Errors when instantiating `FmodEventEmitter2D` in globally loaded `_ready` script when using `should_load_by_name`

[eghernqvist]

I have implemented a global autoload which instantiates the FmodBankLoader and a music event emitter. This works fine, the music plays, I am able to change parameters, all the good stuff - but the debugger is spammed with errors seemingly hinting at the event emitter trying to load an empty value of both event_name and event_guid.

When inspecting via breakpoint in the script which instantiates the event emitter, the event_name parameter is indeed undefined, but event_guid is set properly.

I have worked around this by disabled the should_load_by_name option.

Here's a screenshot of the emitter node, which shows both name and guid is set:

The auto loaded global `gdscript` instantiating the node

# AudioController
extends Node

var audio_nodes_scene = preload("res://Audio/audio_nodes.tscn")
var master_music_system_scene = preload("res://Audio/master_music_system.tscn")
var audio_nodes = audio_nodes_scene.instantiate()
var fmod_bank: FmodBankLoader = audio_nodes.get_node("FmodBankLoader")
var master_music_system: FmodEventEmitter2D

func _ready() -> void:
	audio_nodes = audio_nodes_scene.instantiate()
	fmod_bank = audio_nodes.get_node("FmodBankLoader")
	master_music_system = master_music_system_scene.instantiate()
	add_child(audio_nodes)
	audio_nodes.add_child(master_music_system)
	print(master_music_system.event_name) # ""
	print(master_music_system.event_guid) # "{0bd118....}"
