How to branch my TIlemap?

Johyn

Greets!

I'm makin the lakeview appear when my player enter the Area2D2 tile, with its Collisionshape2D2 and its Container/lakeview sprite. Trouble is, the Container is not under the Player/Camera2d, and thus, when the player is moving, the Container/image moves with the Tilemap, not stayin pinned in its 'UI position' with the Fog/sprite. And if i put the container under the camera2, then i'm unable to find its node when triggerin the collisionshape, even with correct path coded...

Is there a way to reach a node from another branch, that is, from my Collisionshape in Lake1 to a Container in Camera2DPlayer/Player?

You can use absolute paths to get the node. So something like this:

onready var player = get_node("/root/Root/Player/Camera2DPlayer")

Erh, sry don't get it... Tried to put it in my CollisionShape2D script to get the Container node in camera2D but that doesn't find anythin... Where should i write it?

The code should be on a collision response function, for example using the signal "area_entered" on Area2D2. Then you need to place the LakeView so it moves with the camera. In 2D I think you can just make it a child of Camera2DPlayer. Then, in "area_entered" find the LakeView node and set visible to true (you can set visible false on "area_exited"). To find the node, you just traverse the scene hierarchy like it were a folder tree in your operating system.

So it could be something like this (depending on your tree). Place this near to top of the Area2D2 code (before any function):

onready var lake_view = get_node("/root/Root/Player/Camera2DPlayer/Container/LakeView")

Then on the signal callback, do this to show the lake image:

lake_view.visible = true

You'll also need to set the visible property of the LakeView to false so it is invisible when starting.

Hope that helps.

Node not found. And yet the Control (changed from Container) and its LakeView are under Camera2DPlayer, and Area2D signals to my CollisionShape2d that code:

extends CollisionShape2D

onready var lake_view = get_node("/root/Root/Player/Camera2DPlayer/Control/Lakeview")

func _on_Area2D2_body_entered(body):
	lake_view.visible = true

Make sure the path is exact, including capitalization. I see you wrote "Lakeview" when it might be "LakeView".

Also, if that doesn't work, upload another picture of your current scene hierarchy so I can help. Thanks.

Lake_V_iew... Cheeeeers! That works perfectly. Now i can configure all of my tile and my world, by hands, thxs to you. So grateful. :)
