Ok, tell me if I got it right. Your node structure is currently like this:

<span style="color:#323232;">> Map
</span><span style="color:#323232;">>> hexgrid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">>> spawn_objects
</span>

And you want things to happen in this order:

• Hexgrid instantiates the grid and tiles
• spawn_objects will run for certain tiles

If I got it right, then this is a situation where signals are not needed. What I would do:

• On the Hexgrid scene, add spawn_objects as a child node

<span style="color:#323232;">> Hexgrid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">>> spawn_objects
</span>

• Within the Hexgrid script, when the desired tile needs to spawn something, call the function from the node. Either $spawn_objects.spawn_this_thing() or declaring the node as an @onready var spawner = $spawn_objects (…) spawner.spawn_this_thing()

Since you’ll be calling the spawn code from within the hexgrid, you’ll have full access to both nodes’ variables, parameters and functions. If you needed to get a “spawn_here” variable from the parent while within the child, you could use get_parent().spawn_here
