i am try to make the player shot a projectile but if he shoot and jump later the bullet will rise with him(it because the bullet is child to player i did that becuse i can't manage to get the bullet at the same position ) here's the code:

#bullet
extends KinematicBody2D

var velocity = Vector2(0,0)
var SPEED  = 10.0

func _physics_process(delta):
	if Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
		velocity.x = SPEED
	move_and_collide(velocity)

#player 
extends KinematicBody2D

var velocity = Vector2.ZER
const SPEED = 250.0
const GRAVITY = 100.0
const JUMPFORCE = -1500.0

func _physics_process(delta):
	
	velocity.y += GRAVITY
	if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
		velocity.x = SPEED
	if Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
		velocity.x = -SPEED
	
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor():
		velocity.y = JUMPFORCE
	
	velocity = move_and_slide(velocity,Vector2.UP)
	velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x,0.0,0.3)

p.s: the end result that i want is somthing like this :https://gumboot.itch.io/soulward i am try to copy the element of movement and teleportation but if one is rigth the other break :( if could someone tell me how to write some of this game physics it would be wonderful

You want the bullet on the same layer as the player (so the player's parent object, likely the world or level or whatever you are calling it). You can set the position of the bullet to be to the player's position, plus some offset so that it appears to come from the gun.

i understand that i shoud make the bullet at the same layer i think you mean like this

but what after??

Yes, so the bullet should be spawned on the "main" Node. You can add it using "add_child()". Then set the bullet position to the player's position, plus some number that will make it appear near the end of the gun. So something like this (untested code, just for example):

var main = get_tree().get_root().get_node("main")
var player = main.get_node("player")
var bullet = Bullet.instance()
bullet.position = player.position + Vector2(10, 20) #adjust these numbers to where the gun is
main.add_child(bullet)

main.add_child(bullet)

which script i shoud write it ?? i yet to test the code but it look like the bullet will spawn infinitly i need only one that the player can send it and retracted(i want something act like this : https://gumboot.itch.io/soulward)

That code would go in your input logic (when you press the shoot button). It would be a good idea to make it a function (something like "shoot_bullet()") so that your input code doesn't get too long. If you need to throw and retract the bullet, you can use that same code (you'll just have to check that the bullet is in the players hand before calling the shoot_bullet function). A simple way to do this is to have a sprite/image of the weapon on the player (as a child of the player the whole time) and then simple hide it when shooting the real bullet. This will look like it is leaving the player's hand. Then when it returns, destroy the moving bullet (you can use remove_child() and then queue_free()) and then show the fake bullet again in the player's hand. At least that is one way that may be easiest.
