Hi Yann, I was wondering why in the ready functions we use self.get_path() (the path) instead of just using self (the object reference)?

Honestly, it was because using globals everywhere makes me nervous so I automatically put in an extra step to stop myself using them without thinking. You could very easily use .self and it’d work fine :slight_smile:

I’ve pushed a quick update to this video so that people don’t have to use get_node() every time they use a global. Seems the extra step wasn’t making anyone happy!
