Question

I’m trying to make an app and I need to switch scenes on the click of a button, but when it’s run it’s as if the button is instantly pressed and the scene is instantly switched. I’m using the _on_button_pressed connection and when it’s pressed it returns true and in _process, it checks if each _on_button_pressed function returns true, and will then switch scenes, and the switching seems to work.

This is not how these methods work, you just return true, signals don’t work like this

You need to instead have a variable that’s set when pressed, or just check if the button is pressed with the pressed property

Or just put the code for each in the callback, like so:

func _on_first_button_pressed():
	Global.transition_scene = true
	change_scenes(“res://first.tscn”, “first”)

func _on_second_button_pressed():
	Global.transition_scene = true
	change_scenes(“res://second.tscn”, “second”)

func _on_third_button_pressed():
	Global.transition_scene = true
	change_scenes(“res://third.tscn”, “third”)

func _on_fourth_button_pressed():
	Global.transition_scene = true
	change_scenes(“res://fourth.tscn”, “fourth”)

func _on_fifth_button_pressed():
	Global.transition_scene = true
	change_scenes(“res://fifth.tscn”, “fifth”)

The method is called when the button is pressed, it doesn’t give any information, it’s just a method

Ok that makes a lot of sense, thanks.
