So I’m trying to make an endless runner and I took a code from the internet for the endless generation.
So here is the code:

extends Node2D
export (Array, PackedScene) var scenes

func _ready():
	add_wall()


func _physics_process(delta):
	pass


func add_wall():
	for scene in scenes:
		var object = load("res://Scenes/Objects1.tscn")
		var objectinstance = object.instance()
		objectinstance.position = Vector2(80, -200)
		get_parent().add_child(object)

If I run the code nothing happens, no error no warning just nothing. I tried different tutorials too, but there was no difference at the result. Whats wrong with the code?

you should be adding the instance of the loaded scene, not the scene itself.
try this:

get_parent().add_child(objectinstance)

Thanks for your answer
