Trying to make the bullet spawn on the ship.

Question

Heya, i'm trying to make a space invader type game but when i try to spawn the bullet it doesn't spawn where i want it to, instead it spawns in a set location, i'm trying to get it to spawn ontop of the playership.
here's my code as of now.
Game:

  extends Node2D

var BulletScene = preload("res://PlayerBullet.tscn")
onready var ship = $PlayerShip

func spawn_bullet():
  var bullet = BulletScene.instance()
  bullet.global_position = $PlayerShip.position
  add_child(bullet)

func _process(delta):
    if Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
        spawn_bullet()

What do i do?

Answer 1

place a Position 2D node on top of your ship and then in code change this:

func spawn_bullet():
  var bullet = BulletScene.instance()
  bullet.position = $Position2D.position
  add_child(bullet)
