I have a control that has a bunch of buttons. I need that every button have a variable that I will assign once and never will be changed (an ID). Now I have this implemented by creating a new scene (IdButton) that ineriths from Button and has an exported var:

extends Button

export (int) var id

All my buttons are not from Button type, but IdButton type and they have a new Id variable that I can use in the editor.

There is no really a problem with that, just that I think that it's not very clean to have a new scene and a new script just to have an exported variable. Is there any better method to implement this?

Hi,

The Object's instance id is not suitable for what you want?

No, the ID comes from a server so I have to be able to set this ID (cannot use a generated ID)
