		var player = PLAYER.instance()
		get_node("YSort").add_child(player)
		player.set_pos(100,100)

Im trying to add the player scene to another world but the game crashes and shows the following error message:

“Invalid call. Nonexistent function ‘set_pos’ in base ‘KinematicBody2D (Player.gd)’.”

The scene loads if I remove the last line of code but my goal is to set the player.tscn’s location to a certain coordinate on the screen, but the game crashes. I tried to make a function set_pos which takes in 2 variables(x, y) but the error message still persists. How can I go about this?

There are a few problems in your attempt.

First, there isn’t a set_pos function. It’s called set_position. And, it doesn’t accept 2 arguments. Instead, it takes a single Vector2 object.

So, this should work:

player.set_position(Vector2(100, 100))

Or, even easier, just set the position property directly:

player.position = Vector2(100, 100)

It still doesn’t work. I’ll explain how I set it up again.
Screenshot

The Player.tscn is a child of both the World(1&2), and the Portal Script with the code below is the Script of the Parent Nodes of World1 & 2.

extends Node2D

onready var player = preload("res://Player/Player.tscn").instance()

func _on_ToRoom2_body_entered(body):
         if body.name == "Player":
           SceneChanger.change_scene("res://Room2/World2.scn")
	       player.set_position(Vector2(100, 100))
 func _on_ToRoom1_body_entered(body):
         if body.name == "Player":
           SceneChanger.change_scene("res://Room1/World1.scn")
	       player.set_position(Vector2(50, 50))

Now, why doesn’t the player’s position update? Is it updating in the previous scene?
Sorry for the late reply.
