How to show/hide a Patch9Frame

Question

So, i have like a panel (patch9frame) which shows when the player enters an area
I want to control it from another script so i used get_node(path)
I accesed it with .and i wrote the show()keyword
Like get_node(path).show()
But i got an error
"Attempt to call function 'show' in base 'null instance' on a null instance."
Is there any other way i can show/hide a patch9frame?

Then like Zylann said your node path is incorrect.

Here are some example from the documentation.
http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_node.html?highlight=get_node

You also can right click the node and select Copy Node Path, and paste it in your script.

Answer 2

Also make sure your node path is correct. If you are unsure about an error in the debugger, have a look at the system console too, it sometimes contains more info ;)

In the system console:
ERROR: Node not found: Player
In the debugger:
Node not found: Player

Yup, so the path is wrong, fix it :p
