Hello, I’m new to Godot and programming in general. I’ve been following this tutorial on Zenva and have put in the code exactly to make the enemy move back and forth. However, I keep on getting this error:
Invalid set index ‘x’ (on base: ‘Vector2’) with value of type ‘Nil’
This is the code that I wrote (pretty much copied but yeah…). If anyone can help me, please try to explain it in the most basic terms possible.
extends Area2D
export var speed : int = 100
export var moveDist : int = 100
onready var startX : int = position.x
onready var targetX : int = position.x + moveDist
func _process (delta):
position.x = move_to(position.x, targetX, speed * delta)
if position.x == targetX:
if targetX == startX:
targetX = position.x + moveDist
else:
targetX = startX
# moves "current" towards "to" at a rate of "step"
func move_to (current, to,step):
var new = current
# are we moving positive?
if new < to:
new += step
if new > to:
new = to
#are we moving negative?
else:
new -= step
if new < to:
new = to
return new
Try moving last 5 lines of move_to one intendation to the left. Now the function doesn’t return anything if new >= to

Thank you so much! That’s exactly what it was.
