Hi. So I got started with the Godot tutorial dodge the creeps. The player scene works as a standalone. I’ve now added Main, HUD, and Mob scenes and for some reason it crashes after I press start button. The player sprite appears then freeze: debugger reads: Invalid call. Nonexistent function ‘instance’ in base ‘Nil’. The line in Main script reading var mob = Mob.instance() is highlighted. Yes the I in instance is in lowercase. any ideas?
Mob is not set (that what debbugger is saying) show your code otherwise it will be hard to find solution
It appears you didn’t assign a value to Mob. To do this, click on the Main scene and you’ll see a “Mob” property in the Inspector. Drag the Mob.tscn file from the FileSystem dock and drop it into that property.
Nice one, and suprisingly thats the only mistake I made

Same in 2021. I could swear I’d already added Mob.tscn to the property in Main, specifically because I had so much (dumbass) trouble figuring out which node had the property in the first place, but I just checked because of this post and lo and behold… no assignment.
