  • I have error : nonexistent function 'get_cellv' in base 'TileMap' in godot 4

Hello everyone,

I am new to GODOT and trying to create a 2d tower defense game in Godot4 by watching some YouTube vdos.

This is my code:
extends Node2D

#create global variables
var map_node

var build_mode = false
var build_valid = false
var build_location
var build_type

#create functions
func _ready():
map_node = get_node("Map1") ## Turn this into variable based on selected map

for i in get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("build_buttons"):
	var button_name = i.get_name()
	i.connect("pressed", Callable(self, "initiate_build_mode").bind(button_name))

func _process(delta):
if build_mode:
update_tower_preview()

func _unhandled_input(event):
pass

func initiate_build_mode(tower_type: String) -> void:
build_type = tower_type + "T1"
build_mode = true
get_node("UI").set_tower_preview(build_type, get_global_mouse_position())

func update_tower_preview():

var mouse_position = get_global_mouse_position()
var current_tile = map_node.get_node("TowerExclusion").local_to_map(mouse_position)
var tile_position = map_node.get_node("TowerExclusion").map_to_local(current_tile)


#check valid build location
if map_node.get_node("TowerExclusion").get_cellv(current_tile) == -1:
	get_node("UI").update_tower_preview(tile_position, "ad54ff3c")
	build_valid = true
	build_location = tile_position
else:
	get_node("UI").update_tower_preview(tile_position, "adff4545")
	build_valid = false

func cancel_build_mode():
pass

func verify_and_build():
pass

When I run the code, menu page is fine. I can click start game. But when I click at the turret button, the game stop and show error like this :
Invalid call. nonexistent function 'get_cellv' in base 'TileMap'

Can anyone tell me what should I use instead of 'get_cellv'? Thank you.

    gencodetutorial Use tutorials that are for the exact engine versions you're using. get_cellv is Godot 3 function and you're trying to use it in Godot 4.
