Error Calling method from signal ?

0 votes

Probably a silly mistake on my part but I can not figure out why this happens now...

emit_signal: Error calling method from signal 'attack_started': 'Sprite(Weapon.gd)'::_on_RangedWeapon_attack_started': Method not found...

On Weapon.gd I have signal attackstarted and signal attackfinished, and they are called using emit_signal...

And they are connected in RangedWeapon scene via editor. On RangedWeapon.gd which extends Weapon.gd (which extends Object.gd)...

Can the issue come from duplicating the weapon, using .duplicate() ?

Quite possible.
What error means is that object being signaled lacks method to " hear signal ". Yours name is onrangedweaponattack_started(). I guess You succesfully implemented it in script or didn't change the name of connection default method.
After duplicating it still should be in duplicated script, but maybe something went off. Try to debug this error by connecting things via code, in ready() or init().
