I'm trying to do a pickup item script, but it's not working. What happens is, when the player.weapon is null, the code works fine. When the player already has a weapon, the first time it works fine, but the next time I try to switch the weapons, the weapon.instance() returns null. What can I do to fix this?
(weapon gets a load of the weapon scene on a _ready() function)

It looks like you're queue-freeing "new" and then trying to use it.

I would copy/paste the code that's doing that, but I can't do that with code in an image.

Also, you should use "if not is_instance_valid(player.weapon)" instead of "if not player.weapon".

Also this looks like code that would have a better home in the func _input(event): function.
