NodePath Examples
get_node("path/to/your/node")
$"path/to/your/node"00:41: Godot converts your string into a NodePath class:
So $"Game World/Player" becomes NodePath("Game World/Player")
Auto-Updating NodePaths
- 00:55: NodePaths do not auto update.
- They point to a location where a node is.
- However if that node moves, the NodePath won’t be updated and now it is a broken reference.
- 01:27: In the editor, NodePaths are automatically updated, but they are never updated at runtime.
@export var ui: NodePath
# this NodePath will auto update when a change is made in the editor.
