I am following Barry's Dev Hell Godot 4 CARD GAME Tutorial, on Episode 4 @ 8:40ish and receiving a error.
I am straight beginner to GameDev and Godot, I have attempted to research the error that I am receiving via google, comments on the video and the good ol ChatGPT.
Every suggestion has not worked.
Curious if someone would mind pointing out the obvious I a missing! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Wait is Card.gd for a node that gets instantiated or is it for Card Slot

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

the card.dg is a node to get instantiated as a child from what I understand, yes

hushed mountain Wait is Card.gd for a node that gets instantiated or is it for Card Slot

the Card Slot is suppose to be a "slot" for the card to be placed in and is a child of Card Manager as well.
all the code regarding the card.gd and cardslot.gd is primarily handed through the code within cardmanager.gd

#

or card slot is not a child and just utilizes code from card manager, I believe. I am sorry if I am making it confusing lol

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

I think I get it? Though where is Card.gd being run then?

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

So I am trying to call the card.tscn into existence but it is saying the connect_card_signals is not a valid Func but the Func does exist in Card Manager.gd

Can you add a print function to print the name of its parent, just want to see if it's parented correctly

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

how and where would I put that? lol sorry

#

#

right under the .get_parent().connect_card_signals(self)

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

honest rivet

In the ready function here above get parent

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

when the error comes up it takes me to this line of code

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

honest rivet

Line should be get_parent().name

#

Just put it above the line that doesn't work

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

#

like this

#

?

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

Put that in a print function

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:32 AM

#

honest rivet

Yes

#

For now comment out the none working line to get it to run

#

There's your problem

#

One of them seems to be the child of Main

#

Which doesn't have the function it's looking for

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

#

everything has been a child of the main node

#

that is incorrect?

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

honest rivet that is incorrect?

No, it's fine

#

Problem is one of the cards your instantiating is the direct child of Main

#

So instead of it being the child of Card Manager who's the child of Main they're the child of simply Main

#

In short, one of the cards had the wrong parent

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:37 AM

#

gotcha, I only have the Card.tscn. I may have made it a child off of main and not the Card Manager Node

#

is there a quick way to change that or recreate it?

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:39 AM

#

honest rivet gotcha, I only have the Card.tscn. I may have made it a child off of main and no...

For some reason an extra card is there that is a child of Main. Can you share PlayerHand.gd and CardSlot.gd

honest rivet Sep 23, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

Player Hand

#

Card Slot

#

the card manager.gd is pretty long

#

I can paste it here, if youd like

hushed mountain Sep 23, 2025, 1:41 AM

#

Sure just use proper formatting

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/
