Hi Davide,

i have a little Problem:
I want to make an Intro and an Outro.
In the intro/outro the palyer should go somewhere and do something.

Is it state of the art to copy the main scene (rpg tutorial) twice for that.
The problem i see is, when i have, for example, changes in the playernode, then i have to do it in each copy of main scene.

Sorry i´m very new at Godot.

Thanks! 🙂

Hi,
This is part of my code to load a new level:
Hope this help!

###################################
# Level Names: Level1, Level2, etc...
# Active Level is in CurrentLevel
###################################

func ChangeLevel():        
  Level = Level + 1
  var NewLevel = "res://Levels/Level"+str(Level)+".tscn"
  if(ResourceLoader.exists(NewLevel)):
    LoaderLoadLevel(NewLevel)

func LoaderShowError(Error):
  print("Error : "+ Error)
          
func LoaderLoadLevel(Path): 
  ProgressBar.visible = true
  Loader = ResourceLoader.load_interactive(Path)
  if Loader == null: # check for errors
    LoaderShowError("No Level")
    return
  set_process(true)
  set_physics_process(false)
  
  CurrentLevel.queue_free() # get rid of the old scene
  
  get_node("../Progress").SetProgress(0.0)      
  
func LoaderSetNewLevel(scene_resource):
  CurrentLevel = scene_resource.instance()
  get_node("/root/World").add_child(CurrentLevel)

func LoaderUpdateProgress():
  var progress = float(Loader.get_stage()) / Loader.get_stage_count()
  # Update Progress Bar?
  get_node("../Progress").SetProgress(progress)     
  
###############
# Process
###############
func _process(_time):
  if Loader == null:
  # no need to process anymore
    set_process(false)
    return
               
  # use "LoadTime" to control for how long we block this thread
  var t = OS.get_ticks_msec()        
  while OS.get_ticks_msec() < t + LoadTime: 

  # poll your loader
  var err = Loader.poll()

  if err == ERR_FILE_EOF: # Finished loading.
    var resource = Loader.get_resource()
    Loader = null
    ProgressBar.visible = false
    LoaderSetNewLevel(resource)
    set_physics_process(true)
    break
  elif err == OK:
    LoaderUpdateProgress()
  else: # error during loading
    LoaderShowError("Loading")
    Loader = null
    break


###############
# Progress bar

Progress -> Canvas Layer

# Code in Progress:

func SetProgress(Progress):
  $Background/ProgressFrame/ProgressBar.rect_size.x = 1020.0 * Progress

Bruh – thank you.

I’ve been bouncing between multiple Godot tutorials, and so far, yours is the best. All the others had missing pieces / incomplete steps, and yours does not, for which I am very grateful.

I’ve burned through everything except saving the game, and the house – plan on doing all that tonight.

I did have a general question, though –

I diverged from the tutorial shortly after creating the fireball, and decided to build ‘burning’ and ‘burned’ states for a Tree entity. I learned after the fact that you can animate tilemaps, which may still be something I can leverage to accomplish what I’m trying to do, but so far I’ve been hitting a fairly huge confuse point. Maybe you can help.

I’ve been able to modify your code to create a burning animation when the tree enters ‘burning’, and then delete it / replace with a burned-out stump sprite. My problem is, I’m trying to get the fire to spread.

I thought about using raycasting, but that seems like a really messy solution, as I’d need to either sweep the ray around in a full 360-degree arc to detect neighboring trees, or create a ton of them each pointing in a direction that will equal a separate, neighboring tile.

Some suggestions centered around using body_entered / body_exited signals, but I don’t think this will work because those are for detecting collisions, and the entities I’m interested in detecting are not ‘entering’ or ‘exiting’ the detection radius – they were there all along.

Do you have any thoughts that might at least point me in the right direction? I’m willing to bash my head against this problem as long as I have to, but it’d suck to spend weeks doing that, only to learn that the functionality I’m trying to leverage will not accomplish the task I have in mind.

I appreciate your input, and all the awesome work you put into this. I’m very much hoping you do more for Godot.

Hope you have a great day.
