I'm trying to add a death count to the end screen of my game, but the richtextlabel won't change.

Question

I've been trying to change a richtextlabel in a singleton. I've done this successfully for an almost identical system. The example in the bottom of the image works. The one on the top is the one I'm having issues with. Am I doing something wrong? The only issue I can see is the node being an area instead of a body.

Comments

what exactly is not working?
does the code enter the _on_respawn_area_entered() section?

---

No errors, nothing in debugger code. I meant to say the text wouldn't change; if I change set the text in the editor to 0, it says 0. Yes, the code enters the onrespawnareaentered() section.

Now neither of them work

sorry but you have a print("death count") line inside the _on_respawn_area_entered(), and you said nothing is displayed in the debug.
this is quite a strong evidence that piece of code is NOT being executed, meaning _on_respawn_area_entered() is not called, or am i wrong?

Answer 1

You mean no error shows up, no issue in debugger console, just no text appears ?
Did You disable BBCode for both of those Rich text labels ?

Now neither if them work
