Question

How to drag a scene to another scene’s exported variable?

Explanation: I have three scenes: passenger, seat and vehicle, the passenger scene’s script has an exported variable parent_seat:

class_name Passenger extends Node3D

@export var parent_seat: Seat

class_name Seat extends Node3D

The vehicle scene has some seat scene instances:

Now, in the passenger scene, I want to drag a value for parent_seat from vehicle scene pictured above:

But, when I switch to vehicle scene to drag the seat value, the Inspector switches back to vehicle (seems logical), hiding the parent_seat value from the passenger.

There is no way, to assign the parent_seat value by dragging it around from the vehicle and all copying options not working in this case.

I’m sure, I’m missing something important, but what it is?

Vehicle and Passenger are two different scenes. You can only assign nodes that are part of the same scene via the inspector.
