Improve the "access as Scene as unique Name"

[Proksimas]

Hello everyone, the "access as Scene as unique Name" is a great idea and very very usefull.
But it doesn't fix a 'user issue' that you have to go in your script, do a onready var my_variable = $"%NameOfTheUniqueNode"

Often when you have about ten nodes that you have to do this, this is annoying.
My proposal is very simple:

It is possible do automatise the onready var my_variable = $"%NameOfTheUniqueNode" directly when you check the" access as scene" and select the node which contains the script target ? Like signals ?

You just have to follow a template which split the NameNode on a user variable
For example:
In the scene Tree:
GroupsQuests
CurrentQuests
ActiveButton

1. RightClick on CurrentQuests node and check "access as Scene as unique Name"
2. Select GroupsQuests (which have a script.gd)
3. automatically create at the beginning of the script: onready var current_quests = $"%CurrentQuests"

What do you think ?
Cheers,
Proksima

You can drag the node into the Script Editor. If you hold down the Ctrl key, the @onready variable will be added.

wow thanks !
I didn't figure that. Maybe improve in documentation that feature is possible ? (or i don't find it...) .
But it doesn't take the $"%MyNode". SO i have to add manually.
Close perfect ;)

Thank you !

At least in 4.0 Scene Unique Names are taken into account.
Perhaps we should add a tooltip to the Scene dock so that more users know about this feature.
