I have scenes A, B and C.

A is the main scene, and scenes B and C are just instanciated in it.

In scene B I have this script:

signal sploosh

func _ready():
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Splash"):
		emit_signal("sploosh")

And in scene C I have this script:

func _ready():
	get_parent().get_node("SceneB").connect("sploosh", self, "asd")
	

func asd():
	print("yay")

But it still is not working as it should. Do I use some deprecated stuff or something?

With print(get_parent().get_node("SceneB").get_signal_list()) from Scene C I can see the sploosh signal though. Signals have been the toughest part to learn for some reason to me.

  • vomppis That is still just as wrong, asd() in turn is still called from ready. Just remove that func _ready(): line and it's contents altogether for now, cause it seems to be confusing you. Having _ready(): in a script is not mandatory.

    And rename that func asd(): to either func _input(): or func _process():.

    Then create a new func asd(): as such:

    func asd():
    print("yay")

      vomppis In scene B I have this script:
      signal sploosh

      func _ready():
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Splash"):
		emit_signal("sploosh")

      This is wrong, you don't use Input in _ready() also, I suspect you don't want it to actually emit that signal in that exact moment when the node becomes 'ready' anyways.

      Either do this in _input() or one of the processes but not in ready or in init.

          Is is possible that at the time when C's _ready() func is called, scene B has not been constructed yet? I would try moving the connect call to the parent node A. That way you know both child nodes have been constructed.

            Megalomaniak Yes, after sending the first post, I moved the if block to separate function like this, but it did not solve the problem:

            func _ready():
	asd()

func asd():
	if Input.is_action_pressed("Splash"):
		emit_signal("sploosh")

            I will try if this solves the problem. Do you mean like this to Scene A script:
            get_node("SceneB").connect("sploosh", $SceneC, "asd")

    print("yay")

                      Megalomaniak Thanks, now it works.
                      I need to remember that Godot does not see all the nodes automatically, so the exact path must be given always.
