How do I move a variable from node to node

I_need_player_pos

Sorry dumb question but how do I move a var from my player to my enemy script?

I_need_player_pos You can also right-click a Node, check Access Unique Name

And then in the code: %Player.health

You don't "move" variables. Variables are local to a script. You can either define a new variable in the other script. You you can access a variable from any other script. For example.

var player = get_parent().get_node("Player")
var player_health = player.health

Oh yeah, I forgot that was added.

cybereality Same, I still haven't used it. Now that I posted it here I'll refactor some things to take advantage of this.

I always cache my nodes, so it's not a huge deal. However, for UI and deeply nested stuff, this will be great.
