Godot Version 4.3 stable Question I’m very new to Godot, and I’ve been having trouble getting variable changes to move across scenes. For example, main var example = false func _ready(): example = true other file func _ready(): print(example) The print always outputs false, no matter what …

That’s a lot of variable storages! The only one that is really a global is /root/varStor, and it’s created automatically by the Global/Autoload/Singleton system. However, you added the script .gd as a Global which does not create any of the children (the timer) or connections to signals (it’s timeou…

Your other file doesn’t have an example variable so it should give a syntax error. If you use a global/autoload then you need to specify the global’s name then it’s property, even then on _ready() it may be a race condition func _ready() -> void: print(MyGlobal.example)

My example wasn’t near detailed enough, so I’ll just paste in part of my actual code. global storage sq_ready :=false func _on_start_timer_timeout() → void: sq_ready = true main func _init(): if varStor.sq_ready == true: print(“block ready”) while true: if varStor.activePieces.front() == p…

sq_ready :=false func _on_start_timer_timeout() → void: sq_ready = true func _init(): if varStor.sq_ready == true: print("block ready") while true: if varStor.activePieces.front() == pieceName: attachBlock(square_block, in_play_piece) elif varStor.activePieces.back() == pieceNa…

Is this really one script? the first line is invalid, you probably ment to add var before. var sq_ready := false But in your original post you mentioned that this, and the timeout function are part of the global script, I’m guessing named varStor # varStor.gd var sq_ready := false func _on_start…

I’m using _init because I wanted a way to run code for only the instances of an object and not the main object, and that’s as close as I could get.

_init will not do that, it runs for all objects before _ready(), it’s quite prone to causing issues instead of helping. Instances are no different from nodes place in-editor, why do you want to run code only for instances? Could you share more about this problem? What specifically do you want to do…

I want to be able to create copies of an object that can do things while the original is unaffected. The “main object” is the one that is being duplicated.

Then outside of specific resources that should be true, duplicates do not edit the original. You should mark any resources the original instance has “Local to Scene” to avoid them being shared among the copies. There are also some flags you could specify when duplicating What specifically among you…

I worded my answer wrong. Nothing is being shared among the duplicates. The methods being called in the duplicates are also running on the original, and many of said methods delete crucial parts of the object, such as a specific hitbox that needs to be deleted at a certain point. Also, can we ple…
