2. Set the variable by calling the
## Variables
var uuidNode : UUIDManagercreate_new_uuid()
script at _ready()
. The function takes in the parent to add the node to as a child.
extends Node
## Variables
var uuidNode : UUIDManager
func _ready():
uuidNode = MinosUUIDGenerator.create_new_uuid(self)
Usage At Runtime - C#
1. Add a UUIDManagerCSharp
variable in the script you want to store the UUID node in
extends Node
2. Set the variable by calling the
// Variables
public UUIDManagerCSharp uuidNodeCreateNewUUID()
script at _Ready()

uuidNode = MinosUUIDGeneratorCSharp.CreateNewUUID(this)
Set-Up Debugging Options
The MinosUUIDGenerator
script comes with 4 variables for debugging. By default they're set to true.
GDScript:
static var printNewUUID : bool = true
static var printSuccessfulRemoval : bool = true
static var printFailedRemoval : bool = true
static var printNewUUIDNode : bool = true
C#:
static bool printNewUUID = true
static bool printSuccessfulRemoval = true
static bool printFailedRemoval = true
static bool printNewUUIDNode = true
printNewUUID
will print a message when a new UUID is made and it's UUID.printSuccessfulRemoval
will print a message when a UUID is removed as well as the old UUID.printFailedRemoval
will print a message when a UUID was attempted to be removed but couldn't be found in the array.printNewUUIDNode
will print a message when a newUUIDManager
/UUIDManagerCSharp
node is made.
