Scene Tree Introduction | Godot 4

This video provides an introduction to the Scene Tree in Godot 4. The scene tree is the structure which hosts the nodes that make up our game. This video highlights what is the scene tree, its structure, and one of the ways to navigate it.

Probably just out of scope of the video but when talking about nodepaths I always want to drop in a reminder about "Access as unique name" as an alternative. When I first came to Godot everything was explained in context of the scene tree so I didn't find out about that very useful feature until much later than I should have.

Thx for the video. Just started learning Godot4 to try to make a VR game idea based on gorilla tag movement and your videos are very good to learn the basics! Loving your work so far 😊

When would you use an absolute node vs a relative node?

[@JumboGamedev]

If I understand correctly, you are referring to accessing a node using an absolute path vs relative path. Both methods should work fine. Absolute path makes it more clear which node you are referencing, and relative paths are more flexible and easier to maintain (eg. it makes it easier to move parts of the scene tree around without breaking the path to the node).
