Issue description

(I'm new here please be nice)

I'm in the middle of a course over on GameDev.TV in particular a lesson where I need to shoot a rocket from the ship. The asset is positioned correctly in the folder as is the Transform settings for the scene and asset in the scene, however when shooting the rocket it points downwards instead.

The node is set to 0 degrees rotation as shown here:

I have found the fix for this which was to add in rotation_degrees = 270 to the rocket.gd at the bottom. So I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but definitely not what the instructor experienced in the video.

Steps to reproduce

For player.gd I was advised to add the following:

func shoot(): var rocket_scene = load("res://Scenes/rocket.tscn") var rocket_instance = rocket_scene.instantiate() add_child(rocket_instance)

And the code I have for the rocket.gd:

extends Area2D

@export var speed = 300

func _physics_process(delta): global_position.x += speed * delta `

If your rockets are children of the ship, they will move and rotate along with the ship. Instance the rockets in the parent node of the ship instead (get_parent().add_child()) to avoid this, or call set_as_top_level(true) on the rockets just before using add_child() on them (which will make them not inherit the parent's transform).

Either way, please don't ask support questions here, as this issue tracker is meant to be used for bug reports only. Use one of the other community channels instead.

Thank you, I’ll try that out. Apologies as I assumed it was a bug due to the rotation situation.
