Help Needed, Code not doing the Thing

[versed bluff]

I'm currently using Kaan Alpar's "How to Make Asteroids" video as a guide, and so far things have been going great! However, when I got around 18 minutes in with a laser's movement, the code stopped being nice with me. I'm quickly learning how to hate. I've gone as far as copying in the code word for word and it's still failing, the idea is to get the laser moving upward and it's staying static right now.

On the right is a shot of the working code for reference, can someone help me?

first, is the code attached to the node?

second, does it have any visuals?

[versed bluff]

I assume it's attached to the node, I don't quite know how to check but I made it using the button attached to the laser node

[oblique patio]

this icon

tells the node has a script attached to it

and in the inspetor you can see which script

or if you click the icon it will open the script

[versed bluff]

ah.

well that would be the problem 🐦‍⬛

[oblique patio]

wait

open the scene

I am not sure it shows the script icons for scenes

[versed bluff]

no it does, I dragged the script onto the laser and the scroll appeared

[oblique patio]

yeah, it does

[versed bluff]

and the instant I ran the code it just worked

[oblique patio]

so that is the issue

cool

[versed bluff]

the first of many stupid errors, thank you very much stranger

[oblique patio]

I hope that is all

no problem

it happens more than you think

that is why it was the first question I asked

[versed bluff]

thank god it's not just a me problem then rofl

back to the grind 💻
