is there any reason that calling this would return null instance? i mean there's always a scene.. yet that's what im getting.

var context = get_tree().get_current_scene().get_name()

If your node is not in the tree (not a child of anything), then get_tree will be null and the expression will throw a NullRef error

Thank you for your comment! But when I try it it doesn't give me the name of the scene but the name of the node...

you can just use .name to get the name of the node

get_tree().get_current_scene().name
