Get Script "behind" Collider

onkel-elke

Hello, Good day. I have a small problem for which I can't find a solution.

In the main scene I instantiate a sheep - don't ask, long story - of the following structure: Sheep.tscn: Area2D with script, and as Childs of Area2D Sprite and CollisionShape2D.

I use RayCast2D and get the collider and the object found is the Schaf. I now want to access the script, which I cannot do because the collider is of type Area2D, so Godot tells me.

I tried collider.get_script() without success, as well as get_child().

Can you tell me how to get access to the script, i.e. its variables?

Thank you very much.

If you have the object, you basically have the script. You said the Area2d had a script. You can call a function on the script by get_collider().myFunction(), or get_collider().myVariable. You always want to check to make sure it's the object you want before you call it though.

This does not work.

It is for sure my desired object, because there is only one. And it does not work, I get an errormessage.

I will try it again, last time I used Godot was long before.

Thank you.

Now it works. That's how I knew it too.

I must have screwed something up. I searched for hours yesterday. That's weird.

Thanks for the help.
