Question

` I’m following a tutorial series on YouTube for making a proper splashscreen and in the tutorial, they have me use a global script, which this is my first time using. This is the video in question that I’m having problems with for the full context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32h8BR0FqdI

The line where I am encountering the error in the title is at 3:47 on the bottom. Or it reads as follows:

func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
	if event.is_pressed():
		Global.game_controller.change_gui_scene("res://scenes/main_menu.tscn") #Line with error

They had me setup the global script in the project settings and in my game controller script, the part where I assign the variable Global.game_controller to the game controller itself seems to work just fine but this is giving me problems and I can’t figure out why.

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

It means that the “game_controller” is null, try to print it first.

Yeah, printing it says it’s null, but I don’t understand why because in my game controller script, it assigns itself to Global.game_controller on ready. Unless I’m just not understanding how the global script works?
