Greets!

Got a scrolling RichTextLabel displaying diferent texts from diferent tiles, but i’d like it to be clear when entering new tiles, instead of adding texts to texts.
What should i write please?

To reset the text of a RichTextLabel to be something else, you can assign the text property:

rich_text_label.text = "new text"

or if you use bbcode, use the bbcode_text property:

rich_text_label.bbcode_text = "new text"

Or "" if you want it to be empty, which does the same as clear().

Cheeeeeeeeeers!

You want the clear function. To use it, you’ll need access to the RichTextLabel node. Assuming it has the default name and is a child of the scene root node, this will work:

$RichTextLabel.clear()
