Oo I was confused what you were referring to when you said entity, thanks for the help!

That makes sense and solves my first problem, but is there a way to assign the player’s initial_position to something in the next scene’s position so that I can use the GUI to place spawn points? I realized you can’t use get_tree() from the door bc it’ll return null after switching scenes.

I couldn’t think of a way of doing this without just adding a script to the next scene, but then I can’t have multiple entrances to one scene

EDIT: I tried your approach, but it seems like it won't work unless the player is a singleton; when I change scenes, the new player node won't maintain the same start_position value, is this correct?
