I'm following a tutorial on making a Feeding Frenzy clone, but the instructions on making the turn function don't seem to be working. I keep getting this error when trying to run a game and I don't know why.
#What am I doing wrong with this turn function?

Can you show me your fish scene, as well as the inspector while you have the main fish node selected?
light cosmos
Main fish node? I don't have a node named that.
potent helm
Main fish node? I don't have a node named that.
Well, whatever node you've given your fish script
light cosmos
I'm still confused on what you're asking here.
I have a fish scrpt, a EnemyFish script, and FishSpawner script, and a PlayerMovment script.

What's the fish script attached to?

What's the fish script attached to?
Looking at it, It actually isn't attached to anything. It's in it's a script folder. I'm just following the tutorial I was going by.

Is this what you mean?
Sorry for the late response btw. I got pulled away from my computer.

Is this what you mean?
No worries.
Right click on the fish script and go to "View Owners"
light cosmos
No worries.
Right click on the fish script and go to "View Owners"
Zero owners according to the popup.

What's the fish scene you got up there? You sure your fish script isn't attached to that?

The tutorial specifically said not to attatch it to any specific scene. To have it in a script folder for global scenes.

Like this?

Like this?
Yeah, like that.
Okay, so I don't know what's up with the tutorial, but your fish script is attached to your fish node. See in the inspector where it says sprite -> Assign? Click Assign, and then select the Sprite2D
Remember that @export var sprite: Sprite2D you wrote in the script? That's the variable that needed to be assigned.

I think timestamping where that export var got set up in the tutorial. They weren't very clear here for some reason. https://youtu.be/C8BRd_eDMIA?t=1923
I'm seeing anything about the inspector here or what weas changed on it if at all.
light cosmos
Oh. I saw the assign part. I applied it to both the Player and enemy fish scenes. They're rotating perfectly now.
(Though now the numbers on the enemy fish stopped appearing for some reason.)
Well now I have a new problem.
light cosmos
Do I make a new topic for that or no?
