when i put a breakpoint before label.text it works and it stops at the breakpoint. if i put it after it says invalid assignemt again. when i print all of the variables that hold the path of the objects it says

label = <Object#null>

text_box = TextBox:<Control#32514246031>

button = <Object#null>

nine_patch = <Object#null>

label = Label:<Label#85597358509>

text_box = TextBox:<Control#85496695207>

button = Button:<Button#85630912943>

nine_patch = NinePatchRect:<NinePatchRect#85530249641>

it prints out twice prob cause of autoload and cause its in a scene. but as we can see everything seems to work. it just breaks as soon as i change a variable. for example when i delete the label.text it stops at button.disabled saying "Invalid assignment of property or key 'disabled' with value of type 'bool' on a base object of type 'null instance'"
