Instantiating enemy, but they wont do any of the code in the script

[broken drift]

I created an enemy and a spawner for the enemy, both childs of a navigationregion3D. When i manually put in the enemy into my scene it works properly, but when i use the spawner, it becomes scaled down with no collision and it doesnt move at all. Heres my code so far:

extends Node3D
@export var tiger_scene: PackedScene
func _on_timer_timeout() -> void:
    var tiger = tiger_scene.instantiate()
    tiger.position = position
    get_parent().add_child(tiger)

Any help would be really awesome, can someone tell me what im messing up rn?

the only real thing I can think of is that the script is not referecing the correct parent to attach the new tiger to
what does the node structure look like?

wait sorry i figured it out, i was accidently using the model file instead of the scene 😭

DAMN legit the thing I was gonna ask was 'it is a .tscn right' but figured it'd be too obv LOL

good job on solving it though
