Ahaha, I make that mistake all the time too. But I believe I commented those parts out because I switched over to using AnimationPlayer to handle attacks, so I probably messed up the animations. Thanks for looking out for me.

To reference other nodes in the hierarchy, the approach I typically take now is to make them export variables (use type hints if you're using GDScript) and assign them in the inspector. I recall this to be resistant against name changes, but I'm not 100% sure.

Also, with get_node, scene unique names (the % thing) let you write $%NodeName instead of $PathToNode/NodeName. It doesn't auto update on name changes, but it makes referencing nested child nodes very easy when you don't want to futz with assigning export variables through the editor.
