I’ve been following UmaiPixel tutorials (on part 5) and for some reason, it gives me this error. My Godot version is 3.0, but his Godot version is 3.0.6. Is that why?

PS On line 36: var powerbeam = POWERBEAM.instance()

Just needed to change the constant preload from gd to tscn since gd means godot script
