Odd behavior with getting variable from parent node

Question

I'm trying to get the value of a variable in the parent node of the current node using get_parent().get_parent().CardSize
when I print this value it works fine, returning the Vector. But the Debugger throws the following error: Invalid get index 'CardSize' (on base: 'MarginContainer (card_base.gd)'). See screenshots for output. I'm confused as to what's causing this and would appreciate help!

Answer 1

Looks like you didn't fetch the right node. Hard to tell exactly without seeing your node tree.

Answer 2

But if it wasn't the right node, how is the print printing the correct value? Here's the tree from debugger. The code is in card_base.gd

Answer 3

The code is in card_base.gd

Yeah, but where is card_base.gd in the scene tree?

Answer 4

It's attached to CardBase (parent node Cards, the other margin containers in Cards are instances of CardBase)

Answer 5

Post the whole expanded tree and mark the node with the script and the node it wants to access.
