A nice example of creating a perpetuating loop.
Whenever a crate is destroyed, the Gamecontroller can be automatically updated.

func updateCrates()->void:
	var totalCrates = 0
	if crates:
		for obj in crates.get_children():
			if obj is Crate:
				if not obj.tree_exited.is_connected(updateCrates):
					obj.tree_exited.connect(updateCrates)
				totalCrates +=1
	
	Gamecontroller.crateTotal(totalCrates)

This is a function that calls itself when a crate leaves the display tree!
