Hello all. I’m new to godot so sorry if this has a really basic solution I’m missing.
I expect my project to be fairly code-heavy, so I want to have a specific node that handles user input. Currently, I have a class that changes the resolution of the screen, which works fine. (it also adjusts the background to match and so on. it is called resolutionController.) I have created a node called keyboardController, and a script to match, to handle all my input.
I’m struggling to get to the root of the problem. The symptom is this: keyboard controller cannot access the resolutionController node. I have tried using get_node(), I have tried using find_node(), I have tried making the resolutionController node a child of the keyboardController node. I have tried moving get_node() to after the button press, I have tried having it inside _ready() and storing the resolutionController node in a variable.
I have noticed a couple things while bashing my head against this bug. keyboardController._ready() is being run twice, which I have further determined is because it is being moved from being a child of the scene node to being a child of the viewport. I have also determined that get_node() is actually finding the right node, which I figured out by printing the node. Both resolutionController and the node that keyBoardController.get_node() found have the same ID [ Node : 1190 ] (or a different number depending on startup.) But when I go to access the variables inside resolutionController from keyboardController, it fails.
Here are both files in full. the exact error I get when I run them is attempt to call function 'get_max_resolution' in base 'null instance on null instance on line 21 of keyboardController.
keyboardController:
extends Node
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
print_debug("keyboardController parent is: ", get_parent());
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
#func _process(delta):
# pass
func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed("ui_home"):
toggleResolution();
if event.is_action_pressed("ui_cancel"):
get_tree().quit();
func toggleResolution():
var resolutionController = get_node("resolutionController");
print_debug("keyboardController found: ", resolutionController);
if OS.get_window_size().x < 1080:
resolutionController.setResolution(resolutionController.get_max_resolution());
else:
resolutionController.setResolution(resolutionController.get_min_resolution());
(this shouldn’t be relevant but I will include it here for completeness)
resolutionController:
extends Node
# Declare member variables here. Examples:
# var a = 2
# var b = "text"
var bkg_node;
var bkg_x;
var bkg_y;
var minResolution = Vector2(960, 540);
var maxResolution = Vector2(1920, 1080);
func get_min_resolution(): return minResolution;
func get_max_resolution(): return maxResolution;
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
#init the files we need to work
bkg_node = get_node("../../background");
bkg_x = bkg_node.texture.get_width();
bkg_y = bkg_node.texture.get_height();
#set a default resolution. 1600x900 is one of my faves
setResolution(Vector2(1600, 900));
print_debug("resolutionController is: ", self);
print_debug("resolutionController parent is: ", get_parent());
print_debug("resolutionController grandparent is: ", get_parent().get_parent());
# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
#func _process(delta):
# pass
func setResolution(newResolution):
OS.set_window_size(Vector2(newResolution.x, newResolution.y));
bkg_node.set_offset(Vector2((newResolution.x-bkg_x)/2,
(newResolution.y-bkg_y)/2));
OS.center_window();
#TODO: set_borderless_window(value) for fullscreen
Thanks for your help everyone. I’m open to different solutions / a better way of doing things but I am somewhat attached to having a single class that handles all the input. I want to avoid spaghetti as much as I can.
