how to fix the error :invalid.call. nonexistent function "instance" in base"nil"

Question

Hello everyone,
When encoding this tape:
var newplatform = sceneplatform.instance() as StaticBody2D

an error appears:

invalid.call. nonexistent function "instance" in base"nil"

how to fix the error??

Answer 1

This error is telling you that the variable you're calling instance() on is null. Where are you setting the value of scene_platform?

i drag the tscn scene into the field:
Script Variables:
scene_platform [nul]

it is preserved, but the value
scene_platform
in
members
equal to [null]

yes, I have a saved tscn scene, and no, it is not instantiated anywhere else
after restarting the game, the same problem appears and the field-Script Variables:
scene_platform- becomes empty

I feel like I'm missing something in your description. Words are failing us here.

If you zip up your project and send it to me I'd be happy to look at it and see what's going on.

That or you can post it on a filesharing site.
