I’m trying to hide a sprite by changing its transparency. I see that a Sprite’s CanvasItem component has a Color() function, and that the last value controls alpha, so I’m trying to do something like:
var canItem = GetNode("CanvasItem")
canItem.Color(1,1,1,0.5)
This doesn’t work. How do I access the CanvasItem?

You can see the available properties and methods of CanvasItem here:
As you can see “Color” is not a property.
If you want to use transparency as in your example, you need to set the modulate property:
canItem.modulate = Color(1, 1, 1, 0.5).
If you’re just interested in transparency you can do canItem.modulate.a = 0.5.
There’s also a self_modulate counterpart if you don’t want the same effect applied to all of that Node’s children.
