Script won't update position

Question

Hey, I'm trying to get my script to print the player's position each time it clicks but it just keeps printing the same initial position

onready var PlayerMan = get_parent().get_node("Player").position

func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed('Fire'):
    PlayerMan = get_parent().get_node("Player").position
    target_position = PlayerMan
    print(target_position)

Are you changing the Player.position in your Player's script?

All you're doing is printing the Player node's position in that code excerpt, if Player.position is not updated elsewhere, it's working as written.

You either need to use getglobalposition() if your player is a KinematicBody and you are not changing its position directly (e.g using moveandslide()) or maybe you are not moving your player at all as @timothybrentwood says.
