Description

Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the Editor Settings menu.

Accessing the settings is done by using the regular Object API, such as:

settings.set(prop,value)
settings.get(prop)
list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()

Method Descriptions

Add a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain: name:String(the name of the property) and type:int(see TYPE_* in @GlobalScope), and optionally hint:int(see PROPERTY_HINT_* in @GlobalScope), hint_string:String.

Example:

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

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

editor_settings.add_property_info(property_info)
