I have been creating this game and I have been trying to get my blocks to shift down in relation to an array called Location which has 4 vector spaces in it. I am not sure why the blocks aren’t shifting down and I would greatly appreciate some insight as to why this is happening.
var locations = [Vector2(117,78),Vector2(119,185),Vector2(121,300),Vector2(114,500)]
signal blockUpdated
var blocks = []
func startBlocks():
var blockInt1 = block.instantiate()
var blockInt2 = block.instantiate()
var blockInt3 = block.instantiate()
var blockInt4 = block.instantiate()
blockInt1.position = locations[0]
add_child(blockInt1)
blocks.append(blockInt1)
blockInt2.position = locations[1]
add_child(blockInt2)
blocks.append(blockInt2)
blockInt3.position = locations[2]
add_child(blockInt3)
blocks.append(blockInt3)
blockInt4.position = locations[3]
add_child(blockInt4)
blocks.append(blockInt4)
for i in blocks:
var label = i.get_node("MarginContainer/VBoxContainer/Label")
label.text = blockTypes[randf_range(0,blockTypes.size())]
func updateBlocks():
var blockInt = block.instantiate()
var label = blockInt.get_node("MarginContainer/VBoxContainer/Label")
label.text = blockTypes[randf_range(0,blockTypes.size())]
blockInt.z_index = 1
blocks.push_front(blockInt)
blocks.pop_back()
add_child(blockInt)
#var i = 0
var bnodes = get_tree().root.get_node("/root/ControlGame").get_children()
for k in range(0,3,1): # // loop sets new block to first positon in location
bnodes[k].position = locations[k]
blocks[0].position = locations[0]
func shiftBlocksDown():
for i in range(blocks.size() - 1): #loops through each block in blocks array except for last
var currPos = blocks[i].position
var nextPos = locations[i + 1]
var diff = nextPos - currPos #differece between current and next position
blocks[i].position = + diff #adds difference to position to shift it down
blocks[-1].position = locations[-1]
These functions are getting called in another script here:
func _on_texture_button_pressed():
if !selectable:
return
print("click")
selected = !selected
if !selected && validTile:
ControlGame.emitLock()
selectable = false
ControlGame.shiftBlocksDown()
ControlGame.updateBlocks()
Here is an image as to what the game looks like and what I want to move

A few things here look suspect:
func shiftBlocksDown():
for i in range(blocks.size() - 1): #loops through each block in blocks array except for last
var currPos = blocks[i].position
var nextPos = locations[i + 1]
var diff = nextPos - currPos #differece between current and next position
blocks[i].position = + diff #adds difference to position to shift it down
blocks[-1].position = locations[-1]
First, I assume this:
blocks[i].position = + diff
Should instead be:
blocks[i].position += diff
And, those -1 array element references on the next line should be generating errors I think. Not sure what you’re trying to do there…
