How to connect a signal in GDScript without specifying the source code.

0 votes

I am making a game where there are multiple buttons on the screen. When clicked they execute a function and then send out a signal. The main code should react in the same way no matter which button is pressed. Seeing as the name of the signal is the same for all of them it would be very convenient to connect this signal in code without specifying from which node it originates. I could not find anything useful in the documentation.
Is this possible?
P.S. Sorry if this is a very basic question but I am just getting started with Godot.

I think you should take custom signals like:

signal test

func onButton1pressed():
emitsignal("test")

func onButton2pressed():
emitsignal("test")

func onNode_test():
print("hello World")
