Scene Unique Nodes
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are times in a project where a node needs to be called
|
||
|
|
from a script. However, its position in the tree might change
|
||
|
|
over time as adjustments are made to a scene, such as a
|
||
|
|
button in a UI scene.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In situations like this, a node can be turned into a scene
|
||
|
|
unique node to avoid having to update a script every time
|
||
|
|
its path is changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Creating and using them
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the Scene tree dock, right-click on a node and select
|
||
|
|
**Access as Scene Unique Name** in the context menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. image:: img/unique_name.png
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After checking this, the node will now have a percent symbol (**%**) next
|
||
|
|
to its name in the scene tree:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. image:: img/percent.png
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use a unique node in a script, use the ``%`` symbol and the node's
|
||
|
|
name in the path for ``get_node()``. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. tabs::
|
||
|
|
.. code-tab:: gdscript GDScript
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
get_node("%RedButton").text = "Hello"
|
