Help please! i still don't know why the power ups are not working

[graceful loom]

Also how would i add a system that makes the menu buttons random? i want to also add upgrades such as increased bullet count that would spawn two bullets in two diffrent directions

[vagrant jasper]

Just so I don't have to look through the code, where do you keep the power up code?

Like, in which script?

[graceful loom]

power up menu.gd

[vagrant jasper]

You seem to be going through the vboxcontainer instead of the label, is this intended?

[graceful loom]

This is the set up i have seen online for menu's

Is this what you were asking?

[vagrant jasper]

Are you doing this through a tutorial perchance?

[graceful loom]

it was a totally diffrent menu tutorial so i can't go back to it for this project

i could not find a tutorial on this power up mechanic'

[vagrant jasper]

Are you writing the code yourself for the power up menu I mean

[graceful loom]

no,they were from tuts and ai

[vagrant jasper]

Okay, thanks

So the problem here is

In the code you are accessing the wrong node

See the for loop?

For button in bla bla bla

[graceful loom]

yeah

[vagrant jasper]

It goes through this little thing until it reaches vboxcontainer

And it looks for everything inside that

But it's only detecting the label

[graceful loom]

oh damn

[vagrant jasper]

And the buttons it's supposed to detect is in the label

So to fix this you extend the path to the label

$PanelContainer/Panel/VBoxContainer/Label.get_children()

[graceful loom]

now i get this error

Invalid assignment of property or key 'pause_mode' with value of type 'int' on a base object of type 'Button'.

func _ready():
for button in $PanelContainer/Panel/VBoxContainer/Label.get_children():
if button is Button:
button.pause_mode = 2 # PROCESS mode manually set
button.pressed.connect(_on_button_pressed.bind(button.text))

[vagrant jasper]

There is the problem, does the game not let you move when this error appears? It shouldn't if it's a runtime error

[graceful loom]

whole project is gray

[vagrant jasper]

Yeah

Can you screenshot the inspector of the buttons?

Wait nevermind

Yeah do it

[vagrant jasper]

Yeah not sure what pause mode is supposed to be

Are you sure you followed the tutorial fully?

[graceful loom]

ITS WORKING!

i removed button.pause_mode = 2

and made a refrence for the fire cooldown

but now another problem..

[vagrant jasper]

Yeah?

[graceful loom]

increasing the fire rate just makes another pistor in the middle of the screen

for whatever reason

[vagrant jasper]

Pistol?

[graceful loom]

This video provides everything

all the codes and nodes

ITS FIXED!!

now this is cool

I had to reference the pistol in the player script

Thank you Felix

[vagrant jasper]

You kinda fixed this yourself, lol

[graceful loom]

Well you did point me to the fix lol

[vagrant jasper]

You're welcome then

[graceful loom]

"not sure what paused mode is" and "pistol?" made me look them up

[vagrant jasper]

It's cus you said Pistor 😭

[graceful loom]

Shhhiittt time to add a piss pistol
