Grid Item_Dropped signal only giving weakref for item?

[Karbonicc]

Hi, I'm trying to use the item_dropped signal on the Grid inventory, however, the "item" field of the signal only gives a weak reference to the connect script, which doesn't allow me to get any information from the item itself. Am I doing something wrong?

For instance, using print(item) on the inventory_item_activated(item:var) signal gives something like "@node@43:<Node#94774496325>"
while using print(item) on item_dropped(item:var, offset:var) only gets something like "<WeakRef#-9223371906797793584>"

You should still be able to access the InventoryItem via WeakRef.get_ref (bare in mind that it can return null - see the docs for WeakRef) . Something like:

var item_node: InventoryItem = item.get_ref()
if item_node == null:
    return
# do something with item_node

I used weak references here, since in cases where the item is dropped into another inventory, there's the possibility of it being "consumed" if it gets merged with another item. In that case the weak reference will contain null.

Gotcha! Thanks so much for the quick response! Really great work on this addon, by the way!
