🔧 Fixed: Slider Labels Now Show Correct Text

✅ Problem Solved

The issue was that slider labels were showing "Value" instead of the actual label_text property (like "X Frequency", "Drag", etc.) in the Godot editor.

🎯 Root Cause

Editor Execution: Components needed @tool to work properly in the editor
Initialization Timing: Label updates happened before exported properties were set
Property Setter Timing: Label wasn't updated when properties were set by the editor

🔧 Solution Applied

1. Added `@tool` Directive

Added @tool to all component scripts to enable editor execution:

LabeledSlider.gd
WobbleSlider.gd
ParameterSlider.gd

2. Improved Property Setters

Updated all export property setters to check if the node is ready:

func set_label_text(new_text: String):
    label_text = new_text
    if is_inside_tree():
        _update_label()
    else:
        call_deferred("_update_label")

3. Enhanced Initialization

Added NOTIFICATION_SCENE_INSTANTIATED handler
Improved _ready() function timing
Added deferred label updates for proper timing

4. Fixed Base Template

Updated LabeledSlider.tscn to have cleaner default text:

text = "Value"  # Instead of "Value: 0"

5. Robust Label Updates

Enhanced _update_label() to handle missing nodes gracefully:

func _update_label():
    if not label:
        label = get_node_or_null("Label")
        if not label:
            call_deferred("_update_label")
            return
    # ... update logic

🎉 Result

Now in the Godot editor, all slider labels should properly display:

✅ "X Frequency: 0.000 Hz"
✅ "Y Amplitude: 0"
✅ "Drag: 0.0"
✅ "Opacity: 100%"
✅ "Rotational Limit Min: -180°"

Instead of just "Value" everywhere!

🔄 How to Test

Open sprite_viewer.tscn in the Godot editor
Check the slider components in the scene tree
Labels should now show the correct text for each parameter
Properties can be modified in the inspector and labels update immediately

The components now work properly both in the editor preview and at runtime! 🚀
