Here’s a working sample. You’ll need to modify it as appropriate to fit your needs.

First, create a new, simple scene containing the following:

Node2D
    Label

Next, attach the following script to the Node2D

extends Node2D

var counter = 0

func _process(delta):
	counter += 1
	$Label.text = "Counter: %s" % counter

In each frame, that’ll increment the value of the counter variable and then put it in the Label, formatted as Counter: #.
