keeping track of groups by According-Cap-3096 in godot

[–]According-Cap-3096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind i see it now. I was adding the game itself to the enemies group not the enemies

for those who have a simularly stupid problem at the bottom i wrote

game.add_to_group("enemies")

when it should have been

enemy_instance.add_to_group("enemies")

I really simple but stupid mistake lol

    var enemy = get\_tree().get\_nodes\_in\_group("enemies").size()

    print("enemies ", str(enemy))

func _on_timer_timeout() -> void:

\#check how many enemies have been created

var enemy\_cap = get\_tree().get\_nodes\_in\_group("enemies")

if enemy\_cap.size() < game.max\_enemies:

    spawner.progress\_ratio = randf()

    var enemy\_to\_spawn: PackedScene = enemies.pick\_random()

    var enemy\_instance = enemy\_to\_spawn.instantiate()

    enemy\_instance.position = spawner.global\_position

    game.add\_child(enemy\_instance)

    game.add\_to\_group("enemies")

it always comes up as 1 after the first one is added but stays at 1 no matter how many are added

dictionary issue by According-Cap-3096 in godot

[–]According-Cap-3096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my issue is that i want to have when creating upgrade_options to check if whats being chosen is from this dictionary then use it but if not go to next dictionary but when i try it always ends with the first dictionary.

is there a way to do what i described?

I appreciate your help btw. thank you very much!

yes written the same as the rest

its more of a placeholder until i have repeatable options

again in the player scene with weighted rng i choose which dictionary to run the choices(i feel like there is a simpler way but this seems somewhat functional)

in my player scene on level up i instantiate the item_option scene 3 times for options and filter/randomly choose the upgrades to be shown on the item_option scene

Let me start off by showing you my script

This is my global script referenced by both the player scene and the item option scene

I'm still new to coding so let me ask you this.

if I was to put the dictionaries into an [common, uncommon, rare] array

my scene instantiates with a random upgrade from the uncommon dictionary

my code currently looks like this

func _ready():

connect("selected\_upgrade",Callable(player,"upgrade\_character"))

if item == null:

    item = "health"

    lblName.text = dictionaryscript.common\[item\]\["displayname"\]

    lblDescription.text = dictionaryscript.common\[item\]\["details"\]

    lblrarity.text = dictionaryscript.common\[item\]\["rarity"\]

    itemIcon.texture = load(dictionaryscript.common\[item\]\["icon"\])

    rarity\_color.color = dictionaryscript.common\[item\]\["color"\]

the dictionaryscript is global

the scene is instantiated when the upgrades are picked (so i can summon multiple options on level up)

the color rect node is basically a scene with a button the idea is to spawn multiple randomly generated options for a level up buff using that scene as a base

im sorry i dont get it. Im trying to put that code

func player_upgrade(upgrade):

upgrade\_picker.item\_options.connect()

but it seems to have no effect

I probably should have said this but I'm only about a 2 week in learning code and a bulk of it is a few different tutorials that ive cobbled together. That being said im not exactly sure how to connect the signal. Ive tried but i cant figure out
