1 script 2 node export var

[calm cipher]

Hi. So i have one script that controls two castle (p1 - p2)
It has an export variable int for the team they in. (1 or 2)
But somehow its not working.
I tried also tried to change the variable on run like.

If name. P1castle change team =1
If P2castle change team =2

I print out their team on ready and it prints out 1-2
But the resource it generate only goes to player 1 which is controlled by the team int.

Should i instantiate the castles from a script? And not place them on? Or is this what classes for?

How do you do different teams normaly?

humm, that should work

it should grab the variable set in the inspector

when i look remote i see that the two castle indeed have the correct team

func gather_res():
if team ==1:
Global.Player1_gold += gold_amount
Global.Player1_wood += wood_amount
if team ==2:
Global.Player2_gold += gold_amount
Global.Player2_wood += wood_amount
else:
pass

but this code i dont know why but only works for team =1
team 1 will get double res

if i write team 1 for the player2_gold it then gives the gold to player 2

did you try to print the team variable in that function?

oh the timer signal can be the problem

[lofty harbor]

(You should consider creating a Resource to store those values. You would not need to duplicate variables for each team.)

you could even assign the Resource straight to the castle instead of the team number.

[lofty harbor]

and have the team be part of the team data resource

why is the timer the problem?

[calm cipher]

okay i will look into resources i didnt use them yet

when i print team it prints team 1 twice although i look into the remote and i see the exported variable is 1 and 2

[lofty harbor]

is super simple to create

class_name TeamData
extends Resource

@export var team:int = 0
@export var wood:int = 0
@export var gold:int = 0

and i dont change it anywhere

[calm cipher]

thanks!

[lofty harbor]

that is weird

is the signal maybe connected to the same node?

[calm cipher]

yeah that is the problem

i copied over the timer so its still conected to just the p1

[lofty harbor]

connect in your castle script

so you don't have to worry

works like a charm!

thank you very much! 😄
