Title, I'm in L5.P2 Challenge 1 of module 7 and I've just tried to add another button, I think the code for the button itself is sound but the game errors out as soon as I run, by the looks of the error it's because the %BackButton cannot be found, so I'm assuming my understanding of the shrotcut is wrong... Would someone be able to explain?
Thank you so much!

Weird, this seems to mean the node doesn't exist
But it still knows its full path of VBoxContainer/BackButton, so something is not working correctly
I think it's using the solutions scene, rather than your scene, somehow
Maybe an issue with those pesky UIDs in Godot 4
@hexed jacinth you've had to deal with UID issues, do you think this could be one of those problems?

I did compare an solution with my code for the practise and done some messing around, maybe me copying something has thrown an error somewhere..? I'll reset it and try again!
Hmmm, just rewrote the code entirely after resetting but still nothing
I'm assuming I've just broke something messing around with the solution file and copy/pastes! Should that code work OK though? I'll be content knowing that at least haha.

Yea, from looking at it, it should work perfectly fine.

Just asking because I don't see it mentioned: does the new button have a Scene Unique Name assigned via the node tree?

Sorry, yes it was (I renamed it BackButton). I've deleted it all now as it wasn't working but BackButton had the % sign next to it and was renamed before I applied its uniquie name

The error does mention the full path to the node (VBoxContainer/BackButton), so the node path is registered correctly as a scene unique node

Aah ok!

It's possible, if you're already using Godot 4.4, that this issue is linked to Godot 4.4's UIDs. However in general I wouldn't recommend modifying practices while the GDQuest practices dock is turned on, because this can cause the practice to fail or errors
If you want to make changes that are outside the scope of the practice, I recommend duplicating the practice folder, opening the duplicated scenes, and replacing the scripts with your new/extended scripts
(when you duplicate a folder in Godot, the scenes from the new folder will still point to the scripts from the original folder)
