I just want to set text , but I encounter this error first.
I think the code was correct , but I have no idea , how this happen?

my tree
-Dialog
|-BG
-|-TextLabel

This is the code. 

self.get_node("BG/TextLabel").text = "omg hax"

Error 

get_node: Node not found: BG/TextLabel.

this can happen before _ready() is called.
did you use export var for setting message?
can't say what exact problem is with just 1 line of code.

who is self?
get_node is likely not pointing to the correct address, try with "/root/Dialog/BG/TextLabel"
