#Random Level Gen not working

I'm trying to continuously generate new parts of a side scroller and in those new parts, I want to generate 2 lines of walls that have only a chance of generating. The bugs currently are the level not generating past the second chunk(first generated chunk) and the walls after my beginning chunk not generating in the right place

I won't be able to respond for about 4 hours and possibly 2 hours after that

@tall meadow When you are ready can you send a video of it in action and some pics of the code?

chunk generation

#

as said before the two problems are

  1. chunks after the second one(but I think its the first generated chunk as the first one is just placed in the game) don't generate.

  2. walls after the first chunk do not generate.

I believe these two problems are connected and due to the first chunk being placed rather than generated

#

Also random thing I checked, even if I get rid of the first chunk, walls in the first chunk still generate

What does "ChunkCheck" Check? @tall meadow

#

I believe I made it to check through all currently generated chunk positions and if the possible chunk was not in this list it would generate

#

I did this to prevent chunk generating constantly on the same position

So do all chunks that should be spawned spawn when you spawn in but when you go outside of the players "render distance" they stop spawning?

#

#

And may i also se the rest of the code?

bottom right is a different script from the other 3, which are all apart of the same one @fair cargo

Is there any code above what is shown here and if so may i see it?

tall meadow
#

Nothing else for this project

#

#

I was wondering because the code starts at line 13

#

Are there any variables up there?

#

@tall meadow

tall meadow
#

For which one?

fair cargo
#

For the chunk gen one

Have you found the solution?

tall meadow
#

no

This was a tricky instance to say at least

#

Tomorrow i will take a pen and paper and try to figure it out once and for all

# fix chunks not generating infinitely
# fix position of walls (should be lower)
func _process(delta):
    var chunkCheck = true
    var playerGame = get_node("Player")
    var player_posX = playerGame.global_position.x
    var player_posX = int(player_posX)
    
    var chunkPossiblePosX = floor(player_posX / 1000.0) * 1000
    var tankGame = get_node("Tank")
    var tank_posX = tankGame.global_position.x

    for i in chunkList:
        if chunkPossiblePosX == i.x:
            chunkCheck = false
    if chunkCheck == true:
        print(true)
        var chunk = levelScene.instantiate()
        add_child(chunk)
        chunk.global_position = Vector2(chunkPossiblePosX, -100)
        chunkList.append(chunk.global_position)

Try this code

#

It should (Or rather i hope it will) work

#

But we need to see it in action first!

#

#

yup it works

#

I had to change two parts of the code as one caused an error(var player_posX = int(player_posX)) and the walls were slightly off so I had to move them down but otherwise everything works

#

thank you!

#

hey how do you remove something from a list?

#

pop?

#

nvm

fair cargo
#

Yea i believe that it is pop

#

Although there are a few different ways to do it
