I have an instancied RigidBody:

var obj = obj_scene.instance()
obj.set_global_pos(Vector2(rand_range(120,905),-30))

has you can see i do some changes in is global position.
But i want access the sprite of the RigidBody to change his color or alpha. but after some research and tries, have no succeed.

thanks in advance!

To access child objects you use the get_node("node_name") function.
This is a function from the Node object. So very node objects can use it.
What you have to do is:

var obj = obj_scene.instance()
obj.set_global_pos(Vector2(rand_range(120,905),-30))
obj.get_node("Sprite").set_opacity ( float opacity ) #for the opacity
obj.set_modulate ( Color modulate ) #for the color

because you only can acces children with the get_node() function you have use the root “prefix”: get_node("/root/firstNodeInNodeTree/MyParentNode/TheNodeIWantToAcces")
to acces any node in your current scene. The advantage is that you can have nodes with the same name in a scene if they do have different parents.

haha, so simple! thanks!
