I have been following along the 3D game tutorial pretty closely, but during the section where we implement killing the player, the game suddenly crashes every time I try to run it. I have narrowed it down to the die() function, specifically queue_free() being called to delete the player. After putting in some breakpoints and stepping through, what appears to be happening is that somehow, I think the very first mob spawns right on top of the player, killing the player right away. The next iteration of _on_MobTimer_timeout() then gets a Node not found error, due to trying to spawn another mob based off a player reference that no longer exists(I haven’t implemented the stopping of the timer yet).
I’ll put my code below, but I think I need to somehow prevent the mob from touching my player node right as the game is starting. Any help with this would be appreciated, especially if there is another issue altogether that I am missing. Thank you! PS, sorry for the bad code formatting, it seems that large blocks cause issues for some reason.
Main.gd:
`extends Node
#no different than exporting a normal variable, but in this case, it allows up to assign a scene
export (PackedScene) var mob_scene
func _ready():
randomize()
func _on_MobTimer_timeout():
# Create a new instance of the Mob scene.
var mob = mob_scene.instance()
# Choose a random location on the SpawnPath.
# We store the reference to the SpawnLocation node.
var mob_spawn_location = get_node("SpawnPath/SpawnLocation")
# And give it a random offset.
mob_spawn_location.unit_offset = randf()
#finds the center of the Player node's coordinates
var player_position = $Player.transform.origin
mob.initialize(mob_spawn_location.translation, player_position)
add_child(mob)

We will call this function from the Main scene.
func initialize(start_position, player_position):
# We position the mob and turn it so that it looks at the player.
look_at_from_position(start_position, player_position, Vector3.UP)
# And rotate it randomly so it doesn’t move exactly toward the player.
rotate_y(rand_range(-PI / 4, PI / 4))
# We calculate a random speed.
var random_speed = rand_range(min_speed, max_speed)
# We calculate a forward velocity that represents the speed.
velocity = Vector3.FORWARD * random_speed
# We then rotate the vector based on the mob's Y rotation to move in the direction it's looking.

var velocity = Vector3.ZERO
#similar to _process(delta), but runs at a fixed rate(60FPS by default), as opposed to as fast as the computer can do
#as the name implies, this is best for anything involving physics, like moving bodies and collision

# In 3D, the XZ plane is the ground plane.
direction.z += 1
if Input.is_action_pressed("move_forward"):
direction.z -= 1
#the look_at() function points the body in the specified direction, needing a reference to "up"
#translation, is the local location of the body relative to its parent's coordinates, rather than the global coordinates
if direction != Vector3.ZERO:
direction = direction.normalized()
$Pivot.look_at(translation + direction, Vector3.UP)
# Ground velocity

# Moving the character
# this function makes for smoother movement if there were to be a collision.
# it takes a velocity and the up direction, and returns the leftover velocity after accounting for collisions
# in this case, it prevents the body from gaining enough momentum to clip through collisions
velocity = move_and_slide(velocity, Vector3.UP)
for index in range(get_slide_count()):
# We check every collision that occurred this frame.
var collision = get_slide_collision(index)
# If we collide with a monster...
if collision.collider.is_in_group("mob"):
var mob = collision.collider
# ...we check that we are hitting it from above.
if Vector3.UP.dot(collision.normal) > 0.1:
# If so, we squash it and bounce.
mob.squash()
velocity.y = bounce_impulse
func die():
#pass
emit_signal(“hit”)
queue_free()
func _on_MobDetector_body_entered(body):
die()
UPDATE: After some toying around, I believe the issue is the two different collision areas on the player scene. Initially, they overlapped with one another, causing the on_Mob_Detector_body_entered() function to be called right away. I separated them, and the game no longer crashes, but now the player doesn’t die when colliding with a mob.
