Is there a way to procedurally generate with entry and exit points?

Question

Consider an endless runner game, but the procedural generation has rules, such that if the exit point of a modular level is at the left side, one of any modular level which has a entry point on the left side is considered for genneration. This goes on endlessly, till player. Is there a way to do this? I am new to godot and don’t know what kind of nodes to use in this scenario.( I dont need collisions for the endless generation)

Yeah, of course this can be done. Dunno that you need any specific nodes, it’s more a coding question.

What I would do is create a custom resource type for the modules, which would store a PackedScene (the actual module that should be instantiated) and a boolean for each entry and exit point.

Then, whenever you wanna generate a new module, you take your list of module resources and filter out any that don’t have the correct entry points (see the filter method of the Array class).

Thank you, I will look into that.
