I'm sorry I can't manage to post it without the code looking like shite...

Btw i'm calling start from another node and the $ProgressBar works just fine !

Hi everyone !

I'm trying to update an alpha variable on the modulate of my Label. Unforunately it absolutely doesn't work ! the letters just popo out of existance and actually never go back to hiding. The code is really simple so i'm baffled !

Here it is :

extends Control

var start = false
var title_count = 0
var alpha = 0

func _ready():
await get_tree().create_timer(0.2).timeout
$Label.text = get_parent().get_parent().level_text

func _process(delta):
if start == true :
$ProgressBar.value = title_count * 2
if title_count >= 100 and title_count < 200 :
alpha = (title_count - 100) / 100
$Label.set_modulate(Color(1,1,1,alpha))
if title_count > 300 :
alpha = (title_count - 300) / 100
$Label.set_modulate(Color(1,1,1, 100 - alpha))
$ProgressBar.value = 100 - ((title_count - 300) * 2)
$ProgressBar.fill_mode = 1
if title_count > 600 : start = false
title_count += 1

Thanks for taking a look !

Hi everyone !

I'm trying to change a global variable (of an upgrade) through another node.
I have an upgrade menu in which there are many of them and each have and export variable written as upgrade = "speed_upgrade", or upgrade = "bomb_upgrade". I'd love to have my Global script get that name, find the variable with the same name and update it.
What i'd love is to find a way to transfer the upgrade var from my UI (to know which is selected) to my Global (easy, just have another upgrade var in Global) and then find that variable by name in my Global and update, like this :

Global.upgrade = upgrade
Global.get(upgrade) += 1

Unfortunately, only the first line works (because obviously the second line finds what's stored in the variable and tries to update it... nowhere ?

I hope it's not to confusing. Thanks so much for the time.

Have a good one !

Hello ! New to the forum (as an asker) but I'd really love some help ! Touching both of my enemies (based on a similar code) on a special spot (center top or center bottom) makes them disappear ! They do not go through the "dying" phase and they just disappear from the game (a line making a += 1 on my batteries while alive confirms it). The problem is I don't see a queue_free susceptible to erase them anywhere ! I'll share my code with you lovely people still and wish upon a star some gentle and smart soul comes and save me from this 2 weeks nightmare.
Thank you so much !
