How can you change the text of a label to you type in a TextEdit ?

Question

how can you change the text of a label to something you type in a text Box while you are playing ?

Answer 1

One way is to use signals.

Here is an example:

• Create a new scene, with the following node hierarchy:

Root node (Control, Node etc)
|_ TextEdit
|_ Label

• Attach a blank script to any of the three nodes
• Select the TextEdit node, go to the "Node" tab near the "Inspector", and double click the "text_changed" signal
• Select the node which the script was attached in the "Connect to Node" tree
• Click on "Connect"
• Implement the binding function, something along these lines (the exact approach may change depending on the node you attached the script, in my case it was the root node):

    func _on_TextEdit_text_changed():
        var lab = get_node("Label")
        var edit = get_node("TextEdit")
        lab.set_text(edit.get_text())

This will keep the label content synchronized with the typed text.

I don't know if you are still in need of help there, but you'd probably benefit from Singletons (autoload). This technique allows you to store and retrieve data between scenes. See this tutorial for details: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/step_by_step/singletons_autoload.html
