I’ve downloaded CameraRotation.gd and it’s empty. Just post the lines where you tried to get ball.

Since the Camera node and the ball (the RigidBody node) are siblings in the scene tree, and you want to access the ball from the script associated with the camera, this should give you a valid reference to the ball in the (now empty) CameraRotation.gd script.

extends Camera

onready var ball = get_node("../RigidBody")

Then, you can do whatever you want with the ball reference.
