extends Control
func _ready():
pass
export(bool) var ShowFutureDesignObjects = false #change to true to show future design objects
var FutureObjects = ["Node1", "Node2", "Node3", "Node4"]
func ShowFutureDesign():
for Obj in FutureObjects:
if ShowFutureDesignObjects == false:
get_node(Obj).visible.hide
else:
get_node(Obj).show
You never call the function ShowFutureDesign(). Try calling it from the func _ready() function
It’s .hide() and .show(), actually, not .hide and .show
Make sure the get_node() method gets called on the right node. If you try to access the nodes from a subnode, you might have to use the get_parent().get_node(Obj) method or something equivalent.
Hello, thanks for the comment.
You write :
get_node(Obj).visible.hide
but shouldn’t it be:
get_node(Obj).hide
Yes, I actually had them both get_node(Obj).hide, but I was trying to illustrate it’s a visible property.
Also, I don’t know why this array of yours has strings as members.
That’s a good point, get_node looks for the name of the node by string.
ie. get_node("LabelName")

OK, I found what the problem is.
Basically, three things:
You never call the function ShowFutureDesign(). Try calling it from the func _ready() function
It’s .hide() and .show(), actually, not .hide and .show
Make sure the get_node() method gats called on the right node. If you try to access the nodes from a subnode, you might have to use the get_parent().get_node(Obj) method. or something equivalent.
I have updated the answer to this. If this is the right answer, please mark it as best so that others can find it too.

JohnnyGames Wow, It works!
Thank you so much I had been struggling with this.
I didn’t need the get_parent; however I am glad you said that because I had been trying get_root().get_node()
get_children
etc. etc. etc.
Final working code is:
func _ready():
ShowFutureDesign()
export(bool) var ShowFutureDesignObjects = false #change to true to show future design objects
var FutureObjects = ["StockName", "StockSymbol", "Search", "ExtCostBasisLabel"]
func ShowFutureDesign():
for Obj in FutureObjects:
if ShowFutureDesignObjects == false:
get_node(Obj).hide()
else:
get_node(Obj).show()
