Hi, I'm having a problem "Invalid set index 'velocity' (on base: 'CharacterBody3D') with value of type 'null instance'." when trying to set the velocity of my fireball instance, I get the error above when trying to use it and the game crashes.
My code:
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("skill"):
var instance = fireballskill.instantiate()
get_parent().add_child(instance)
instance.global_position = fireballposition
var direction = -camera.global_transform.basis.z
direction.y = 0
direction = direction.normalized()
instance.velocity = move_and_collide(direction * delta)
Error when setting velocity of an instance
nekohii it might aid readers to format the code here to clearly demonstrate the scope of instance.
nekohii That usually means that instance is null.
Also this instance.velocity = move_and_collide(direction * delta) is very likely wrong as move_and_collide() doesn't return a velocity but a KinematicCollision2D object.

Toxe you got it, I think. It’s calling the setter with a null value (because there’s no collision)
I've got it by changing the body type to rigid body and used apply_force thanks for replies
