I made an enemy scene with an enemy script. My plan is to export some variables like Speed, Damage etc, so I could set different values in the inspector. I want to load different random sprites so the enemies will look different. The idea is to export a variable enemy type, for example if the type = 1, load a certain array of sprites into the animation player randomly. This way, I could only use 1 scene for many different type of enemy. But I am not sure if there is a way to get the value which has been set in the inspector. Thank you.

You should be able to access an exported variable from another node just like any other non-exported member variable: Owner_Node.desired_variable where Owner_Node is a reference to the node that owns the variable (usually via get_node()/$ or get_parent() for nodes that already exist in the scene tree) and desired_variable is the exact name of the desired variable.

Got it work, turn out that I was over thinking about the export variables, they behave just like other variables, thank you.
