Question
I’m trying to set the .position of my player object and when I do it blips at the spot for a moment and goes back to falling where it was
The deathbox collider is the bottom blue box collider(teleports player):
Nodes (the deathbox is unnamed rn so its just CollisionShape2D):
Closeup with visible player:
The player blipping on screen for a frame when tp is attempted:
Code to tp player (at bottom, it comes from an on collide with body trigger on the deathbox):

Rigid bodies don’t like being teleported, you will want to avoid altering position directly wherever possible. In this case to force teleporting you will have to queue the teleport until a _integrate_forces override can handle it. Add this to your player script, then use player.queue_teleport = instead of position.
var queue_teleport: Vector2
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState2D) -> void:
if queue_teleport != Vector2.ZERO:
state.transform = Transform2D(0.0, queue_teleport)
state.linear_velocity = Vector2.ZERO # also only edit linear_velocity in _integrate_forces
queue_teleport = Vector2.ZERO

I don’t actually understand what this does or how to use it. You said to replace player.position with player.queue_teleport but I don’t understand and it also throws an error. How does this work? (_integrate_forces, → void, state)
var queue_teleport: Vector2
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState2D) -> void:
if queue_teleport != Vector2.ZERO:
state.transform = Transform2D(0.0, queue_teleport)
state.linear_velocity = Vector2.ZERO # also only edit linear_velocity in _integrate_forces
queue_teleport = Vector2.ZERO
func Cselected():
hand.play("handanim")
for i in CCon.get_child_count():
CCon.get_child(i).queue_free()
handst = false
func loadlvl(idif):
startyt = starty
endxt = endx
tdiff = difficulty
glvl()
sledge.position.y = startyt
eledge.position.x = endxt
player.queue_teleport = Vector2(-480,-starty + 300)
Is this script part of the player? Only the player (a RigidBody2D) should have the _integrate_forces function.
queue_teleport is a variable storing the teleport position, if it’s ZERO it’s assumed to be “empty” and has nothing to queue. It uses _integrate_forces’ state to change the player object during the physics thread.
Ohh I put it on the game node oops
The game node was handling tp but yeah I can send a signal to player I think
You won’t need to signal the player, that’s why your changing player.queue_teleport just like you would change player.position
So I put this in the game node where it was tping the player
func loadlvl(idif):
startyt = starty
endxt = endx
tdiff = difficulty
glvl()
sledge.position.y = startyt
eledge.position.x = endxt
player.queue_teleport(-480,-starty + 300)
SBC.visible = true
handst = true
And I put this in the player

var lessjump = 0

var queue_teleport: Vector2
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState2D) -> void:
if queue_teleport != Vector2.ZERO:
state.transform = Transform2D(0.0, queue_teleport)
state.linear_velocity = Vector2.ZERO # also only edit linear_velocity in _integrate_forces
queue_teleport = Vector2.ZERO
func _ready():
pass # Replace with function body.
func _process(delta):
isccol = raca.is_colliding() || raca2.is_colliding()
But it’s throwing and error and I bet I’m being an idiot (or this is some big complex bit like messing with the processing order directly)
It’s a variable, not a function. Use assignment, just like player.position
player.queue_teleport = Vector2(-480,-starty + 300)
Make sure to post the error message you recieve and the relevant line.
Not fixed,
The car still blips and doesnt tp, line is
player.queue_teleport = Vector2(-480,-starty + 300)
and there’s no error now though
(Code in player:)

var lessjump = 0
var lessspeed = 0

state.transform = Transform2D(0.0, queue_teleport)
state.linear_velocity = Vector2.ZERO # also only edit linear_velocity in _integrate_forces
queue_teleport = Vector2.ZERO
func _ready():
pass # Replace with function body.
func _process(delta):
isccol = raca.is_colliding() || raca2.is_colliding()
Interesting, does the _integrate_forces ever run? Could you add a print statement to test?
func _integrate_forces(state: PhysicsDirectBodyState2D) -> void:
if queue_teleport != Vector2.ZERO:
print("teleporting transform: ", queue_teleport)
state.transform = Transform2D(0.0, queue_teleport)
state.linear_velocity = Vector2.ZERO # also only edit linear_velocity in _integrate_forces
queue_teleport = Vector2.ZERO
The function runs, but the if statement only runs right at game start hmmm (I used print(“:D”) to test)
Is there any reason queue_teleport would be set to ZERO? Would you normally teleport the player to ZERO?
No the player starts at this pos
