Description

Contains global variables accessible from everywhere. Use the normal Object API, such as “Globals.get(variable)”, “Globals.set(variable,value)” or “Globals.has(variable)” to access them. Variables stored in engine.cfg are also loaded into globals, making this object very useful for reading custom game configuration options.

Member Function Description

Add a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain: name:String), and optionally hint:int), hint_string:String.

Example:

Globals.set("category/property_name", 0)

var property_info = {
    "name": "category/property_name",
    "type": TYPE_INT,
    "hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
    "hint_string": "one,two,three"
}

Globals.add_property_info(property_info)

Clear the whole configuration (not recommended, may break things).

Return the order of a configuration value (influences when saved to the config file).

Convert a localized path (res://) to a full native OS path.

Return true if a configuration value is present.

If returns true, this value can be saved to the configuration file. This is useful for editors.

Convert a path to a localized path (res:// path).

Set the order of a configuration value (influences when saved to the config file).

  • void set_persisting ( String name, bool enable )

If set to true, this value can be saved to the configuration file. This is useful for editors.
