Question

i’m watching a tutorial by BornCG on how to make a coin counter

var coin_num = 0

func _ready():
$CoinNumber.text = String(coin_num)

coin_number is the name of my label node
when i use this code i get the error “nonexistent ‘string’ conductor”

You could use the str(coin_num) function

If the name of the node is coin_number then you should use:

$coin_number.text = value

The name after the $ needs to match the case/spelling of the node name.

That’s an old Godot 3 syntax. In Godot 4, use str(coin_num).
