Godot Version

v4.1.2.stable.mono.official [399c9dc39]

Question

So I was following this old tutorial for godot 3 where it showed you could transition to the next level by taking the level name, finding the integer in it’s name, and adding +1 to it to load the next level. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2mkyW_TymY)

get_tree().change_scene_to_file(“res://scenes/level_” + str(int(get_tree().current_scene.name)+1) + “.tscn”)

Problem is this code no longer works for Godot 4. Any thoughts on how it could be converted to Godot 4?

Just convert int to str using

str(value)

I checked in my godot v4.3 and it worked:

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
	if event is InputEventKey and event.keycode == KEY_SPACE:
		get_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://lvl_" + str(int(2)) + ".tscn")

Yes, I know you can convert int to string. That’s what: str(int(get_tree().current_scene.name)+1) was supposed to do. It gets the only integer value in the name and converts to a string. or at least that’s what it’s supposed to do.

Sorry only checked code from video, the problem is StringName cant be converted to int by int(), but it has a function .to_int() that does the same as int() so you just need to write it like this:

... + str(get_tree().current_scene.name.to_int()+1) + ...

This still doesn’t return anything. I tried this and it’s only picking up the +1

What is your current_scene.name? Have you tried printing that out?

Thank you, I realized the main node wasn’t named the same as the scene name so therefore it wasn’t obtaining any integers. Thank you so much!
