Thanks for the tut, im having a hard time wrapping my head around this concept, but your video has cleared it a little for me 🎉

This has been the clearest video so far for a newbie like me who has never coded a game! I've tried several tutorials to wrap my head around set and get. SUBBED!!

Appreciate the "just the code" section! I'll use it, so here's a comment and a like in return

[Muphet]

you can also write: *var health: float = 100.0 setget _set_health, _get_health* (but you need to mind the order)

[VaunaKiller]

Shorter syntax:
var hp = 10:
set(value):
hp = value
get:
return hp

Hey man! Loved the video thank you so much for it! Could you tell us how you made Godot look like that? I just love the color scheme you got going on!

[NocturnalPenguin]

Just found this. Great video. Could you explain the setter parameter a bit more? What does “new_value” do since there’s no value there?

Is the checkerboard at the bottom where the taskbar was? You can toggle full screen by pressing Shift + F11. Great video, btw :)

im here by almost complete chance... I was looking for a tutorial for the set() and get() function for variables... but now that I'm here this looks massively useful, but I just don't know how it would be applicable? Why not just reference the variable itself? And if you want to run a function then why even bother linking it back to the variable it's changing? It would work reguardless wouldn't it?

[EthernalOynuyor]

It doesn't work for detecting changes in array ?
The docs says it does but this exact same code does nothing for arrays.
Using Godot 4.2

I get an error saying "function cannt be used as setter because of its signature". Can't seem to find a fix through google. Can you help?

[serghonest]

I don't understand how can you call another function that it's not going to be available when initializing the variable heatlh. Won't Godot try to access _get_health and give an error because it has not been initialized?

[JebaliJihed-gc]

very small complaint, the voice is very low try to get it higher so everybody can hear next time . and nice tutorial

[codewithmax]

This code will works without set and get parts in variables line?
