Connect nodes between levels

I have a problem and I am not sure the best way to implement it.

I have two levels—a level is a scene—and each level has a door. A door from one level is connected to the other: I would like to link these door nodes so that if the player goes through one door it should spawn near the door of the other level. I was thinking something like:

giving door ids, so connected doors have the same id
when a level is changed and a door is passed, the door id is passed
find the door by id on the new level
spawn by the door position

But I've never done this before, so I was wondering if there is a better solution for something like this.

If you are loading a whole new scene, then Autoload (singleton) is a good way to save/pass data. You can save a reference to the node the player is supposed to teleport to, using the Node name would be an easy way to to this. Then when the new scene loads, have it check the Autoload on _ready() and position the player at the teleport node. For the teleport node, you can use an empty Spatial or a Position node (since you won't need anything other than the name and location). Then use find_node to find the node with that name and reposition the player.

@cybereality Thanks for the reply, it's pretty clear.
