SceneManager in C#?

Hi. I am trying to do a top down game, but I have many scenes. So, I have in each scene this kind of code:

PackedScene r = (PackedScene)ResourceLoader.Load("res://Scenes/World/Hospital/Hospital_1st_Part_01.tscn");

Hospital_1st_Part_01 dp = r.Instance() as Hospital_1st_Part_01;

dp.isPosLobby = true; // <------------ Here I handle the position of the new scene.
currentScene.AddChild(dp);

The thing is, I need to set where the player will appear: In the X door or Y door. Thats why: dp.isPosLobby = true;

Why I am not using "ChangeScene()", because drops all my tree of scenes.

The thing I need the sceneManager is because I want the fade-in and fade-out in each scene. I've tried to each scene, at _ready() run the fade animation but, first appears the scene then the animation runs.

I don't work in C#, but the concept you are trying to do sounds like it should work. But I'm unsure of what the question you are asking is. For a fade in or out, you can just create a ColorRect and make sure it is on the top of everything, fade it out with a Tween, and then on the tween complete, you load the next scene, wait til it's loaded and then on some signal (or the _ready on the new scene) you fade in the black ColorRect. I believe that should work.

Thank you for you reply. In the AnimationPlayer I set the "fade" animation Autoplay on Load. But I still can not do the SceneManager.

Well a simple way would be to have the scenes loaded with an onready var (at least for the next level, you don't want to load all levels at once) using either load() or preload(). Then use instance() to create an instance of the new level, and add it to the scene tree using add_child(). To remove the previous level, use remove_child() and then queue_free(). Obviously do all this when the screen is black as users don't see the switch. That is all that is needed.
