In this video (objectives)…

1 remove a node from the scene tree with queue_free() 2 restart the game with reload_current_scene() 3 learn to use return to get information from a function to the one that called it

After watching (learning outcomes)…

Allow the player to restart the game once the story's done!

instead of reloading scene I used show() and hide(). I think your way is better if you want to reset the entire scene (i.e. a larger project with many nodes).

the end slide here has get_tree.reload_current_scene() - i realise its just powerpoint but get_tree needs to be a method or it wont work and is unrecognised.

Thanks for a great coarse so far.

Hi,
I am going through the same lesson right now but the line get_tree().reload_current_scene() doesn’t work for me, the scene doesn’t seem to reload at all as the Line Editor never shows up again and nothing seems to to reloaded/reactivated. I used a break point and the line does execute with no exceptions. Any idea what it could be here?

here is the code:

extends Control

onready var DisplayText: Node = $VBoxContainer/DisplayText
onready var PlayerText: Node = $VBoxContainer/HBoxContainer/PlayerText

var words: Array
var prompts: Array = ["verb","adjective","adjective"]
var story = "the sad monk went %s and then became %s when he ended his journey he became %s"


func _ready():
	DisplayText.text = "Welcome to Looney Lips "
	check_words_input()


func _on_PlayerText_text_entered(new_text: String):
	get_word()


func _on_Button_pressed():
	if is_story_done():
		reset_game()
	else:
		get_word()


func get_word():
	add_player_word()
	check_words_input()


func is_story_done():
	return words.size() == prompts.size()


func add_player_word():
	words.append(PlayerText.text)
	DisplayText.text = ""
	PlayerText.clear()


func tell_story():
	DisplayText.text = story % words


func show_prompt():
	DisplayText.text += "Please write a " + prompts[words.size()]


func check_words_input():
	if (is_story_done()):
		end_game()
	else:
		show_prompt()


func end_game():
	PlayerText.queue_free()
	tell_story()

func reset_game():
	var tree_node: SceneTree = get_tree()
	print(tree_node)
	tree_node.reload_current_scene()
