Root Cannot Find Children Even Though They Exist

Question

Hi there, I’m new to Godot but not to programming so It’s been pretty smooth sailing working on my project. However, I am a little stumped with my current issue. I am getting the typical “Node not found” issues but they certainly do exist in the scene.

Here are the errors (Ignore the two others and the warnings, I can fix those.):

Here is my Scene:

Here is my Global.gd script attached to my Global node3D:

Here is a reference to almost everything:

The only thing not in the picture is the script for Pause Menu, which’s here, Code/UI/Scenes/Scripts/PauseMenu.gd

Not sure why I am encountering these issues, seems like all is in order, and I’ve done plenty of these references in my code. If I had to guess it’s going to be an issue with the “relative to /root/Global”.

Any words of wisdom?

Any reason they would be deleted or moved in their own _ready functions?

What’s the remote tree look like? (In your screen shot, press the “Remote” button that is left of “Local”)

Is it possible that you have 2 “Global” scripts? One maybe as an autoload, the other on the “Global” node in your main scene.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

indicainkwell was spot on, I had Global.gd as an autoload and on the Global node.

I removed the onready node references from Global.gd. I detached the Global.gd from the Global node, renamed it to Main, and added a new script called Main.gd that I was able to import the nodes into.

Works perfectly now!
