Reference Generator Addon

Tool to generate and update node and class references for GDScripts.

Installation

Copy the reference_generator folder into the addons folder, or use my plugin manager:

gopm install https://github.com/Jummit/referencer-addon.git

Usage

To generate node references, select the nodes you want to reference and execute the tool option under Editor > Tools > Generate Node References. This will copy the references to the clipboard, which you can then paste in your script.

Example:

onready var _referenced_node: Sprite = $Path/To/Node

To update the references if you moved or renamed a node, you can copy the references in your script and execute the Update Node References option. You can then update the references inside your script with the clipboard.

Class references can be generated by opening the class in the script editor and executing the Generate Class Reference option. You can then paste the reference inside your script.

Example:

const ReferencedClass = preload("res://path/to/script.gd")
