How can I switch on/off the visibility of a global scene?

Question

Hello!

I need a global scene in my 2D game, therefore I made this to global in AutoLoad tab. But in this case this scene always visible, therefore I set its visibility to false in its _ready() function.
But how can I switch it back when I want to see again this scene?
I try this from the Start button of the title scene:

extends Button

onready var palya=preload("res://palya1.tscn")

func _process(delta):
    if Input.is_mouse_button_pressed(BUTTON_LEFT):
        var p=palya.instance()
        add_child(p)
        p.visible=true
        get_tree().change_scene("res://palya1.tscn")

but nothing happen. I use Godot engine 3.3. Somebody can help me?

You are creating a new scene instead of using your global scene. You can access your global scenes or scripts with their name. If your autoloaded scene name is palya1 then doing palya1.visible = true should be enough.

Hello Enfyna and thanks for your answer, but in this case I get a packed scene error message.
But I think, I forgot write "gettree().getroot()" before "add_child()"...

How did you write your code ? What is your global scene name ? If your global scene name is palya then this should work :

extends Button

func _process(delta):
    if Input.is_mouse_button_pressed(BUTTON_LEFT):
        palya.visible=true

You dont add_child a global scene because it is already added.
