I’m setting up the player system similar to Tekken 7 where the player can choose sides. I want to transfer this info

PlayerSelectScript.gd

    extends Sprite

# Object Array
var characters = []          # Array to store all the characters the player can select

# Integer
var currentSelected = 0      # Spot of the cursor within the characters[]
var currentColumnSpot = 0    # Spot of the cursor based on the column
var currentRowSpot = 0       # Spot of the cursor based on the row



# Exports 
export (Texture) var player1Text    # Cursor Texture for when Player 1 is making a decision    
export (Texture) var player2Text    # Cursor Texture for when Player 2 is making a decision

func _ready():
# Get all of the characters stored within the group "Characters" and place them in the Array characters
	for nameOfBoxer in get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("characters"):
		boxers.append(nameOfcharacter)
#	print(characters)
	texture = player1Text
	
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = $Spatial
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo = $Spatial2
	

# This whole _process(delta) function is used to allow scrolling through all the characters
func _process(delta):
	if(Global.playerOne = CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne):
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_up") && current_character>1):
			#calc the angle to rotate
			target_rotation = target_rotation +  Vector3(0,90,0)
			current_character-=1
		#if you press right and is the last character to the right...
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_down") && current_character<max_characters):
			#calc the angle to rotate
			target_rotation = target_rotation - Vector3(0,90,0)
			current_character+=1
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_right")):
			Global.playerOne = null

	if(Global.playerOne = CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo):
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_up") && current_character>1):
			#calc the angle to rotate
			target_rotation = target_rotation +  Vector3(0,90,0)
			current_character-=1
		#if you press right and is the last character to the right...
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_down") && current_character<max_characters):

			Global.playerOne = CharacterSelectionManager.currentSide(CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo)
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_left")):
			Global.playerOne = CharacterSelectionManager.currentSide(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne)

	if(Global.playerTwo = null):
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_right")):
			Global.playerTwo = CharacterSelectionManager.currentSide(CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo)
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_left")):
			Global.playerTwo = CharacterSelectionManager.currentSide(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne)
	if(Global.playerTwo = CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne):
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_up") && current_character>1):
			#calc the angle to rotate
			target_rotation = target_rotation +  Vector3(0,90,0)

		#if you press right and is the last character to the right...
		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_down") && current_character<max_characters):

		if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_left")):

# If a selection is made send it to the Signleton CharacterSelectionManager.gd to store that value
	if(Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept")):
#		print(characters[currentSelected].name)
#		CharacterSelectionManager.player1Character = characters[currentSelected].name
		
			CharacterSelectionManager.currentSide selected
		
			CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = CharacterSelectionManager.selectableCharacters[characters[currentSelected].name]
			CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo = CharacterSelectionManager.selectableCharacters[characters[currentSelected].name]
			CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwoSelected = currentSelected
			CharacterSelectionManager.characterOneSelected = currentSelected
			get_tree().change_scene("res://Assets/Scenes/Game.tscn")

To this

GameScript.gd

extends Node2D

onready var characterOnepos = $Player1Pos
onready var characterTwopos = $Player2Pos



func _ready():
#	print(CharacterSelectionManager.player1Character)
	SpawnChosenCharacters()

# At the start of the game the chosen characters need to be spawned in and also receive an offset to eachother
func SpawnChosenCharacters():
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.instance()        # What character player 1 has chosen to be 
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_name(str(get_tree().get_network_unique_id()))
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_network_master(get_tree().get_network_unique_id())
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.global_transform = characterOnepos.global_transform
	add_child(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne)
	
	if(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = null):
		CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.aiScript)    # Set the right script on to the AI (opponent)
	else:
		CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.playerScript)  # Set the right script on to the player
	
	
	call_deferred("add_child", characterOne)
	
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo = CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.instance()    # What character player 2 has chosen to be
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.set_name(str(Globals.player2id))
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.set_network_master(Globals.player2id)
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.global_transform = hostBoxerpos.global_transform
	add_child(CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo)
	
	if(CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo = null):
		CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.aiScript)    # Set the right script on to the AI (opponent)
	else:
		CharacterSelectionManager.characterTwo.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.playerScript)  # Set the right script on to the player
	

	
	call_deferred("add_child", characterTwo)

I keep having unexpected assign error on this code

if(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = null):
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.aiScript)    # Set the right script on to the AI (opponent)
else:
	CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne.set_script(CharacterSelectionManager.playerScript)  # Set the right script on to the player

I haven’t looked at the details of your code, but the reported unexpected assign error is likely coming from this line of code:

if(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne = null):

You need a double-equals there. So, this…

if(CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne == null):

Or, even simpler…

if !CharacterSelectionManager.characterOne:
