Signal connect - scripts

bkumanchik

When I go to the Signal/Connect some scripts show up and some don't, I'm not sure why as some of the scripts that don't show up are the same type as some that do.

In my included project, if you click on main's main node (Node2D node) and click Node/Signals/reset_game()/Connect...

Then main, ui, turret, invader show up in the list with scripts attached and are available to Connect to, but shot and invader_shot are not, they have scripts attached to them and are the same kind of nodes as the others. I can't figure out what makes them different and why I can't connect to them. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

Thanks for any help,

Just a guess, but maybe it's because shot and invader_shot are not part of the main scene. When the scene dock displays the main scene, those nodes are not shown there.

Hmm, thanks for looking at this, I'll see if there is a way to add them just for the purpose of the connect-ability.

You could connect them using code. That only requires that the nodes be in the scene tree when the connect() is executed.

I just wasn't seeing that, I tried to figure out what was different - that's why it help to get someone else to spot the obvious ;)
