PackedScene¶
Inherits: Resource < RefCounted < Object
An abstraction of a serialized scene.
Description¶
A simplified interface to a scene file. Provides access to operations and checks that can be performed on the scene resource itself.
Can be used to save a node to a file. When saving, the node as well as all the nodes it owns get saved (see Node.owner property).
Note: The node doesn't need to own itself.
Example of loading a saved scene:
# Use load() instead of preload() if the path isn't known at compile-time.
var scene = preload("res://scene.tscn").instantiate()
# Add the node as a child of the node the script is attached to.
add_child(scene)
// C# has no preload, so you have to always use ResourceLoader.Load<PackedScene>().
var scene = ResourceLoader.Load<PackedScene>("res://scene.tscn").Instantiate();
// Add the node as a child of the node the script is attached to.
AddChild(scene);
Example of saving a node with different owners: The following example creates 3 objects: Node2D (node
), RigidBody2D (body
) and CollisionObject2D (collision
). collision
is a child of body
which is a child of node
. Only body
is owned by node
and pack will therefore only save those two nodes, but not collision
.
# Create the objects.
var node = Node2D.new()
var body = RigidBody2D.new()
var collision = CollisionShape2D.new()
# Create the object hierarchy.
body.add_child(collision)
node.add_child(body)
# Change owner of `body`, but not of `collision`.
body.owner = node
var scene = PackedScene.new()
# Only `node` and `body` are now packed.
var result = scene.pack(node)
if result == OK:
var error = ResourceSaver.save(scene, "res://path/name.tscn") # Or "user://..."
if error != OK:
push_error("An error occurred while saving the scene to disk.")
// Create the objects.
var node = new Node2D();
var body = new RigidBody2D();
var collision = new CollisionShape2D();
// Create the object hierarchy.
body.AddChild(collision);
node.AddChild(body);
// Change owner of `body`, but not of `collision`.
body.Owner = node;
var scene = new PackedScene();
// Only `node` and `body` are now packed.
Error result = scene.Pack(node);
if (result == Error.Ok)
{
Error error = ResourceSaver.Save(scene, "res://path/name.tscn"); // Or "user://..."
if (error != Error.Ok)
{
GD.PushError("An error occurred while saving the scene to disk.");
}
}
