Simple position getter not working

Question

func _fixed_process(delta):
if(get_global_pos(player).x > 1850):
  get_tree().change_scene("res://scenes/map.tscn")

This snippet of code does not run at all. i have tried putting it in func _input and func _process to no avail.

If you look at the docs for get_global_pos() you'll see it doesn't take arguments:
http://docs.godotengine.org/en/2.1/classes/class_node2d.html?highlight=get_global_pos

You call it on the node you want the position for. If player is your player node, then you would write:

if player.get_global_pos().x > 1850:

Also, note you don't need parentheses around conditions in an if statement. :)
