Initializing class member variables can be quite of a hassle, code such as this is common in GDScript: The 'onready' keyword allows initialization of class member variables at the same time when _ready is called, saving some code: But doing this for autoloaded scenes can still be a hassle, as it has to be done every time a script is created.
