Edit title. OP's actual problem is an invalid call in their code, not an issue with the engine's core features

I'm making a mockup desktop for a sandbox game. I have a script, in which I defined a ObjContainerObjContainer class that extends the ControlControl class (the ContainerContainer class has some behaviours that i dontI don't want). I attached the said scirptscript to the node "ObjContainer". When I check it in the localLocal tab of the node treeScene Tree, it shows that the "ObjContainer" node has a typeis of ObjContainertype ObjContainer as intended, shown in picture 1. When I ran the scene, I noticed that the "ObjContainer" has now suddenly turned into a ControlControl node, shown in picture 2.*

* Edit: All nodes with custom class seemsseem to have this behaviour. theThe remote tree always show native node types that I extend from. theThe real issue is as follows:

Calling ObjContainerObjContainer-exclusive functions brings up an error that says:

"ObjContainer" node with the type ObjContainer   

"ObjContainer" node with the type Control

whyWhy does it do that? everyEvery single custom-class-exclusive callscall worked perfectly fine previously. I even commented out the request_select()request_select() line and it ran smoothly. what'sWhat's up with my ObjContainerObjContainer?
