Adding state actions
Create a script in res://states/ extending a Node, and define your functions and variables.
#my_state.gd
signal my_signal(id: String, amount: int)
var _tick := 0 # var names begining with _ will not be saved.
var score := 0 # all other vars defined in script will be.
func ticker(amount := 1) -> int:
_tick += amount
return _tick
func double_score():
score *= 2
# here we can return a bbcode wrapped version.
func score_styled(color = Color.GREEN) -> String:
return "[%s;b]%s[]" % [color, score]
func do_signal(id: String, amount: int):
my_signal.emit(id, amount)
Now in a .soot script, these can be called in one of two ways.
#the_story.sooty
=== scene_start
# The shortcut way:
My score is [$score], or stylized is [$score_styled] and with an argument [$score_styled RED].
# Or the evaluation way:
My score is [~score], or stylized is [~score_styled()] and with an argument [~score_styled("RED")].
