It seems like this should be simple, but I haven’t figured it out yet.
I’d like to programmatically load many instances of this scene:
extends Node2D
var Stats = preload("res://creatures/components/Stats.tscn")
var Stats_sheep = preload("res://creatures/components/Stats_sheep.tscn")
export var stats = {}
func init_stats(name):
# type of creature
match name:
"sheep":
stats = Stats_sheep.duplicate(true).instance()
_:
stats = Stats.duplicate(true).instance()
stats = stats.get_stats()
# sprite
set_sprite()
# sight
set_sight()
func set_sprite():
var sprite = Sprite.new().duplicate()
add_child(sprite)
sprite.set_texture(stats["sprite"])
func set_sight():
var sight = Area2D.new().duplicate()
add_child(sight)
var sight_area = CollisionShape2D.new().duplicate()
sight.add_child(sight_area)
sight_area.set_shape(CircleShape2D.new().duplicate())
sight_area.shape.set_radius(stats["sight_radius"])
And this is the structure of the Stats scenes:
extends Node
export var stats = {
# type of creature
"type": "sheep",
# sprite resource
"sprite": preload("res://creatures/sprites/sheep.png"),
# sight
"sight_radius": 20
}
func get_stats():
return stats.duplicate()
When I instance these scenes, I want to be able to independently set the radius of the sight_area, but when I try to do that using this script, all of them come out the same size:
extends Node2D
var Creature = \
preload("res://creatures/Creature.tscn")
func _ready():
for i in range(4):
var creature = Creature.instance().duplicate()
creature.init_stats("sheep")
if i == 3:
creature.stats["sight_radius"] = 5
add_child(creature)
creature.position.x = randf()*80
creature.position.y = randf()*80
for _i in range(3):
var creature = Creature.instance().duplicate()
creature.init_stats("")
add_child(creature)
creature.position.x = randf()*80
creature.position.y = randf()*80
As you see in the code, I’m trying to make duplicates of the resources rather than maintaining references to the same resource, but even then, why can’t I even directly change creature.stats independently when I make a duplicate instance.
I have also enabled “Local To Scene” for every resource I’m using in the editor.
I’m sure there’s a simple way to do this, but I could really use some help here!
Thank you in advance!
