viewport texture problem

belgian_street_lamp

I have a sub viewport in one scene. I want to save the texture of it and load it in a texture rectangle in another scene. I have no idea how to do that though. Because if I save it as a ViewportTexture it won't open in the other scene. Do I need to convert it to ImageTexture and then load it on to the texture rect or something?

belgian_street_lamp What do you mean by "save"? Viewport textures are meant to be updated in real time and used directly at runtime.

xyz I need to access viewport texture from another scene. So I have a car with a sub viewport with a camera at the top. And I want to get that texture and set it to a texturerect in a different scene called "minimap". Here is my code:

car scene:
var texture = ViewportTexture.new() texture.viewport_path = "SubViewport" main.minimaptexture = texture

minimap scene:
$minimap.texture = main.minimaptexture

it doesn't work because viewport textures can be loaded only in scene where is the sub viewport I assume. The question is what should I do to make this work.

belgian_street_lamp You don't assign a viewport texture to the viewport. You get it from the viewport.
$minimap.texture = get_node(viewport_path).get_texture()
