changing level shows blank screen

LuckyB45tard

When I use get_tree().change_scene('...') my scene is successfully changed, but when i use code below all I'm left with is a blank gray screen. I see that _ready() of my new level scene is not called on change_scene_to

var lvl = load("res://Scenes/Levels/"+levelName+"/"+levelName+".tscn").instance()
lvl.spawnAtCamera = false
var res = get_tree().change_scene_to(lvl)

How do i create instance of my level (so I can call some load functions) and then load it?

I do not know if it would help, but this Reddit post has a code snippet for manually changing the scene using instancing that may be useful as a reference if you want to avoid using change_scene_to.

Another thing you can do is use change_scene and use a singleton to store variables you want the new scene to consider when loading. That is what I have done for several projects and it works decently, especially if you only have a small amount of data to transfer.
