Groups in Godot

Groups are a tool that allows you to assign ‘tags’ to scenes sharing a similar behaviour or needing to be accessed together in Godot

Managing Groups

Adding and removing nodes form a group can be done in two ways:

• Through the Node → Groups tab in the editor
• With add_to_group() and remove_from_group()

Working with the Groups

Groups are useful because they provide two key functionalities:

• The ability to get all members of the group from the whole SceneTree
get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("<group>")
• The ability to call a function of every member of the group.
  get_tree().call_group("<group>", "function_name"
