Why does my enemy shoot at a block instead of the player

GONE

I want to add an enemy that shoots at the player. The problem is that it shoots at this specific block that breaks when the player touches him.

here is the snake code

extends KinematicBody2D

onready var BULLET_SCENE = preload("res://bullet.tscn")

var player = null


func fire():
	var bullet = BULLET_SCENE.instance()
	bullet.position = get_global_position()
	bullet.player = player
	get_parent().add_child(bullet)
	$Timer.set_wait_time(1)

func _on_Area2D_body_entered(body):
	if body != self:
		player = body

func _on_Area2D_body_exited(body):
	player = null

func _on_Timer_timeout():
	if player != null:
		fire()

here the block

extends Area2D

func _physics_process(_delta):
	var bodies = get_overlapping_bodies()
	for body in bodies:
		if is_instance_valid(body):
			if body.name ==  "Player":
				$AnimationPlayer.play("destroyed")
				yield($AnimationPlayer, "animation_finished")
				queue_free()

P.S. I don't think it is the layer and mask. For the snake, it only recognises the player and for the block, it only recognises the player.

How are you moving the bullet? I don't see that in your code.

Sorry, I forgot to send my bullet code. I will do that later.

here is the bullet code

extends Area2D

var move = Vector2.ZERO
var look_direction = Vector2.ZERO
var player = null
var speed = 300

func _ready():
	look_direction = (player.position - global_position).normalized()
	
func _physics_process(delta):
	position += look_direction * speed * delta

func _on_bullet_body_entered(body):
	if  body.get("TYPE") == "Player":
		get_tree().reload_current_scene()
	else:
		queue_free()

This line looks suspect:

look_direction = (player.position - global_position).normalized()

In general, you find bugs when you are combining local and global positions. I always use local positions, but if you want to use global positions (which is valid, I just don't like them) then you always have to use global positions in all calculations. You can't mix them.
