I’ve been trying to use get.node() at the …/…/RichTextLabel node on the instanced …/Animation node, but I keep getting null instance errors. I have tried for example
get.node(".../AnimationPlayer").play("fade")
and
get_tree().get_root().get.node(".../AnimationPlayer").play("fade")
and that fails as well.
This is interesting because it is tied to a key input which doesn’t work here but triggers the animation when pressing keys while on the Main Menu. The animation also works fine when tested via AnimationPlayer. So dunno why it specifically refuses to trigger in this instance. I have also tried to switch to a
get_node(".../PopupPanel").popup()
which would host a button to trigger the same animation but this causes the same null instance error.
It seems to me to be linked from the fact that I’m doing it from a …/…/Node (grandchild node??) or from the fact that AnimationPlayer is instanced though that doesn’t explain why it happened to the PopupPanel too.
Apologies for the influx of questions, this issue has probably hounded me the longest. Thanks for any advice
