Question

So i have an arry of preloaded scenes, but i dont want to add to it manually instead i would like to get all the tscn files from a folder and put them in the array as preloaded scenes. Can i do this?

for preload you have to use predefined strings, so its not allowed to create these strings through code.

If you want to use load() its definitly possible

load() would work for my purpose
how would i do it?

Use DirAccess, here’s a snippet for going through a directory

func dir_contents(path):
	var scene_loads = []	

	var dir = DirAccess.open(path)
	if dir:
		dir.list_dir_begin()
		var file_name = dir.get_next()
		while file_name != "":
			if dir.current_is_dir():
				print("Found directory: " + file_name)
			else:
				if file_name.get_extension() == "tscn":
					var full_path = path.path_join(file_name)
					scene_loads.append(load(full_path))
			file_name = dir.get_next()
	else:
		print("An error occurred when trying to access the path.")

	return scene_loads
