how to get this area3d.name ? connect signals with parameters in code

Question

func _ready():
    var area3d = Area3D.new()
    area3d.name = "area3dname"
    var coll = CollisionShape3D.new() 
    var boxshape = BoxShape3D.new()
    coll.shape = boxshape 
    area3d.input_event.connect(_on_area_3d_input_event)


func _on_area_3d_input_event(camera, event, position, normal, shape_id): 
    print("i want get the area3d.name")

i want get the area3d.name

Assuming you're going to use this to handle more than one area 3D, you should pass the node in too:

area3d.input_event.connect(_on_area_3d_input_event, [area3d])

And you get an extra parameter:

func _on_area_3d_input_event(camera, event, position, normal, shape_id, area):
    print(area.name)

(assuming area is not null)

thank you ,it's work I'm so grateful.
