Connecting custom signals with arguments

[mighty cosmos]

Hey guys I could use some help understanding how signals with arguments work.

In child:
signal playerSpawnerFound(playerSpawner)
...
playerSpawnerFound.emit(playerSpawner)

In parent:
room.playerSpawnerFound.connect(setCharSpawner)
...
func setCharSpawner(node):
print_debug(node)

I have been researching for an hour and can't figure out why setCharSpawner(node) isn't called. I think my emit is correct but the connecting part is wrong. Is my syntax wrong? The docs don't do a good job of showing how to use custom signals with arguments.

If it were wrong then you would see an error

aer you sure the signal is emitted?

Absolutely positive, and yes I get 0 errors. The function I'm attempting to connect to just doesn't get called

because it looks right to me
