little briar plese help i dont know what i am doing wrong

It can't find the node. make sure it exists in the path specified.

last flume Please give more information

would a picture of my code help

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:09 PM

wooden pier It can't find the node. make sure it exists in the path specified.

i tried to specifie it but there was still and eror and i dont know if i did it corectly

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:09 PM

#

you can show the code part that causing error and show the node tree

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

Ok I will

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

and is the scene global or smth ?

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:10 PM

#

I don’t know I just started learning so I am not sure

Embedding code in discord messages

Inline Code

When you surround some words with single backticks like `this`, it will be formatted as code.

Code Blocks

You can also include code blocks by surrounding the code with three backticks. If you add "swift" then you will also get basic syntax highlighting:
```swift
print("hello world")
```
Discord will then show it as a code block like this:

print("hello world")

Upload

If your code snippet is rather long, you can upload it to a text paste site. One option that supports syntax highlighting for GDScript is https://bpa.st/

You can embed code into the chat so its more readable than a screenshot.

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

So if I ‘ ‘ to my code It will help

#

In chat

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:15 PM

#

i mean just a part of code thats refering to that node and a node tree is enought probly

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:17 PM

#

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

so it cant find a $Player node

#

it is on the same scene as the code ?

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

#

is this what you ment

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

it is named player

#

without big P

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

it is so should i rename all the player with Player

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

or just put small p in the code

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

i will try that

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

instead $Player - $player

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:22 PM

#

Yeah, node names are case sensitive. You can have a player and a Player and they'll be considered two different things. Same goes with a lot of things.

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:23 PM

#

diferent eror now

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:23 PM

#

You forgot the 'n' in position

#

$StartPosition

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:24 PM

#

haveing somone else to look over my code is so helpfull thank you i will test now

#

i changed it and its still eroring

#

and the old erors are still there with the new_game and the player

queen knot Mar 19, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

Wka

#

Still having this issue?

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

welp

#

trying to resolve we all do

queen knot Mar 19, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

If I am not wrong we have been in this for 2 weeks

#

What is the node start position?

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

the issue is the node is from diffrent scene

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

try replacing it with $"../StartPosition"

queen knot Mar 19, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

full wind the issue is the node is from diffrent scene

Then reference the node

queen knot Mar 19, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

wooden pier try replacing it with `$"../StartPosition"`

If it's from a parent node

#

Or use the get_node method

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:29 PM

#

yep

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

It looks like it's being called by the player though?

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

so what should i do i should replace somthing with somthing sorry

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

get_tree().get_node("/StartPosition")

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

were do i enter that

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

Replace your $StartPosition with that exact line

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

ok thank you

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

to be clear, you need to keep the full stop and everything after it.

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

should i replace all $startpositions

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

only the $startposition

#

leave .position

#

after it

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

If you're calling it anywhere else, I'd recommend swapping it with a variable that you can store the position in.

...
startPos.position = pos```

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

i replaced $StartPosition in both main and player and it removed one of the erors but now we have this one

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

wait

#

the start()

#

doenst need to get_tree

#

you can leave $StartPosition

#

like it was before

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

ok so i should revert it

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

idk wait

wooden pier Mar 19, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

get_tree().root.get_node("/StartPosition")

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

i will try adding that

#

did i add it right

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:45 PM

#

remove / maybe

#

tottaly not sure

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:45 PM

#

i will test

#

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:46 PM

#

ok so this code ^ is from main.gd or from player.gd ?

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

this one is from main.gd

#

full window

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

alright you can rever it to $StartPosition

#

make sure you apply get_tree.... to the player.gd

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

i was adding it to both

#

so i reverted both

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

ye only player.gd would need that change

#

sory for confusion

#

like player is in diffrent scene so it needs to get_tree.....

#

so main.gd should be $startposition.... and the player.gd get_tree.....

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

so i dont need to change main but i should add get_tree().root.get_node("/StartPosition") to player

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

yes

little briar Mar 19, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

ok i will test

#

so this

#

to this

#

#

i tested this change and it erored again

#

the eror is also bringing me to new_game

#

Well I have to move locations so I won’t be able to test for a while but thank you for your help i don’t know why it’s not working well I will keep looking but if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated thank you

full wind Mar 19, 2025, 7:00 PM

#

no problem

little briar Well I have to move locations so I won’t be able to test for a while but thank y...

node /StartPosition doesn't exist, because it's under your main scene. the full path would be /root/main/StartPosition

#

but getting it that way is incredibly clunky and error-prone. don't do that.

#

this is why, in the tutorial in the docs, the main.new_game function provides $StartingPosition.position as an argument to $Player.start

#

that way, player doesn't have to know about the existence of a StartPosition node, it just needs to be told by the main script where to go

#

but going back through and comparing to the tutorial now

#

your actual problem is that you're trying to set the StartPosition's position from the player script, using the value of pos that it just got from StartPosition's position

#

this code

func start(pos):
    position = pos

is meant to set the player's own position to whatever it's given as the pos parameter

#

so when the main scene script calls

func new_game():
    score = 0
    $Player.start($StartPosition.position)

it reads the position vector from the StartPosition node, passes that vector into the start function on the Player node, which then uses that vector - now just called pos - to set its own position
