func doesnt accept root path .value .value .value

jonSS

hello, Is there a way to insert 3 paths in a function ?

i can use the path with one dot at end ----> .up1 ( its a vector2 ) ex: complete path --- root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1 ---

func _boneMove(btn_name, root_path ):

		if ( Input.is_action_pressed('mouse_button') ):
			
			btn_name.rect_global_position = get_global_mouse_position();
			
			root_path.up1 =  btn_name.rect_position; #<<---------it-works---


_boneMove(Btn_Up1, root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9 );

but i cant use 3 paths in the function ?

    func _boneMove(btn_name, root_path ):
    
    		if ( Input.is_action_pressed('mouse_button') ):
    			
    			btn_name.rect_global_position = get_global_mouse_position();
    			
    			root_path =  btn_name.rect_position;


 _boneMove(Btn_Up1, root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1  ); #<<-----it-doesnt-work------

this way root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9 its working

but this way root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1 its no longer working, the bone doesnt follow btn_name

iam doing something wrong ?

Try printing: root1.Fnum[animFrame] root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9

That will tell you the class of the item being printed, so you can determine what its properties are. For example, is up1 a property of root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9?

When you say "doesn't work", are there error or warning messages?

I manage to get it working by using return ( btn_name.rect_position )
then in physics process: root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1 = boneMove( btn_name )_

but i would still perfer if i could do the entire path.... if it works with root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9 it should also work with root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1

maybe when the value root1.Fnum[animFrame].pt9.up1 is paste on to the function it stay inside the func new variable root_path

maybe in btn_name if i use func boneMove( btn_name.rect_global_position , root_path )... instead of... boneMove( btn_name , root_path )....

the btn position wont change, still havent tried
