+The **Enable** column has no effect in C# code. However, if the singleton is a
+C# script, a similar effect can be achieved by including a static property
+called ``Instance`` and assigning it in ``_Ready()``:
+
+.. tabs::

+
+    public partial class PlayerVariables : Node
+    {

+        public override void _Ready()
+        {
+            Instance = this;
+        }

+This allows the singleton to be accessed from C# code without ``GetNode()`` and
+without a typecast:

+.. tabs::
+ .. code-tab:: csharp

+    PlayerVariables.Instance.Health -= 10;

 Note that autoload objects (scripts and/or scenes) are accessed just like any
