Why can't I check if collider_id is equal to a value?

I'm just wondering why this wont work if collision_info.collider_id == player_collider_id: print ("You LOOSE")

when this will if collision_info: collide_id = collision_info.collider_id if collide_id == player_collider_id: print ("You LOOSE")

Maybe it is a bug?

The only reason I can see why the first code snippet does not work but the second one does is because the second one is comparing two variables containing IDs. Maybe, for some reason, comparing the ID directly to an ID stored in a variable makes it where Godot views them differently, even if they are exactly the same. I’m not sure why this would be happening, but it is the only thing I can think of that might be causing the behavior. (Side note: Welcome to the forums!)

Thanks, it was just giving me a massive headache the other day because I kept trying to do it in one line, but the moment I split it into two it worked XD. I just started with Godot. I heard good things about it, so I thought I should give it a try. Also, on a side note, I couldn't find info online that stated that rotate will rotate the player, and I spent forever using trigonometry and look at to get my player to spin in circles.
