quick example:
var dict = {
"one" : "1"
}
func _ready():
print (dict.get("two", "2") ) #will print "2"
print (dict.has("two")) #still returns false
print (dict) #will print {one:1}
in this example, I am able to set a new value using get() but it obviously won’t save it in the dictionary.
is there a way I can create and save a new value in the dictionary using get() or maybe another way should be used?

Its cute that you want to invent new ways to interact with a Dictionary but
# This is strictly how you set values
dict.key = "value"
dict["key"] = "value"
dict = {"key" : "value"}
The purpose of get is for comparisons sake or when you need a defualt value
var dict = {
"one" : "1"
}
func _ready():
if dict.get("two", "0") != "0":
print (dict.two)
$Label.text = dict.get("two", "2")
this works!
thank you for the explanation
