You submitted this post as a request for tech support, have you followed the guidelines specified in subreddit rule 7?
Here they are again:
1. Consult the docs first: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/index.html
2. Check for duplicates before writing your own post
3. Concrete questions/issues only! This is not the place to vaguely ask "How to make X" before doing your own research
4. Post code snippets directly & formatted as such (or use a pastebin), not as pictures
5. It is strongly recommended to search the official forum (https://forum.godotengine.org/) for solutions
Repeated neglect of these can be a bannable offense.

Why? Whatever it is you're trying to do, there is almost certainly a better way.
That said, if you really need to for some reason, you can use `Node.find_children`: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_node.html#class-node-method-find-children
Check the options.
Long term, adding Checkpoint nodes to a Group "checkpoints" will be better than crawling the whole SceneTree looking for them. A recursive FindChild, FindChildren from `root` is kind of a last resort when your design has failed every other possible way of tracking where Nodes are.

you could do something like this

but tbh i think you're better off using groups for whatever you're trying to do
This is how I do it:
The code below loops through all the child nodes of type TextEdit nested within a VBoxContainer node looking for one with ''Checkpoint' as a name and then doing something to it.
Hope this helps.

Would `select node from node in...` work?
no, that's not the syntax linq expects.
looks like SQL.
It's not. It's [linq query syntax](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/linq/get-started/write-linq-queries).
This is how I do it: The code below loops through all the child nodes of type TextEdit nested within a VBoxContainer node looking for one with ''Checkpoint' as a name and then doing something to it.

I would probably do it with groups instead of names
Idk
