godot 4.5
im new to godot. ive tried searching for answers, cant find it, maybe searching for the wrong thing, but basically theres hidden panels with labels, and i want for one of them to appear when button is pressed, then when the same button is pressed again, i need for another one to appear, and so on. ive tried adding $Panel.show() to on button pressed function, but all of them appear at the same time then.
It’s very difficult to know for sure without seeing any code or your scene tree, but I would probably create an array of Control items (whatever it is you need to show) as an @export, put them in, and keep a counter of which one you showed last time.
For example, you keep an int of currentIndex, when a button is pressed, you can do: array[index].visible = true, then increment that value. Make sure you check for out of range values, so always do a check of how long the array is.
Alternative way to what @tibaverus suggested would be to have this script on all Control nodes you want show in sequence
extends Control
@export var show_after_control: Control
func _ready() -> void:
hide()
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event.is_action_pressed("ui_accept"):
if (show_after_control == null or show_after_control.visible) and not visible:
show()
Then you just need to assign the controls in the inspector which one should be showing after which one control.
And every time the action button is pressed, the new label will show up.
