I'm trying to interact with all sorts of objects - chests/NPC's/signs etc. I created a chest that I could interact with, however I think my approach was the wrong one. I essentially put the unique code into the chest, rather than creating a lot of the interaction via signals or something?
Sorry I'm still so new so I find it hard to explain things...
I asked ChatGpt and it wanted me to "create an interactable base class or script that all interactive objects inherit from"

an interactable base class does make sense, but for more complex games you might wanna have it be a component instead if you want something to be both interactblae and do somethin gelse

Thanks for the response! Would you happen to have any resources that might be beginner friendly to setup this sort of system?
I think I need to watch someone do it first for it to make sense what I'm trying to build...

try looking up tutorials on youtube for it
either just an interaction tutorial or an inheritance and composition tutorial

Ok thanks I'll have another look. I did try a few but I just got more confused. It's hard to find someone who explains things for beginners like Brackeys 😥

most of these tutorials assume basic godot and gdscript knowledge

Yeah I think you're right
