Scripts Inherited By Scenes All Share Variables #18

Closed Jamtoad closed 2 years ago

Jamtoad commented 2 years ago

Hi its me again, sorry to bother! I noticed today that when a script is tied to a scene, when you instance that scene all of those instanced scenes share variables. So for example if I change a variable for one of the scripts it changes for every scene that has that script.

Is this because I am declaring my variables this way?

Is there a different way I should be declaring variables?

**EDIT Upon doing more reading I realize that this is an issue with godot. I need to make each scene unique from one another. Still researching how to do that.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!


local Test = {}

Test.extends = "KinematicBody2D"

Test.Variable = 60

Turns out it was an issue of using self or not haha. Same as last time I posted an issue. I guess I need to be using self more often.

Hi there! Sorry about the delay.

Yeah, anytime you need to access properties or call methods in instances, use self. If you want to really access/change the script table itself, only then you use your Test variable to access stuff. I still have to document this better and create examples of projects/scripts in Lua =/

I'm glad you figured it out ^^ Don't hesitate in asking if you have any more trouble, we'll be happy to help!
