Is it possible to make a child of an invisible Node2D visible, independent of the parent?
Make child visible while parent invisible
Not that I know of.
The simplest is to introduce an additional parent node and/or hide not the entire parent scene, but only the objects in it.

maybe you can use self_modulate to set the parent visibility.
like this:
parent.visible = false == parent.self_modulate.a = 0.0
Can you explain more about what you are doing? This seems like a strange use case. Meaning, logically, if the 2 Nodes should be independent (in respect to the visibility) then it doesn't make sense that they have a parent child relationship.

vmjcv maybe you can use self_modulate to set the parent visibility.
like this:
parent.visible = false == parent.self_modulate.a = 0.0
I think that should be:
parent.visible = true
parent.self_modulate.a = 0.0If parent.visible is false, then the child will not be visible.
You can use an empty parent, except for the child node. Or, you can disable the visibility of any geometry of the parent.

I mean if he controls the visibility of the parent node through parent.visible.
Then he can be equivalently replaced with parent.self_modulate
