It can reference a node, a resource within a node, or a property of a node or resource. For instance, [code]"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:size"[/code] would refer to the [code]size[/code] property of the [code]texture[/code] resource on the node named [code]"Sprite"[/code] which is a child of the other named nodes in the path. You will usually just pass a string to [method Node.get_node] and it will be automatically converted, but you may occasionally want to parse a path ahead of time with [NodePath] or the literal syntax [code]@"path"[/code]. 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 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. + [/codeblock] </description> <tutorials> </tutorials> |
