extends Node
onready var gem = preload("res://Scenes/gem.tscn")
onready var gem_container = get_node("gem_container")
var screensize
var score = 0
var level = 1
func _ready():
randomize()
set_process(true)
screensize = get_viewport().size
spawn_gems(10)
func _process(delta):
if(gem_container):
if gem_container.get_child_count() == 0:
level+=1
spawn_gems(10*level)
else:
print("Gem container hasnt been loaded")
func spawn_gems(num):
for i in range(num):
var g = gem.instance()
gem_container = add_child(g)
g.set_position(Vector2(rand_range(40, screensize.x-40),
rand_range(40, screensize.y-40)))
it keeps spamming “gem_container hasnt been loaded” in the debugger.

The shortcut onready is the same as placing the variable in _ready(). That makes it a local value.
var gem = null
onready gem = preload("res://Scenes/gem.tscn")
This should work.
This is entirely incorrect. onready is equivalent to
var gem
func _ready():
gem = preload("res://Scenes/gem.tscn")
The variable is declared in the outer scope and is not local to _ready(). onready is just a shorthand to avoid having to write the two separate lines.

If the gem_container variable is null, that means that it did not get the correct node path. Your problem is in get_node("gem_container").
Is gem_container a child of the current Node? If not, you need the correct path to reach it. You can find the node’s path by right-clicking on the node in the tree and selecting “Copy Path” or dragging the node from the tree into the text editor.
