Trying to create transition animations on button press using global script (through this tutorial), but this error comes up. I think it has something to do with the node layout in the code but not quite sure what. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello,
newb myself in godot, I use animations and modulate for my transitions, but don't you have to get_node("transition") to start it?

Btw, how do you have that transition node with your animation?

Do you mean just replacing getnode("AnimationPlayer").play("fade") with getnode("transition").play("fade")?

It doesn't seem to work, perhaps the tutorial is outdated

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, do you mean the renamed CanvasLayer or the transition animation in AnimationPlayer?
