I'm making a puzzle game and I need two pieces that look like they fit together (like a DVI port and DVI plug). I want them to be two separate scenes because I want to place and animate them separately.

What's a good way to set this up to make it easy to edit them and keep their shapes in sync?

  1. Put each half in its own scene (A and B).
  2. Place both in a scene that's just for editing them (E). This is a normal scene that you don't spawn in gameplay.
  3. Edit them in scene E.
  4. On the instances of A and B:
    1. "Make Local".
      • This severs the relationship to the saved scene.
    2. "Save Branch as Scene" and overwrite original.
      • This recreates the relationship to the saved scene and updates the scene file.

    \$\begingroup\$ To be clear, it is called "Make Local" in Godot 4 too. As far as I can tell "Discard Instancing" was renamed to "Make Local" in Godot 3.1. Addendum: this is the pull request for the rename github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/19729 \$\endgroup\$
