Toggling Visibility of Nested CanvasLayers

I had a setup with nested CanvasLayer nodes. Toggling the visibility of the root CanvasLayer doesn’t hide any nested CanvasLayer nodes. My solution was to listen to the visibility_changed signal, find any CanvasLayer child nodes, and apply the same visibility to them.

func _ready() -> void:
	# If the visibility changes, apply it to any nested CanvasLayer nodes.
	visibility_changed.connect(func() -> void:
		find_children("*", "CanvasLayer", true, false).map(func(node: CanvasLayer) -> void:
			node.visible = visible
		)
	)
