Plugins are used by the editor to extend functionality. The most common types of plugins are those which edit a given node or resource type, import plugins and export plugins. See also [EditorScript] to add functions to the editor.

Adds a control to the bottom panel (together with Output, Debug, Animation, etc). Returns a reference to the button added. It's up to you to hide/show the button when needed. When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_bottom_panel] and free it with [code]queue_free()[/code].

<description>
|
|
Adds a custom control to a container (see [code]CONTAINER_*[/code] enum). There are many locations where custom controls can be added in the editor UI.
|
|
Please remember that you have to manage the visibility of your custom controls yourself (and likely hide it after adding it).
|
|
When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_container] and free it with [code]queue_free()[/code].

<description>
|
|
Adds the control to a specific dock slot (see [code]DOCK_*[/code] enum for options).
|
|
If the dock is repositioned and as long as the plugin is active, the editor will save the dock position on further sessions.
|
|
When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_docks] and free it with [code]queue_free()[/code].

<description>
|
|
Adds a custom type, which will appear in the list of nodes or resources. An icon can be optionally passed.
|
|
When given node or resource is selected, the base type will be instanced (ie, "Spatial", "Control", "Resource"), then the script will be loaded and set to this object.
|
|
You can use the virtual method [method handles] to check if your custom object is being edited by checking the script or using the [code]is[/code] keyword.
|
|
During run-time, this will be a simple object with a script so this function does not need to be called then.

This method is called when the editor is about to save the project, switch to another tab, etc. It asks the plugin to apply any pending state changes to ensure consistency.
|
|
This is used, for example, in shader editors to let the plugin know that it must apply the shader code being written by the user to the object.

This method is called when there is an input event in the 2D viewport, e.g. the user clicks with the mouse in the 2D space (canvas GUI). Keep in mind that for this method to be called you have to first declare the virtual method [method handles] so the editor knows that you want to work with the workspace:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
func handles(object):
|
|
return true
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
Also note that the edited scene must have a root node.
