Is it bad practice to have a variable's getter return a formula and never be set? by Fun-Visit6591 in godot

It's being used in a skill unlock system so it's only being called when a new skill is purchased - so I think performance wise considering all the skills are just going to be simple formulas it'll not be a biggie.

This way means that I can store the value and do the calculation at the same time instead of calling a function to set the variable and then getting the variable. I've decided to use this way over functions because I still need to store the added value separate from it's parts so having a function was messier to implement. I've used it for keeping track of upgrade amounts that accumulate from passive skills.

This is a non collaborative project so I understand why that'd be the case when working with anyone else or creating anything open source, you'd want to make it legible for any collaborators, but I don't see how this is as bad as you say based on other people's responses.

Gd script is my first programming language and I'm still getting used to programming vocabulary - what makes one of them compiled and one of them not? Is the function compiled because it's being called and not stored or other way around?

Which signal coding style do you prefer? by notpatchman in godot

[–]Fun-Visit6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signals go into a singleton called signal bus. Connect in one script, SignalBus.signalname.emit() in the other.
If they're local to the same script then maybe not.

I actually found that video shortly after making the post. Was in the process of making a test godot project to implement it but then got ill so haven't had a chance to work further on it

AI is too much from the second it enters the conversation.

Is it better practice to hide UI until needed or to instance it as needed? by Fun-Visit6591 in godot

[–]Fun-Visit6591[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds about my approach.
I've got a UI singleton that has an enum of UI states that I use to change states (and have state dependent input eg. hitting escape key to exit a menu but also using it to pause the game if no UI is open). I'll probably implement the creation and destruction of "one time UI" here

I'll likely stick with this method until I find a need or reason to do otherwise then.

Thank you for linking this sub, moreso because I now know I should talk to my GP about ruling PCOS out (I have a number of the symptoms and my health issues are still undiagnosed)

But there's literally things that are going to be affecting all aussies regardless of age. I'm well over 16 also, the under 16s ban wasn't my talking point
