There are two types of Objects in my scene.... Livingroom and Bedroom... I just want to get the children of Livingroom and Bedroom separately how to do that? get_children gets all child nodes regardless of types

Groups can be pretty useful for something like this. You can tag certain nodes as belonging to a certain group in the editor and then you can use the get_nodes_in_group() method to get just those ones. So you could have one group called "Livingroom" and another group called "Bedroom"
let me know if you have any questions about that 👍
var livingroom_nodes: Array = get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("livingroom")
could be an example

Great question! Luckily there is a handy little method that every Node has access to called 'add_to_group()'
the simplest way to use this method at runtime would be right after you generate your Node you could call
newly_created_node.add_to_group("livingroom")
While on the topic, it can be useful to know how to remove nodes from groups dynamically. This is accomplished with the "remove_from_group()" method.
node_i_want_to_remove.remove_from_group("bedroom")
Thank you!

Happy to help 🙇♂️

ah i think i see the issue
this line here
for room in $Rooms.get_nodes_in_group("LivingRoom")
The issue is that, as far as I can tell, $Rooms refers to a Node2D node. This type of node does not have the "get_nodes_in_group" method. That method belongs to the SceneTree object (which isn't even a node itself at all)
Luckily we can get our SceneTree Object easily with the method get_tree() (You may have seen this method used in some other areas of code before)
So what you really want is probably something more like this:
for room in get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("LivingRoom")
Just apply that same logic to your other lines as well and I think you will find success!
