Answer 1

You dont seem to have really explained your problem so I am assuming what you are trying to do is get the function on_coconut_collected in the hud script to run when the signal coconut_collected is sent.

If this is correct what you need to do is connect the signal you are emitting in the hud script, you would do it by putting this in the ready function of the hud script

connect("coconut_collected", self, "on_coconut_collected")

what this will do is when the signal is sent the hud script will listen out for it and connect to the function you specify.

Answer 2

$COCONUTS/coconut1/connect("coconut_collected", self, "_on_coconut_collected")

In the future please try to summarize your problem in the question title, and make your code easier to read by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+K or clicking the {} button at the top of the text box.

You're probably better off calling connect inside the coconut script, so that HUD doesn't have to find all the coconuts itself.

connect("coconut_collected", hud, "_on_coconut_collected") where hud is the reference to your HUD node
