Emitted signals not being received Godot 3.3.2

_Just_A_Sketch

Im working on a card game and have a signal for when a card is sacrificed (its one of the main mechanics) and it is linked up to 2 nodes, neither of which seem to receive the signal.

Here is the emitting

func _on_Click_box_input_event(_viewport, _event, _shape_idx):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("r_click") and sacrificed == false:
		emit_signal("card_sacrificed",heal_points)
		queue_free()
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("click"):
		sacrificed = false

Here is the receiving for one of the two nodes

func _on_Card_card_sacrificed(heal_points):
	health += heal_points
	print(health)

In the signal section all signals are connected properly so I dont understand the issue.

Is the signal declared in the script that is emitting it? Are you sure it is connected properly? Also, depending on how you wired it up, the function won't be called it it gets an incorrect number of arguments. For example, your function takes 1 argument, the health. But if the signal passes 0 or 2 parameters, then the function will silently fail with no error. I'd also put a print statement in the first if to make sure the emit is even being called.
