Pre-parsed scene tree path.
|
|
</brief_description>
|

<description>
|
|
A pre-parsed relative or absolute path in a scene tree, for use with [method Node.get_node] and similar functions. It can reference a node, a resource within a node, or a property of a node or resource. For instance, [code]"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:size"[/code] would refer to the [code]size[/code] property of the [code]texture[/code] resource on the node named [code]"Sprite"[/code] which is a child of the other named nodes in the path.
|
|
You will usually just pass a string to [method Node.get_node] and it will be automatically converted, but you may occasionally want to parse a path ahead of time with [NodePath] or the literal syntax [code]@"path"[/code]. Exporting a [NodePath] variable will give you a node selection widget in the properties panel of the editor, which can often be useful.
|
|
A [NodePath] is composed of a list of slash-separated node names (like a filesystem path) and an optional colon-separated list of "subnames" which can be resources or properties.

|
Creates a NodePath from a string, e.g. [code]"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:size"[/code]. A path is absolute if it starts with a slash. Absolute paths are only valid in the global scene tree, not within individual scenes. In a relative path, [code]"."[/code] and [code]".."[/code] indicate the current node and its parent.
|
|
The "subnames" optionally included after the path to the target node can point to resources or properties, and can also be nested.
|
|
Examples of valid NodePaths (assuming that those nodes exist and have the referenced resources or properties):
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Points to the Sprite node
|
|
"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite"
|
|
# Points to the Sprite node and its "texture" resource.
|
|
# get_node() would retrieve "Sprite", while get_node_and_resource()
|
|
# would retrieve both the Sprite node and the "texture" resource.
|
|
"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture"
|
|
# Points to the Sprite node and its "position" property.
|
|
"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:position"
|
|
# Points to the Sprite node and the "x" component of its "position" property.
|
|
"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:position:x"
|
|
# Absolute path (from "root")
|
|
"/root/Level/Path2D"

|
|
Returns a node path with a colon character ([code]:[/code]) prepended, transforming it to a pure property path with no node name (defaults to resolving from the current node).
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# This will be parsed as a node path to the "x" property in the "position" node
|
|
var node_path = NodePath("position:x")
|
|
# This will be parsed as a node path to the "x" component of the "position" property in the current node
|
|
var property_path = node_path.get_as_property_path()
|
|
print(property_path) # :position:x

Returns all subnames concatenated with a colon character ([code]:[/code]) as separator, i.e. the right side of the first colon in a node path.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var nodepath = NodePath("Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:load_path")
|

print(nodepath.get_concatenated_subnames()) # texture:load_path

Gets the node name indicated by [code]idx[/code] (0 to [method get_name_count]).
|

[codeblock]

var node_path = NodePath("Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite")
|

print(node_path.get_name(0)) # Path2D

print(node_path.get_name(1)) # PathFollow2D

<method name="get_name_count">

<description>
|
|
Gets the number of node names which make up the path. Subnames (see [method get_subname_count]) are not included.
|
|
For example, [code]"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite"[/code] has 3 names.

var node_path = NodePath("Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:load_path")

<description>
|
|
Gets the number of resource or property names ("subnames") in the path. Each subname is listed after a colon character ([code]:[/code]) in the node path.
|
|
For example, [code]"Path2D/PathFollow2D/Sprite:texture:load_path"[/code] has 2 subnames.

<method name="is_absolute">

<description>
|
|
Returns [code]true[/code] if the node path is absolute (as opposed to relative), which means that it starts with a slash character ([code]/[/code]). Absolute node paths can be used to access the root node ([code]"/root"[/code]) or autoloads (e.g. [code]"/global"[/code] if a "global" autoload was registered).
