visible notifier causing weird behavior in 4.3

samuraidan

this is in godot 4.3 using the VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D specifically.

this is the entirety of my relevant code:

@onready var start_pos = get_parent().position
func _on_screen_notif_screen_exited():
	get_parent().position = start_pos

for some reason when the signal goes off and the ball teleports back, it gets stuck in place and starts flickering back and forth between "true" and "false" for being on screen. this is so simple that I really can't see why it doesn't work on my own.

samuraidan Post the scene hierarchy and signal connections.

the only signal connection is the notifier (screen_notif) ~~to itself~~ I mean to the script, not itself

samuraidan Still not enough information. You haven't shown the script that moves the pinball and we don't know if notifier's rect has been properly defined. Maybe best to post a minimal reproduction project.

samuraidan

xyz the script that moves the pinball is the rigidbody2D script

this is the visibility rectangle

looks set up correctly to me, at least.

samuraidan Rigid body position is not supposed to be set directly via script in the midst of simulation. Doing so may cause strange behavior. Hard to debug without inspecting the whole thing. Post the mrp.

this was the key piece of info I needed, changing it to
get_parent().global_transform.origin = start_pos
made it start working correctly. thank you!
