Scripts extending this class and implementing its [method _run] method can be executed from the Script Editor's [b]File > Run[/b] menu option (or by pressing [code]Ctrl+Shift+X[/code]) while the editor is running. This is useful for adding custom in-editor functionality to Godot. For more complex additions, consider using [EditorPlugin]s instead.
2019-11-08 22:31:29 +00:00
[b]Note:[/b] Extending scripts need to have [code]tool[/code] mode enabled.
2019-06-21 23:04:47 +00:00
[b]Example script:[/b]
2017-10-17 23:28:05 +00:00
[codeblock]
tool
extends EditorScript
2017-12-06 23:28:40 +00:00
2017-10-17 23:28:05 +00:00
func _run():
2017-10-22 22:35:10 +00:00
print("Hello from the Godot Editor!")
2017-10-17 23:28:05 +00:00
[/codeblock]
2019-06-21 23:04:47 +00:00
[b]Note:[/b] The script is run in the Editor context, which means the output is visible in the console window started with the Editor (stdout) instead of the usual Godot [b]Output[/b] dock.
2022-09-23 21:55:19 +00:00
[b]Note:[/b] EditorScript is reference counted, meaning it is destroyed when nothing references it. This can cause errors during asynchronous operations if there are no references to the script.
