Accessing a scene's position from another scene

0 votes

Hey!
I have a player scene and i am implementing grid based movement. I want to access and change the position of the player from another scene which is a TileMap. How do i go about doing this? Also i do want the player to be a separate scene. The player is a sprite type of node.
Thanks!
