Accessing data from globals.gd?

Radiowaves

Hello. I am following the example in https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_dictionary.html

export(String, "White", "Yellow", "Orange") var my_color

But "White", "Yellow", "Orange" are stored as an array/list in globals.gd that is autoloaded. How should I write this?

export(String, Globals.colors) var my_color gives error that it expects "," or ")" after "String", but it has ",", so error is wrong...

I'm not sure if its possible to use an array as part of an export statement.

You can use an enum though, and then convert that into a string. I think you can do something like this:

In the singleton

enum COLORS = {
	White,
	Yellow
	Orange,
}
var _colors_to_string = [
	"White",
	"Yellow",
	"Orange",
]

In the other script:

export (Globals.COLORS) var my_color_enum
var my_color_string

func _ready():
	my_color_string = Globals._colors_to_string[my_color_enum]
	print ("Selected color: ", my_color_string)
