Godot Version
4.2.1
Question
I’m building a grid-based farming game in Godot where the player selects a tool (seed, water, till, harvest), taps a tile, and an avatar moves to the tile before the action executes. The problem is: after the avatar reaches the tile, the correct action does not consistently execute. Tools appear to be selected properly before movement, but once the avatar arrives and run_pending_action() is called, nothing happens — no planting, watering, or tilling. If I remove the avatar movement delay and execute actions immediately on click, everything works as expected. I suspect the issue lies in how or when the tool and crop are stored, or how run_pending_action() is triggered, but haven’t been able to resolve it. I’m using Godot 4.2.1.
