Global_Position (On base: nil)

[serene kraken]

This is weird, and I have no idea why it's happening. But in short, every node2d should have this, yes? Why is it doing a nil when it shouldnt.

[unreal dew]

It to me seems like it’s the target node that is causing the issue

Are you sure target is a valid node?

[serene kraken]

Heads up, I am stoned so please be patient.

Well.

It's a node_2d

[unreal dew]

Did you print the target?

[serene kraken]

mmm. good idead.

I Anchor2d:<Area2D#25702696163>, will follow <null>

Yeah, looks like something aint right

Target point is my target

Which is just a node 2d with a colored rectangle for testing visual

Maybe I should manually (as in hard code temporrallrly) get it

I did it manually, it's still null.

The weird thing is, it worked before I make the Anchor2d a scene

but I might of changed more than just that. But regardless, this code is in Target Trigger not in the anchor

[unreal dew]

Do you set the target variable anywhere, because in the screen shot I only see point target and cam anchor

[serene kraken]

extends Area2D
@export var target: Node2D
@export var player: CharacterBody2D
@export var speed = int()
@export var Freeze_Cam = false
@export var lock_X = false
@export var lock_Y = false
var window_size = get_viewport_rect().size
@onready var cam = $Camera
const Accel = 40

##Math shit


var distance_threashold = 60
var target_pos = Vector2()
@onready var distance = global_position.distance_to(target_pos)

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
    print("I ",self,", will follow ", target)
    pass # Replace with function body.

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.

# Un commented for ease of viewing
func _physics_process(delta):
    target_pos = target.position
    var mod_speed = speed + distance * delta * Accel
    var camera_speed 
    if distance > distance_threashold:
        camera_speed = 20 + mod_speed * Maths.cubic(distance, 0.5,-2,3,1)
        print("Balls")
    
    print(distance)
    #vind pos
    #dist
    #MOVE MOVE MOVE
    if !Freeze_Cam:
        position = position.move_toward(target_pos, mod_speed * delta)
    pass

You never set target to an actual node

Only say that it should be a Node2D

But don’t give it a node

[serene kraken]

I gave it a node here.

Is that not enough, do I need a ini value?

[unreal dew]

? Is the point target the same variable as target?

[serene kraken]

Wait a second

yeah it should be.

[unreal dew]

But then why do they have different names

That shouldn’t be the case

[serene kraken]

OH MY GOSH

I just realized

I never set it in the achor after making it a sence

Boy, do I got egg on my face.

Yeah, again, stoned, lol

Thanks for your time though

[unreal dew]

Lol

[serene kraken]

Would you like a thanks in my credits?

[unreal dew]

Nope

Its all good
