Signal not sending?

Question

I am trying to send a signal on contact with my player and a coin that updates the coin amount. Here is the code for the collision with the player

func onCoinareaentered(area):
if area.isingroup("player"):
hide()
emit_signal("coinget")
I connected the signal coinget to this function

func onCoincoingetn():
coins += 1
$HUD.updatecoins(coins)
It doesn't update the counter, but I tried similar code with a timer instead

func onTestTimertimeout():
coins += 1
$HUD.updatecoins(coins)

and that code worked. Any way how to make it work with the signal?

How are you connecting the signal?

---

I instanced the coin scene under my main scene then connected the signal to that main scene's script

---

Did you connect the onConinareaenteered(area) to the area_entered signal?

---

If the emit() is not working, I guess the func onCoinareaentered is not called.

---

The function is being called though, because the hide() works so I don’t know if the signal isn’t being emitted or what.

---

Well, if onConareaentered() is called, emitsignal("coinget") shouldn't be the problem. Then is probably the signal "coin_get" having a connection issue.

func onCoincoinget():
     coins += 1
     $HUD.updatecoins(coins)

you got an extra letter "n" added there, i think it's disconnecting your signal

I made a typo when typing the code I think, there isn't and n there in the actual code
here is what I'm currently using

func onCoincoinget():
coins += 1
$HUD.updatecoins(coins)
