Hi!, I am making an editor plugin, but I cannot access the functions of a custom node (that extends Node3D)
In the next code:
print(entity.has_method("get_connections"))
entity.get_connections()
the first line displays true
but the next line displays the error Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'get_connections' in base 'Node3D (Entity3D)'.
I also tried with (entity as Entity3D).get_connections() with the same result
Am I missing something?
So this get_connections() method is something you’ve added to your extended node? Because a Node3D doesn’t have a get_connections() method.
If that’s the case, maybe post the relevant code that extends Node3D?
BTW, a Signal does have an in-built get_connections() method…

Yes, is a method I’ve in the Entity3D script
This is the code of Entity3D:
extends Node3D
class_name Entity3D
func get_connections():
var connections = []
for child in get_children():
if child.get_script() is PuzzleInput and child.exposed:
connections.append({ "input": child as PuzzleInput, "connections": child.get_connections()})

A quick, simple test seems to indicate this works as intended. First, an Entity3D script (a stripped down version of your code above):
extends Node3D
class_name Entity3D
func get_connections():
print("called get_connections")
Then, from another node’s script…
func _ready():
var entity = Entity3D.new()
print(entity.has_method("get_connections"))
entity.get_connections()
Output:
true
called get_connections
How are you getting your entity reference in the code you posted above?
