Question

I want to create a UI, let’s say a Label, that doesn’t disappear when I move scenes using get_tree().change_scene_to_file()

as you can see i have 3 scenes, stage 1,2,3 each has a script :
extends Node2D

func _on_button_2_pressed() → void:
get_tree().change_scene_to_file(“res://stage_3.tscn”)

func _on_button_3_pressed() → void:
get_tree().change_scene_to_file(“res://stage_2.tscn”)

is just a simple script that moves from one scene to another. what i want to create is a ui that stay in place when i change scenes

here’s the problem i don’t know how to do it, all i know is i have to change this CanvasLayer to a global variable. of course i can use Instantiate Child Scene for quick solution, but if i had stage1-200, it would be very troublesome.

so if you have any ideas please let me know it would be very helpful,

You can add globals in the project settings, add your canvas layer scene.

Singletons (Autoload)

Alternatively you can create a scene that includes your UI by default, then have all of your other scenes inherit from that scene.
