Code execution order in _ready()

+3 votes

Is there anyway to control the order in which code in disparate script files will run in the _ready() function? Basically I'm using get_node() to grab a node which is instanced via another node. This throws an error because it wasn't able to find the node because it wasn't instanced yet!

Please use back quotes to mark code, that will avoid _ to be interpreted as an italic marker.
e.g. ``_ready()``

You can use: onready var node = get_node(), before anything else, outside of all functions
