Exporting a [NodePath] variable will give you a node selection widget in the properties panel of the editor, which can often be useful. A [NodePath] is composed of a list of slash-separated node names (like a filesystem path) and an optional colon-separated list of "subnames" which can be resources or properties. Some examples of NodePaths include the following: [codeblock] # No leading slash means it is relative to the current node. - @"A" # Immediate child A - @"A/B" # A's child B - @"." # The current node. - @".." # The parent node. - @"../C" # A sibling node C. + ^"A" # Immediate child A + ^"A/B" # A's child B + ^"." # The current node. + ^".." # The parent node. + ^"../C" # A sibling node C. # A leading slash means it is absolute from the SceneTree. - @"/root" # Equivalent to get_tree().get_root(). - @"/root/Main" # If your main scene's root node were named "Main". - @"/root/MyAutoload" # If you have an autoloaded node or scene. + ^"/root" # Equivalent to get_tree().get_root(). + ^"/root/Main" # If your main scene's root node were named "Main". + ^"/root/MyAutoload" # If you have an autoloaded node or scene. [/codeblock] + See also [StringName], which is a similar concept for general-purpose string interning. [b]Note:[/b] In the editor, [NodePath] properties are automatically updated when moving, renaming or deleting a node in the scene tree, but they are never updated at runtime. </description> <tutorials> @@ -36,7 +37,7 @@ <return type="NodePath" /> <argument index="0" name="from" type="NodePath" /> <description> - Constructs a [NodePath] as a copy of the given [NodePath]. + Constructs a [NodePath] as a copy of the given [NodePath].
