Interact”) and i_area:
spiller.on_item_pick_up(spawn)
queue_free()

sorry about the formating i will do that in the future

If you need something to wait on a particular input/signal, the “await” keyword can’t be beat. If you want something to just delay, look at tweens.

[skalldyrssuppe]

yes i thought about using await but if the player dont want to pick up the item it will be awaiting forever right?

I guess I don’t really understand what the problem was, sorry.
