Godot Version Godot 4 Question I can’t figure out how to make an button change the gender in my stats.gd to acually store what the player chooses. I can of course do it manually but I can’t figure out how to get stats that acually updates and care what I choose. This is an UI game. Help …

Write the enum name then it’s value func _on_boy_button_pressed() -> void: Gender = Genders.Boy func _on_girl_button_pressed() -> void: Gender = Genders.Girl

[image] I’m trying to turn all off this into that in Stats_Baby(or stats.gd) on the little row for “Gender”, if I press an boy button in my 2D or girl it will store the string boy or girl in that little row in Stats_Baby(or stats.gd) but I’m really new so I don’t know how. I’ve already searched b…

Here is stats.gd and the scene tree [image]

Your Stats_Baby.new() makes a new resource that doesn’t exist in your filesystem, it is a whole different resource from this Baby_Stats.tres in your inspector.

Can I make an enum give an set response as boy for one button or girl for the other? I understood it as that enum is only for manual input?

enum is not only for manual input, the only limitation is that you cannot add new values to enum once the game is running. If you only use buttons for gender selection then an enum will work perfectly fine. If you let a user type in anything to a LineEdit then you will have to use a String.

Okey I’m having trouble finding how to write this out in code extends CanvasLayer class_name Stats_Baby @export var Name: String enum Genders { Undefined, Boy, Girl, } @export var Gender: Genders @export var Anger: float @export var Intelligence: float @export var Happiness: float @export var…

Can you do this with numbers as well for the other variables? func _on_anger_button_pressed() -> void: Gender = Genders.1
