I’m trying to make a points counter label. Every time a block is hit, it should add value to the label text. This node emits a signal to another scene, the game scene.

signal pts(qt)
...
func hit(damage , node):
	health -= damage
	emit_signal("pts" , damage)

The complication is that the block scene is instanced on the game scene.

onready var pre_brick = preload("res://scenes/block.tscn")
...
var bricks = null
...
var brick = pre_brick.instance()
				bricks = brick

I’m trying to connect to the signal like this, but I don’ think it is working.

bricks.connect("pts" , self , "on_pts")

How do I connect to an instanced object signal?

Hi! Your code looks correct to me. Make sure your receiving method on the game scene is declared with the argument “damage” present like so:
func on_pts(damage):
Signals don’t seem to work if the receiving method is not declared with the correct number of arguments.
