error "node not found" but path is correct (i think)

Tchey

Hello,

I have a main folder, then folders for scripts, scenes, tilesets, fonts and sprites

In my player.gd When i hit Tab it should open the menu.

if menu: get_node("/root/scenes/univers/gui/menu")._open_menu()

but the game crash and error : Attempt to call function '_open_menu' in base 'null instance' on a null instance. node not found /root/scenes/univers/gui/menu

this is my univers.xscn :

univers -- gui --- menu

What's wrong ?

Unnamed

get_node returns null. The correct path should be "/root/univers/gui/menu"

Why ? univers.xscn is inside /scenes folder.

The games goes first with a splash screen, then a menu, then the univers screen, all inside the same /scenes folder.

Folder? The file folder structure on your hard drive has nothing to do with the node tree structure in your game. They are two totally different things. The "/root" node is a viewport node that the engine creates as the base node for everything in your game. The root directory of your game is "res://", but that is a file path, not a node path.

Haaa... I think i made many mistake related to this... Stupid me.

Thanks
