Singleton

adsfelipe

Hello. I want to have a function in my game that add points every second. but always active doesn't matter what scene are instancied. func addPoint(): points += 5

so i'm guessing this is a job for a singleton.

but how can i run this every second? can't have a timer on a singleton, any ideas?

You just need to make a timer through code. You should be able to add something like this to your singleton:

extends Node var timer = 0 var use_timer = true "You can use physics process if you want" func _process(delta): if use_timer == true: timer += delta; if timer >= 1: addPoint() timer = 0

And then the points will go up every second (assuming it works. I have not tested the code above)

Another solution would be using fixed_process() with setting the engine to 1 iteration per second. But this is effecting fixed_process() global across all scripts/scenes.

extends Node
var points = 0

func _ready():
	Engine.set_iterations_per_second(1)

func _fixed_process(delta):
	points += 5
