| Error | load_scene_partial(top_node:Node, filename:String) | Changes the node provided to the node located in the specified filename |
Examples
Saving
- Can be called from any node within the target scene by passing "get_tree()" as the first parameter
- You can save a SceneTree from an external node but will need to pass a reference to it as the first parameter (uncommon)
- Will overwrite a file if it exists already
- Will create any necessary directories that don't already exist in your project
SimpleSave.save_scene(get_tree(), "res://save_slots/snapshot0.tscn")
Loading
- Recommended to call from the scene's root node when loading using load_scene() or at least an ancestor when using load_scene_partial()
- Will still function from other nodes but seems to cause a flicker
SimpleSave.load_scene(get_tree(), "res://save_slots/snapshot0.tscn")
