Signals/ recievers in c#

Looking for the code to connect 2 scripts via signal reciever.
I know theres a way of doing it programatically but I've forgotten :S

Basically connect script A to script B via emit signal from A then call the signal method within script B.

I'd want a button generated through code to call an _On_ButtonPressed(){ method here } within a different script.

Any help would be great and I can add it to the answers once tested and confiirmed.

Connect signal from node to pass onto main node:

create signal at the top of the c# file:

[Signal]
 public delegate void mysig();

in ready section:

this.Connect("mysig",GetTree().GetRoot().GetNode<Node2D>("Node2D"),"on_mysig");

Emit the signal:

EmitSignal("mysig");

Catch it with main node: Node 2d.

Node2D script should have a method at the bottom as follows:

public void on_mysig(){
    GD.Print("caught mysig");

This prints to console that it has recieved "mysig"

pending update to spell it out and hopefully streamline the get node get tree path section

script self connect:

var nodeWanted = GetNode<Type>("WhatIsCalled"):

nodeWanted.Connect("name of the signal to catch", what's catching it ie this, "function name");

public void functionName(){

function stuff

}
