Moving between levels/changing scenes

GreenPear

So, I'm trying to make a small platform game with different levels. Like in every other games, the player needs to touch an object so that they can go/get teleported to the next level. In order to do it, I use the code in the image: The problem (at least for me) is that this code can teleport the player only to one scene. So, if I had like 30 levels, I would rewrite it 30 times so that it can send the player to every level. And then I would attach the script to 30 objects (each one of them in every single level). I was wondering if there were any other ways to write a code which allows you to progressively go from a level to another (without having to rewrite the same code over and over) which I could then attach to a singular object (and reuse that object at the end of every level)

Welcome to the forums @GreenPear!

I'd recommend using an exported string to handle this:

extends Area2D
export (string, FILE) var next_level_path = ""

func _physics_process(delta):
	var bodies = get_overlapping_bodies()
	for body in Bodies:
		if body.name == "player":
			get_tree().change_scene(next_level_path)

Then you can select the node in the Godot editor and set the scene through the inspector. This should also allow you to reuse the same script for all 30+ levels, you just will need to set the level for each one in the Godot editor :smile:
