Question
Hi, I am having a big issue with my code:

extends Node

signal player_initialised

var player

func _process(delta):
if not player:
initialise_player()
return

func initialise_player():
player = get_tree().get_root().get_node(“root/World/Player”)
if not player:
return

emit_signal("player_initialised", player)

player.inventory.connect("inventory_changed", self, "_on_player_inventory_changed")

var existing_inventory = load("user://inventory.tres")
if existing_inventory:
	player.inventory.set_items(existing_inventory.get_items())
else:
	player.inventory_add_item('Sword', 3)

func _on_player_inventory_changed(inventory):
ResourceSaver.save(“user://inventory.tres”, inventory)

The error message is in the title. I have tried removing the /root part and that doesn’t work. I am having issues with this.

please provide a screenshot of your node tree

$"/root/Test/MyControl/MyButton".text = "Hello, world!"

If you have not done so, check out the NodePath page below. /root is the equivalent of get_tree().get_root()

Could you not use player = self?
