Can't call function on inherited scene?

0 votes

I have a static body parent scene that has a script with a single function in it, a sprite, and a collision poly 2D. All my prop objects inherit from that scene.

When trying to call a function from a bodyentered signal on the player, the signal fires and finds the correct prop (I can print the correct name with body.name), but the hasmethod check fails to find the function in the parent script.

So I added a print statement to the ready function of the parent static body scene, and it doesn't run. I have no idea why.

I tried using the _init() method, and that does run (and can call the custom function directly), but the _ready function does not run at all, and I cannot call the custom function from elsewhere. It's as if the script doesn't exist after init.

Am I missing something fundamental here? I feel like after a couple of years in Godot I might be losing my mind. Why on earth does the _ready method not run?

This seems to be a bug. The system works as expected, but something must have got corrupted using my method of creating the inherited scenes. When I create a NEW inherited scene using the same methods, it works fine. However, my existing inherited scenes (which all have the same setup) don't work. Maybe because I duplicated them and changed the sprite and collision?

Either way, it's a "remake the scene" solution. No idea how to reproduce.
