GUI Overlay Load

totoro

Hi, first post newbie...

I'm wondering about loading a scene, then using script loading a GUI scene on top each time, is this possible and how? Thanks

Doing a little research, would I use something like the following? https://godotengine.org/qa/24773/how-to-load-and-change-scenes

I believe you are asking about this: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/io/background_loading.html

Or are you asking about how to load a scene underneath a GUI/HUD?

Thanks, I'll take a look at that too...

Here's where I got:

[code]

# Add overlay GUI
var next_level_resource = load("res://OverlayMenu.tscn")
var next_level = next_level_resource.instance()
root.add_child(next_level)

print(next_level.name)
print(get_path_to(next_level))

var s_path = get_path_to(next_level)
var o = get_node(s_path)
#root.remove_child(o)
o.queue_free()

[/code]

It's not really this, even though I suppose it could be actually!

Either way, it's a better way of scene loading than I currently use, thanks
