I’m trying to display a var as text in a different node and need the var from the player one

I’m a beginner, so I could easily be wrong, but at the top of the script, where it says "extends ‘X’ ", you can type in the script you want the variable from.

the extends x is what the script is attached to, so that wouldn’t work. Thanks though!

I skipped the Extends Node but I think you can get it.

Get the node that has the variable and then reference it like any other property.

Here’s an example:

Player.gd:

var property = "some property"

Main.gd:

onready var player = $Player
var property = player.property

I’m fairly new to Godot, can you explain how I do that? you could just give me an example if you want. Thanks!
