Save in game level modification ?

MagicLord

Hi there,

Is this possible to run a scene game, and do some interactions like move some static objects , scale or rotate them; and have a command to save the modified scene directly from the running game ? I mean in game editing.

Well, this answer from the QA is a little old (pre Godot 3) but it probably will still work with some minor modifications. I’m not sure if you can save over a scene file already created though, but it does look like you can save scenes at runtime.

Considering that the godot editor is itself a godot 'game' I'd say yes. However that doesn't mean it's necessarily trivial.

It's great, i think i found another way to make some sort of plugins. You run a game scene with GUI panels and buttons to choose what tool to use on your models, for example select objects with mouse screen raycast , click another button to move and scale, or some other button to use some mesh splatter brush tool, once it's done you click on a save button to save your modified scene as a packed scene. It should be an alternative and easy way to make tools because this is exactly the same as creating a game.
