Sander van Dragt's Notes

  #til In #Godot when you attach a node with a scale as a child of one that doesn't support scale (Node vs Node2D for example), there is a flicker as the card is rescaled. Convert the node to a scale supporting type to fix this.

  #til In Godot, if a scene is instantiated at design time and a child is added to it, does the child belongs to the scene whose tree is currently open, or the scene it's attached to?

  When duplicating a node (including a scene) at runtime it is the node tree where the node sits that is duplicated, so it includes the child. But if the scene is marked as a InstancePlaceholder, and create_instance() is called at runtime, it creates a instance of the scene, and any attached children have to be duplicated and attached to the instance with code. #Godot

  #til In Godot, when you have a project containing a node MyNode that is a scene itself, and MyNode contains two child nodes within the scene and one is added as a child of MyNode in the project, the number of get_children() that a script belonging to the root node of the MyNode scene returns is 3. #godot
