(ANSWERED) How can I hide objects?

0 votes

How can I hide an object so nothing can interact with it, and later show the object and that it can interact again.
How can I do it with a button, is it the same way or do I need something different so the player can not press it when it is hidden?

I have seen this discussed in the QA before. Their solution was to remove it from the node tree.

With buttons you can also use show()/hide(), and there is an Ignore Mouse property on GUI nodes which can be changed with getnode("nodename").set("focus/ignore_mouse", true)

This is an old post, but I was looking for a way to disable hidden buttons too. I ended up testing for visibility at the beginning of the button's function and exiting the function if the button is hidden.

func dostuffonbuttonpress()
if(!self.is_visible()):
return
