I have been making my first game in Godot. It is going to a strategy game, but as of now I have met a problem which I cannot overcome on my own.
Basically, I have a superclass called Unit and a class named MotorizedInfrantry which extends the Unit class. The MotorizedInfantry class is a Node2D with a Sprite2D child(named Image).
Here is the script for Unit
And here is the script for MotorizedInfantry
All I want to do is to load a texture for my sprite by doing this: $Image.texture = load(image_path)
When trying to access my Image node from my MotorizedInfantry script I get an error explaining to me that the Image node was not found. I tried to access my node with a new Image script. This time there was no error, but the
the texture did not load.
When trying to print get_parent().image_path the editor prints nothing. It's just as if there is no Sprite node at all.
How can I solve this issue? Also, I am using Linux, in case that has anything to do with the solution.
I am instantiating my MotorizedInfantry in my Main scene's _ready function.
