This should be in the godot basics section, holy crap, I just understood so much just seeing it in action.

Wow this was such a simple explanation of why the var couldn't be at the top this helped me so much I wish you would continue tutorials (though I understand being done)

Oyhe mate, heres the awnser to your question:

A var is assigned a value when the script instance is created. At this point the node may not be ready on the scene (ex: you called instance() but not add_child) For that reason, you can set a default value to it that will be set only once, but it can't be an expression related to the tree (like get_node or get_parent).

An onready var is assigned a value after the node and its siblings entered the tree. It's a shortcut for assigning variables in _ready(), also note that _ready() is also called when the node leaves and re-enter the tree again. Because of this initialization order, onready lets you assign values that depend on the tree you are instanced in, so you can use get_node with it.

should be node.set('name'), not node.get('name') - thats why it didnt work :)

But how can I run a function in a script when the function is in another script.

But how to access a node from an entered body? :\ get node only works if you know the path and only for a single path.... this is so much more complicated than unity

How could I make clicking on a sprite with the _input mouse function to communicate with another image in the scene to make it invisible? Thank you!

How you do with an abolute path? For example doesn't work in my Receiver node.

this worked for but i have a question, how can i get the variable inside a function in another script ? i have this way:


func reset():
monedas_oro = 0
moneda_temporal_oro i want to call only this variable
puntaje = 0

do you know how to do it ? if you can answer me please ? :)

I'm trying to access a variable that is in a KinematicBody2D's script inside of a StaticBody2D's script... Even if I make the StaticBody2D a child of the KinematicBody2D, Godot still doesn't even realize that KinematicBody2D exists when I type get_node("[name of the KinematicBody2D]").[the variable I'm trying to access]... Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi!
How can we do this in V.S?


extends Node

export (PackedScene) var wp

func _input(event):
if
var new_wp = wp.instance()
new_wp.position =
add_child(new_wp)

I love how Ghetto Godot was 6 years ago 😂

[connorjade]

OMG this is so old....which version of godot is this..???

[NJIStudios]

Yeah but you cheated and used extends... we want to know how to do it WITHOUT extending off of it.

[tomlapomme]

Is it possible with a script in another scene ? (without use au singleton autoload)

Nice video.
I have a problem applying this in real time. I want to make a form with line Edit as First Name and last name( two line edits) with a dropdown (male or female) and an OK button to submit the values into a string then call it anytime or use an if statement on it, I am a beginner in Godot, please help me, don't be too geeky. HELLPP! I need an answer rn. subscribed. :D
