An item will not move with my environment

AI_Messiah

In my game the player does rotate but it doesn't physically move. I have everything else move around the player. Since the screen isn't updated until the code is finished (or it seems that way) I can delete everything and then add them in again. I created an app with Godot to edit the map that I am using. I have arrays for the location and rotation of a Key, keyx[num], keyy[num], keyd[num] . They fit on the map. I have currentx and currenty as the location on the map. The thing is that the key does not stay where I placed it on the map I have everything located in units of 2 (like 2M). this is what I am using to place the key.

func make_key():
	var newkey = keyref.instance()
	newkey.name = "Key"
	var trx = -(currentx - keyx[currKey]) * 2
	var try = -(currenty - keyy[currKey]) * 2
	#newkey.global_transform.origin = Vector3(0, .1, -10)
	newkey.global_transform.origin = Vector3(trx, .1, try)
	newkey.scale = Vector3(.2, .2, .2)
	newkey.rotate_y(deg2rad(keyd[currKey] * 90))
	
	var matr = newkey.mesh.surface_get_material(3)
	
	matr.set_shader_param("low_dig", currKey % 36)
	matr.set_shader_param("high_dig", floor(currKey / 36))
	add_child(newkey)

I have tried flipping them over.

What I guess I could do is to physically move the player and draw things around the player.

I'm guessing that there's a rounding error causing that, but I'm not at all sure based on what you've posted. You might check and see if there are any integer operations involved.

Actually the problem is that I I kept the player in one place and tried to move everything relative to it. There was a problem from subtracting the map position from the key position. What I have done is move the player and the key stays where I placed it on the map.
