    Hi,

    New to Godot and have a question relating to instantiating Pack Scenes in .NET code and then be able to use the specific type that it is. I'm playing around building a football/soccer match engine.

    In this case, I have a Pitch which manages the match engine. Then I have a "Baller" scene which represents a player. The match engine will spawn 22 of these on load.

    This is my code to instantiate a Baller:

    Vector3 pos = new Vector3(fieldCenter.X, 1.0f, fieldCenter.Z) + formation[i];
var player = BallerScene.Instantiate() as Baller;
AddChild(player);
player.Team = 1;
if (i == 0)
    player.IsGoalkeeper = true;
player.FormationPosition = pos;
player.GlobalTransform = new Transform3D(Basis.Identity, pos);
team.Add(player);

    The trouble is that player is null because it can't case the CharacterBody3D to a Baller (even though it extends from it).

    I want to be able to use the Baller type to then use the properties of Baller e.g., IsGoalkeeper.

    How do I do this in .NET?

    Thanks!

    EDIT
    I've tried adding [GlobalClass] to my Baller.cs script and while this in recognised in Godot, it doesn't allow me to cast still.

      SOLUTION: Turns out I had a hidden character in one of the comments in my Baller class. This now works as expected. Visual Studio wasn't showing this as an error but Godot identified the character and showed that the Baller.cs class wasn't being loaded as a result.
