How to set tooltip through code?

[surreal estuary]

How do you set a tooltip on a node? is it only on control nodes? I'm trying this out but it's not working:

var control := counter.label.get_node("MarginContainer/Control") as Control
control.hint_tooltip = str(counter.mat.amount)```

Invalid assignment of property or key 'hint_tooltip' with value of type 'String' on a base object of type 'Control'.

is what I get upon running this code

the error is saying hint_tooltip isn't a property of Control nodes
I think tooltip_text is the property you're looking for

yeah that seems right, though I'm using the set method in a process loop, does it being set again every frame prevent it from being shown on hover?

idk, you could avoid setting it when it remains the same value

thing is I'm trying to add it as a hover info to show how many of a certain material you have currently

so it updates often anyways

[winter tendon]

you can limit how often it updates

is the tooltip even showing if it doesn't change?

tooltips might just not work for this

mm maybe I should make it just change the text label on hover or something

could be easier

probably
