Local changes to scene not working?

Question

Hello. Not sure if I’m using the correct words here, but:

  • Have created a scene of a control node (eg, my_button_container.tscn)
  • It has a simple boolean export value
  • I add the tscn to my main game tree
  • I change the boolean
  • The container does not have the boolean I set when I start the game
  • Make local, same problem

In addition, and perhaps related:

  • Changing the visibility in the editor is not respected - only the visibility on the container.tscn is used

This seems so basic that I must be an absolute fool. What on earth am I doing wrong here?

Thank you!

Did you make it a global? Can you share your scene tree perhaps?

Scene’s pretty complex, maybe I’ll work up a small example. Was wondering if there was just something obvious I’m missing.

By ‘make it a global’, do you mean the variable? No, it’s just an instance variable.

“make it global” like the autoload/singleton/globals system; presumably you did not in that case haha

Really tough to say without more info; you can use print_tree_pretty() to get a copy-able text tree, easy to paste into the forum. You’d have to point out which node is the trouble maker though
