check nodes (Answered)

I am working on a minesweeper mashup. I am trying to figure out how to scan the blocks as the player walks on them and then scan the following blocks until a mine is hit (to display the numbers of nearby bombs)

Here is what I currently have. It detects bombs bc they are in a bomb group, and it also changes the color of the titles as the player walks on them, but putting in the nearby numbers is stumping me. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

extends StaticBody2D

onready var sprite = $Sprite
onready var bmb = $Bomb
var rng = RandomNumberGenerator.new()

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
	if $RayCast2D.is_colliding():
		sprite.self_modulate = Color("#0004fd")
		if is_in_group("bomb"):
			#if walk on bomb, dispay bomb
			bmb.visible = true
		if is_in_group("not_bomb"):
			#check for bombs forward, if bomb, check next spot until no bomb then display #
			pass

func _ready():
	if LevelGenerator.current_block_number >= 10:
		rng.randomize()
		var bomb = rng.randi_range(0, 20)
		if bomb <= 3:
			add_to_group("bomb")
		else:
			add_to_group("not_bomb")

Caveat, I'm new to Godot, this probably isn't the best way, plus not looking into 2D, BUT:

I would populate an array with bomb positions to begin with where a 1 represents a bomb and a zero represents no bomb. Using this to generate each bomb, I'd give each an attribute 'bomb_position' which contains its position in the array.

Then when the Raycast hits each bomb, I'd retrieve 'bomb_position' from the collider and check the array summing it's surrounding values.

Very crudely ("it's late"), I am imagining the array once generated could look something like: 0,0,0,1,0 0,1,0,1,0 0,1,1,1,0 1,0,0,0,1 1,0,1,1,0

If raycast hits bomb with bomb_position [1][2], then we only need to sum the total of the following: 0,0,0,1,0 0,1,0,1,0 0,1,1,1,0 1,0,0,0,1 1,0,1,1,0

Looping a 2D array seems simpler than any kind of engine sorcery (I mean, you probably COULD do something funky with Areas, but why would you).

I will see what I can come up with =) thank you very much for pointing me in a direction I had not considered.
