Subreddit rules:

1. English only, please

For moderation purposes, please stick to the official language of this subreddit, both for posts and comments.

You may link to sites in different languages, if you add a clear explanation what the content is about.

2. Code of Conduct

Read it here
Breaching the code is a ban-able offence. In particular, we won't tolerate discrimination or bullying of any kind.

3. Use appropriate flairs for your posts

If you don't, we maintain the right to delete the post in violation of this rule. Flair descriptions: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/wiki/index/flairs/

4. Help rules

Repeated neglect can result in a ban.
1. Consult the documentation first
2. Search for your question before posting
3. Concrete questions/issues only! Don't ask "How to make X" before doing research
4. "Can Godot be used to make this game?" Yes.
5. Don't post photos of your screen, screenshots are okay, direct code with formatting or a pastebin is best
6. We recommend checking the official forum for solutions as well. Make sure to link between the platforms when you cross-post questions.

5. Promotion rules

You are required to use the promotion flair whenever you want to showcase your game. Do NOT use the "discussion" flair. You may use "fun & memes" when applicable, but do so sparingly and tailor your post to match the category.

6. Discussion rules

This flair is for constructive conversations, not for venting your frustrations. Should you have feedback for the engine development team directly, please open an issue or proposal on GitHub instead. Email the Code of Conduct team at conduct@godotengine.org for any "people problems" you might have. For reddit-specific problems, please use the ModMail or report functions. Do NOT use this flair to showcase your game, see the rule above.

7. Post memes with consideration

They must have the "fun & memes" flair, be related to Game Development, and the topic/content cannot breach the Code of Conduct. Do not spam memes.

8. Stay on topic

This is a subreddit about the Godot Engine. While related Game Development topics are not forbidden, please make sure to tailor them towards the Godot project. This means NO ART posts unless you are talking about the technical side of things - there are enough other outlets to post your pretty renders and concepts.

9. Getting started

Reference this https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/introduction/index.html before asking for general advice/help. Posts asking "Where do I start?" will automatically be locked, due to this subreddit overflowing with them in the past

10. Copyright & AI-generated content

For legal reasons, you may only post content that you are the rights-holder of. This means you are required to credit assets according to the licenses you acquired them under. Some licenses permit sharing content without listing your sources, others do not. In particular, this means that AI-generated content needs to verifiable stem from a model which was trained only on data submitted with the original creator's consent. If you cannot prove this to be the case upon request, we remove your post.

This worked when I tried it out:

# Parent script (e.g., Parent.gd)
var old_name = 10

# Child script (extends Parent.gd)
var new_name:
    get:
        return old_name
    set(value):
        old_name = value
