Singleton from Autoload

UpAllNight

I have a script which extends Node that loads up via Autoload. It contains some functions and some var's defining a few things.

Sample:

extends Node
var atimer; var curmap=0
var current_scene = null 

func test():
	pass

I'm able to call these functions anywhere else within the scope of the project. Global.test() <---- works fine from any node, any scene ...

But when I try to access the defined variables I get no auto completion nor can I get the variable from anywhere.

var something = Global.curmap <----- does not work.

Why are the functions in this Autoload script file visible elsewhere but the variables it contains are not scene?

You never know what the editor is going to do. Maybe you could export the variables and they would show up. I don't know, but you get used to the editor not giving the information you need off and on.

Odd, I found I can access them if I add the below line into each function.

var mvars = get_node("/root/Main")

Even though the online docs clearly state that isn't required.

If the Enable column is checked (which is the default), then the singleton can be accessed directly without requiring get_node():

Oh, yeah, you should be able to access them. I just meant it doesn't always show up in code completion. I just tried it with no problem. I added the script to res: with the right mouse button. Went to autoload and directed it to the script global.gd. It automatically named it Global.
started up a scene from main with a script in the ready and called Global.variableName and it showed up in the editor and I changed it.

Giving the variables a type can help with autocompletion.
