getting a node from a variable

Hi All

I'm trying to get a node from a variable, but i get an error msg.

For example: I have several nodes (Textured buttons) named item1, item2, item3...

Then i have a loop like this:

for i in range (8): slot = "item" + str(i) get_node(slot).set_normal_texture("res://"+item+".png")

I've got a message saying that cannot convert argument from string to object

Does anybody how can i cast a string to object?

Thanks in advance

You will need to use load(String).

    slot = "item" + str(i)
    get_node(slot).set_normal_texture(load("res://"+item+".png"))```

Thank you!!! It worked fine for me.
