Name Problem

Question

I have a problem: I made a bullet, added as a child node, when you press space bullet is being added as a child, point is to shoot asteroids which split in half, i set asteroids to react
if area.get_name =="bullet" but then the problem is that only the first bullet is named "bullet" other ones when generated are named like @bullet@34 etc. how should I make asteroids react to every bullet, what should I do???

if area.is_in_group("bullets"):

class_name Bullet

in the top of the bullet's script and then you can do

if area is Bullet:
