Question
Can I store functions in an array so that my CharacterBody3D can randomly either become idle or move?
This script might be a little messy, as I’m trying to figure out the best way for this to work. I tried having the ready function make move active by default, but this didn’t play nicely with the navigation agent, so instead I supposed I could try to run a function to randomly choose if the character model, named “Meat”, would start being idle or move, and then from there keep looping these ‘decisions’. I tried storing the functions in an array, but after testing it realized it you can’t really directly reference the functions within an array as is. After reading about it online I saw you could reference them as strings, but I’m thinking I didn’t type it out right.
It would be nice if it could just move, then stop, and repeat. I could be overthinking it methinks…

Test within Main Scene with Debugger, fires off choose action signal, but neither move or idle is going off :
