How to add custom properties to a node?

vijay_shastri

I want to create a scene transition scene to transport the player to another room when they enter it. However, there appears to be no way to define an individual scene for each instance of the scene changer. How would I do this?

You can export the variable and then set it in the editor using the following syntax in GDScript:

export (type_here) var variable_name_here : optional_type_here = default_value_here
# working example:
export (NodePath) var path_to_node : NodePath = null

I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for though, but maybe? For a PackedScene, something like this might be what you are looking for (untested):

# for a filename string:
export (String, FILE) var file_name = ""
# for a PackedScene
export (PackedScene) var scene_file = null

To add custom variables to a node, you can use Metadata Inspector:

It is available in the AssetLib.
