Camera breaks when I reload the scene

[MoogieOuttaMyDepth]

I'm using a 3D camera and everything works fine when I first load up my scene. But if I click "new game" which completely reloads the current scene (including all camera objects and the follow target), the camera no longer follows the target. I see that "_active_pcam_missing" is being set to 'true' and the "_active_pcam_3d" is losing its reference to the phantom_camera_3d node when I reload the scene.

I can sort of force it to work again by manually calling "phantom_camera_host._assign_new_active_pcam(phantom_camera_3d)", but this has the unintended opposite effect of making the camera not work initially when I load the game, and it only starts working after I click "new game". So, right now, I can either chose that the camera works initially but breaks later, or starts broken and only works after a reload.

What am I doing wrong?

The issue is resolved. The problem was my scene was getting duplicated by using queue_free() instead of free(), so for a single frame there were two copies of everything, and I guess this confused the addon. Now everything reloads correctly. Sorry to trouble you with my mistake!

No problem, thanks for the update!
Glad it was a simple fix :)

I had the same problem and had problems with removing my level with free() instead of queue_free() as some object was locked at this time. I made a workaround after deleting the old level with:
await get_tree().create_timer(.1).timeout
So either I use PC wrong in the way I reinitialize it each level or there's another problem in my game.

even this works:
await get_tree().process_frame

Not sure about the exact code structure, but have you tried using the tree_exited signal? It should be the most accurate way of tracking when the node (scene) has left the scene tree.
