It does run, but the variable it needs to continue down the chain never changes to true. All the relevant code: class_name squareBlock extends Sprite2D @onready var square_block: squareBlock = get_node("/root/Node2D/Blocks/squareBlock") @onready var square_block_hitbox: Area2D = $squareBlock @onready var in_play_piece: Sprite2D = get_node("/root/Node2D/inPlayPiece") @onready var next_piece: Sprite2D = get_node("/root/Node2D/nextPiece") var main = mainGame.new() var pieceName = "squareBlock" func _process(delta: float): if varStor.sq_ready == true: print("block ready") if varStor.activePieces.front() == pieceName: attachBlock(square_block, in_play_piece) elif varStor.activePieces.back() == pieceName: attachBlock(square_block, next_piece) func attachBlock(whatToAttach, attachTo): whatToAttach.position = Vector2(attachTo.position.x, attachTo.position.y) and the global variables: extends Node2D var sq_ready := false var activePieces: Array[String] = ["squareBlock", "lBlock"] func _on_start_timer_timeout(): sq_ready = true

It prints this block: /root/varStor /root/Node2D/Blocks/squareBlock/variableStorage /root/Node2D/Blocks/variableStorage /root/Node2D/variableStorage /root/Node2D/squareBlock/variableStorage
