Return Method does not return an updated value?

UnknownUser

Hello, Two days ago I have started to learn Godot game engine for programming I use C# because I'm more familiar with this language.

But about two hours ago I discovered a weird thing probably a bug that Return methods don't return updated value, but they always return the value that was given at a variable declaration.

I have a basic Node2D class, where is the method which is called every time you press a left click on the mouse, after a method call there is "numberOfSpawned++" which is incrementing that variable by one. After that there is print to console so you know that increment happened.

I want to know the value of this variable in different class, so in the first class I have created a public method which returns the current status of spawned objects (increment after every player click) but in the other class where I called the method it returns the value of 0 AKA the value which was given at the start of game. Also these is something called: "Rozliseni" means Resolution

I have attached a picture with the code. And also a link to the project. I don't know If I'm dumb or what but I wasn't be able to find any solution.

So thank you very much for response with a solution!

And also excuse my english it's not perfect.

The last line on the bottom should be:

.text = ...

Not

.text += ...

Also, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the answer I didn't try that. But isn't that string always reset when the first line in the method is called? Because there is only "="? Also when I run GD.Print in the _delay1S_timeout() method it also show the default value set at the declaration of that variable. I'm currently at school so I will try that immediately after return.

Oh yeah, you're right. That's not the problem. Let me take a look at the project.

I found the problem. The Node2D needs to be in the tree for it to work.

Add this at the end of _Ready() in the Label file.

AddChild(instanceNodu);

Thank you for your time and effort! I have probably missed something in docs, thanks. I didn't find a check box for solved topics so I added that into the header.

The new topic button has a dropdown has two options, one for discussions and another for questions. Topics marked as questions will have options to mark replies as the answer to the question.

If you ever accidentally make the wrong one, please let one of us on forum staff know and we can change it for you. I've changed this topic to a question so you can mark the post(s) as the answer, and removed "solved" from the title.

I used to code in #C too but GdScript is way better for Godot try learning it.

Yes, actually this was the first time I tried the C# editor, and GDScript has way better integration. Also less typing and boilerplate. But C# is more widely useful, while GDScript is Godot-only, so I can understand why people would choose C#.
