Can't get a particular UI node

Satscape

Hi all, I'm trying to access a specific UI node, but it doesn't seem to exist (it's null)I let Godot do the code completion for me on the get_node("...  so it finds it ok there, but when it's running, it's not finding it:[code]var test1=get_node("Panel/VBoxContainer/TabContainer/GeneralInfo/vbGeneral")var test2=get_node("Panel/VBoxContainer/TabContainer/GeneralInfo/vbGeneral/HBoxContainer")  [/code]test1 is a VBoxContainer objecttest2 is nullthe tree looks like this:[img width=290 height=343]http://i.imgur.com/Llb5JwG.png[/img]also tried using an absolute path:[code]var test3=get_node("/root/World/guiBuilding/Panel/VBoxContainer/TabContainer/GeneralInfo/vbGeneral")  var test4=get_node("/root/World/guiBuilding/Panel/VBoxContainer/TabContainer/GeneralInfo/vbGeneral/HBoxContainer") [/code]Again, test3 is a VBoxContainer object, correct!test4 is null :-(Also, vbGeneral's .get_child_count() is returning 0 children, but the tree is showing it has 2 children, "HBoxContainer" and "Label"I've tried this using the May 13th Official build and a build I made myself today (17th June). Same results.Is this a bug in Godot or am I am doing something wrong here?Thanks!

I tried to duplicate the issue and it worked correctly.  I attached an image of my tree.  Try to duplicate the problem in a simple project.  If you can get it to happen share it via the githubs or whatnot.Here's my code:[code]extends CenterContainerfunc _ready(): var test1= get_node("Panel/TabContainer/ScrollContainer/VBoxContainer") print("test1 = " + str(test1)) var test2= get_node("Panel/TabContainer/ScrollContainer/VBoxContainer/HBoxContainer") print("test2 = " + str(test2))[/code]Here's the output[code]test1 = [VBoxContainer:533]test2 = [HBoxContainer:534][/code]

Thanks, I re-created in a new project and sure enough it worked ok. I'll try recreating the two child nodes (and their children) in my original project to see if that fixes the problem.

This is just a guess, but your issue probably stemmed from your code(get_node) executing before the node actually existed/was created in the run-time scene.
