Registers a custom resource importer in the editor. Use the class to parse any file and import it as a new resource type.
</brief_description>
<description>
EditorImportPlugins provide a way to extend the editor's resource import functionality. Use them to import resources from custom files or to provide alternatives to the editor's existing importers. Register your [EditorPlugin] with [method EditorPlugin.add_import_plugin].
EditorImportPlugins work by associating with specific file extensions and a resource type. See [method get_recognized_extension] and [method get_resource_type]). They may optionally specify some import presets that affect the import process. EditorImportPlugins are responsible for creating the resources and saving them in the [code].import[/code] directory.
Below is an example EditorImportPlugin that imports a [Mesh] from a file with the extension ".special" or ".spec":
[codeblock]
tool
extends EditorImportPlugin
func get_importer_name():
return "my.special.plugin"
func get_visible_name():
return "Special Mesh Importer"
func get_recognized_extensions():
return ["special", "spec"]
func get_save_extension():
return "mesh"
func get_resource_type():
return "Mesh"
func get_preset_count():
return 1
func get_preset_name(i):
return "Default"
func get_import_optons(i):
return [{"name": "my_option", "default_value": false}]
func load(src, dst, opts, r_platform_variants, r_gen_files):
var f = File.new()
if f.open(src, File.READ) != OK:
return FAILED
var mesh = Mesh.new()
var save = dst + "." + get_save_extension()
ResourceSaver.save(file, mesh)
return OK
