I don't see any problems with the code as presented, including the commented out code. Probably due to itch.io formatting you are missing leading whitespace in the functions so I'll have to take your word that it is not an issue. You haven't specified if you are using the Debug mod or the editor, so I can't rule out the possibility of a tangentially related error somehow sabotaging you.

Itch.io code can be formatted but it doesn't play nice with copy and paste. Edit: seems extra lines really don't work, though adding a space to them works.

If we assume that there are no errors, then we will have to get creative in looking for the source of the problem. Please verify that you are not editing the files in the "backup" folder for Strive as those files are 100% copies but are not used except to replace the game's files whenever the mod system applies or resets mods. Note that any changes you have made to the non-backup files will be erased if you use the mod system, and the Debug mod doesn't actually use the mod system. Additionally if you have made your own copies of the files, make sure that the game is using files with your latest changes. Finally, I've had people report in some cases that editors like Notepad++ were somehow editing something like copies of files rather than the actual files so their edits had no effect, though I've never had this happen to me.

Using the Debug mod or editor it is possible to use print() to get direct feedback as to the state of the program in functions, which can be more useful than relying on the Game's GUI to behave as expected. The game also has a system designed for file based trace statements in globals.gd, but those are more helpful for dealing with crashes.
