File exporting not working.

+1 vote

I was trying to make portals between scenes without needing to make a separate Area2D for every scene. I am getting an error message:
:E 0:00:03.568 load: Resource file not found: res://.
<C++ Error> Condition "!filecheck->fileexists(ppath)" is true. Returned: RES()
<C++ Source> core/io/resourceloader.cpp:283 @ _load()
Area2D.gd:12 @ _physicsprocess()

it's weird because I realized the script works perfectly fine in the second scene.
On the other hand on the first scene, I get the variable isn't created and I get the error message.

here's the code:

extends Area2D

var next_world

export(String, FILE,"*.tscn") var next_world

func physicsprocess(delta):
var bodies = getoverlappingbodies()
for body in bodies:
if body.name == "gamer":
print(nextworld)
gettree().changescene(nextworld)

File path strings aRe CaSe SENSITIVE. Make sure your paTh/TO/FileS strings match exactly the directory and file before exporting.

Your game will play in the editor perfectly fine if the strings don't match the case of the directory structure + file name exactly.

The problem was with the main scene not being set to what I thought it was. Yeah, really stupid mistake.
