Question

How can I create an array of enum?
I have enum like:

enum Status {
  OPEN,
  LOCK,
  USING
}

I tried to create an array like var status_arr = [Status.OPEN] but I have an exception:

Invalid set index ‘status_arr’ (on base: ‘PackedScene’) with value of type ‘Array’.

Thanks!

I don’t know what are you doing to get an error “On base: PackedScene” but in my script it works fine:

[0, 1]

Maybe something else is causing it?

I also print like you. But when I assign for another class variable I got exception. For example:

class_name ClassA

enum Status {
  OPEN,
  LOCK,
  USING
}

func _pass_param():
  var status_arr = [Status.OPEN]
  print(status_arr) # Printed
  var class_b_new = ClassB.new()
  class_b_new.status_pass = status_arr # Error occurred

In class B

extends TextureButton

class_name ClassB

var status_pass: Array;

func _ready():
  print(status_pass)

Works fine for me:

And of course, as @AntiVirusJ said, you could add more elements to that array, even repeat them if you want (let’s say you want to keep the status of 8 fixed objects/chests/inventory slots/etc…). It’s not the best practice, in general you should define a variable for each object, like:

var status : Status = Status.OPEN;

but do it however makes sense to you.

ClassA:

ClassB:

Result:

You definitely doing something more, maybe trying to set PackedScene to it from another script

Sorry this is my fault, in class B I using camel case (statusPass) and class A I used underscore (status_pass)

Well, you’ve solved it, good luck)
