Setting sprite's frame from code

UnknownUser

Has proven impossible for me so far. Repositioning, scaling, rotating works just by looking at their Inspector property names, and using that in code, but frame, frame coords, frame anything... let me not to tell you how many possible variations and combinations i'm through at this moment... just won't work, in fact any of them prevents the compiler finishing without an error.

I've chosen the simple Sprite node type as that has a normal map option, and i just overall want a tile map (done on my own, i want total control, not interested in the built-in tile editor) created off of a 2d Array containing the specific image IDs to each tile.

Please kindly let me know if i'm doing a screamingly stupid thing anywhere, because i just started using Godot last night.

I grayed out the frame line in the code so it runs, and this is the map so far. I darkened the tiles which should change according to the 2D Array if the frame line worked.

So how do i change the frame of each instanced sprite properly?

Welcome to the forums @livinout!

Looking at the error, the console is saying that the node you are accessing in sprite[id].frame is a Node2D rather than a Sprite node, and because it is not a Sprite node it doesn't have a property called frame. What does the scene assigned to Sprites.instance look like?

Oh i didn't know a scene could be just a lonely Sprite node, i had in there a Node2D as a root node all along which has the same Position/Scale/Rotation props, but lack the Frame stuff. Bahh...
