Godot's autocomplete is a little erratic for me too sometimes. Typically, closing and reopening the script or Godot itself fixes the issue for me.

If this is a custom object, I'd guess it's related to the fact that you may be using dynamic typing in your script. For autocomplete to work, you'll have to use static typing in your code.

See this related thread:

And the docs:

Thanks a lot jgodfrey! Dynamic typing was the "problem".

Changing

var ppm_player = CPixelPerfectMovement.new(TICK_AMOUNT, Vector2(0,0))

to

var ppm_player:CPixelPerfectMovement = CPixelPerfectMovement.new(TICK_AMOUNT, Vector2(0,0))

did the trick. Now autocompletion works like a charm.

Perfect! Greetings Stefan
