I was following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMYv6InQgno&list=PLcZp9zrMgnmOOQXevC-2CfH67QP3mB4wv
However, I ran into a syntax issue with how they were assigning a node path through the editor and immediately reassigning the variable as the node.
I split it into two lines like this:
@export var node_path : NodePath
@onready var node = get_node(node_path)
This became a problem later on when I instantiated the scene. The children of the scene root are instantiated, but don’t have parent/child connections. _init() runs, but get_parent() will return Null. So trying to assign it in the _init() didn’t work.
The implementation used in the tutorial doesn’t rely on adding the scene to the tree prior to assigning variables and running functions. So _ready() isn’t reached right away.
When I tried “@export @onready var node = get_node(node)” I got a cyclical error even with the export assigned a node path in the editor.
I’m hoping there’s a way to recreated what they did in the tutorial with updated syntax. Any help is much appreciated. I’d rather not have to completely rewrite the implementation.
