OK! Hard mode #godot challenge question:
Is there any way to set up a Resource with a signal that has a call bound?
By default, defining signals works fine but they cannot be bound in the editor. I have been using trashy workarounds. I would prefer to just bind the signal.
Ugh, the only answer I got to this was on BlueSky and was "why would you ever want something easy and useful? You should just do backflips like everyone else!"
I guess I'm glad for the silence here on Mastodon, at least it's not people telling me to not ask the question.
This is probably not Godot-specific, but I can't help except notice that whenever I ask a Godot question, 95% of the answers are about how I shouldn't have asked.
And then like 5% are "here's how:" and it's super easy.
Be part of the 5%.
Since it seems people don't know why you'd want this:
You have a Resource class: Potion.
How do you tell each type what it does?
Easiest way would be to bind arbitrary functions and args on a on_drunk Signal.
Otherwise you have to duplicate that functionality and it's either flabby or brittle. #godot
@Taffer I think that's probably the best way to do it given the restrictions, but it's still a real annoyingly flabby way to go about it. It means you have to have a bunch of different classes you instantiate willy-nilly, saving and loading to a spreadsheet becomes really obnoxious-
It'd be so much nicer with a reflection-based function system. Sigh.
