Get node from setter

Shatur

Tell me please, can I access the node from the setter? For example, here's the code that causes an error: export(String, "Human", "Elf") var race setget test

func test(new_value): race = new_value print($Name.text)

Where Name is a children Label in KinematicBody2D from which I call this script.

I think the problem here is that the function test is called when the node is instanced and before the children nodes get instanced. So the children nodes do not exist when this function is called for the first time.

Thanks for the explanation! Could I somehow do a test whether the child nodes are loaded?
