so i tried making some sort of document that player will put their input, like a registration or some sort. i wonder if i can, for example take their 'name input' to another scene like dialogues or something.

how do i do this? i tried making the input with richtextlabel instead of label and put another blank label with code that can import those input but ended up failing

any insight on this?

You can access another scene by fetching the scene with load(scene) or preload(scene), and then you can access variables in the nodes of that scene using get_node("path/to/node").variable.

If you have child scenes in a main scene, and you want to access node variables in a different child scene, you can use get_tree().get_root().get_node("root/path/to/node").variable.

I use the second option to access button-states in the GUI for toggling torches for example.

thanks for the response, im using the first methid and working andd i got new problem.

so i'm using the code to make sort of a popup inventory menu, then i make variable that detect player mouse click and area detection for the inventory icon. so when both variable are true, the inventory came out. but the problem is whenever i click the item, the menu closes. i figured that i have to use the second method but i dont quite get it.

im trying to get the area2D variable which detect mouse collision on menu area and it worked on it's own scene. but not when i connect it from main menu scene.

get_tree().get_root().get_node("root/path/to/node").variable.

i have no idea what to write on get_node path.
