I Don't Get This Error

OverlordMikey

I'm getting a weird error for this practice game I'm making... which is odd because I just started and the only thing really in the project is a tilemap. I know what causes it to pop up. If I'm on the tilemap and then I click on another scene the error pops up. Any idea what's happening?

OverlordMikey What is the error? I don't know if it is just my computer not allowing me to see it, but I don't see it.

OverlordMikey Could it be that the @TileDataDefaultEditor@19267 node is already in the scene tree as a child to another node, and you are trying to add the same node again as a child to another node?

OverlordMikey

ArDanZ11 it's in the picture, but give me a bit and I'll copy the text

edit: edited original post to contain code

ArDanZ11

OverlordMikey Ok, what is your Node tree setup? If you can, please share screenshots.

OverlordMikey

This is probably being caused by something really obvious I'm forgetting about.

kuligs2

OverlordMikey the error is in different scene, in a scene with vboxconainer..

OverlordMikey

kuligs2 The problem is that scene doesn't exist. There are only two other scenes and they just don't.

MikeCL Nope, I have no idea how that could be.

OverlordMikey What version of Godot are you using? you might want to pack the game up into a zip file and upload it to the forums so we can see what is going one.

OverlordMikey

ArDanZ11 4.6.

OverlordMikey 4.6.

You should provide the full version, for example, 4.6.2-stable.

kuligs2

OverlordMikey no errors on my machine...

Try deleting .godot dir and open the project again..

OverlordMikey

DaveTheCoder honestly it's just the latest version - I use it through Steam to keep up to date.

kuligs2

OverlordMikey bad idea... very bad idea.. You could be working on a project for year and then they change godot version that breaks your project.. are you willing to fix your project every time someone decides that the feature that worked yesterday is not needed anymore today?

i highly suggest godots https://github.com/MakovWait/godots
You can manage godot versions from one panel. download/bind editors to each project.

OverlordMikey

kuligs2 I didn't even know this was a thing. Thank you so much, this will be much safer to use.

kuligs2 Still happening. It appears to happen if yer on the TileMapLayer when you switch to another scene. If you haven't tried that already - try it. I'm curious if it happens to other people.

ArDanZ11

kuligs2 None on mine either, I am using Godot 4.4 stable though.

kuligs2

OverlordMikey yep, can be reproducible, now need to find out why it happens
EDIT:

Try resetting tile set, not sure how you set it up at first, but creating a new one seems to resolve these errors

OverlordMikey

kuligs2 Nope, if you draw the tiles and repeat the process as soon as you move to another scene it starts back up. I wonder if this happens to every project in this update and it's not just my project?

kuligs2

OverlordMikey try to create new project and test.. try to use different pictures

OverlordMikey

kuligs2 New discovery. It doesn't happen until after the scene containing the tilemap is saved. New pictures don't matter nor creating a new project. I'm not sure if I should be worried about proceeding with the project until this is fixed. (I'm gonna see if it happens on earlier versions in the mean time, keep ya'all updated)

EDIT: It appears to be something about 4.6 in general as the problem only stopped once I reached 4.5.2 which does not have this problem.
