Better coding than I do....

Hi out there I hope you could help me with better coding:

I have kind of a 3D Game. I need to jump out of a scene into another, and then jump back to the point where I left the first scene. So I made the following scripts:

In the Autoload Script I wrote:

––––––––––––––––––> var new_position_x = 0 var new_position_y = 0 var new_position_z = 0 <––––––––––––––––––––

In the Player Script I wrote:

–––––––––––––––––––> func _ready() -> void: global_transform.origin.x = $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_x global_transform.origin.y = $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_y global_transform.origin.z = $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_z <–––––––––––––––––––

and in the script, where the scene changing happens, I wrote:

–––––––––––––––––––> func _on_Area_body_entered(body: Node) -> void: $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_x = $"Something".global_transform.origin.x $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_y = $"Something".global_transform.origin.y $"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position_z = $"Something".global_transform.origin.z get_tree().change_scene("res://src/test.tscn") <––––––––––––––––––––

"Something" is a static body that contains the area for the signal. This really works. But it seems to me to be very bad coding. Is there a more elegant way to write this? Thanks for thinking best regards tellheim

For storing a position across scenes, its not a bad way of doing it. You can simplify it a little bit by using a Vector3, so you have just one variable instead of three:

# In autoload script
var new_position = Vector3.ZERO

# In player script
func _ready() -> void:
	global_transform.origin = new_position

# In scene changing script
$"/root/SAVEGAME".new_position = $"Something".global_transform.origin

Indeed, that is much shorter! And it works also very well! Thank you very much!
