Methods

Return Type	Method	Description
Error	save_scene(tree:SceneTree, filename:String)	Saves a snapshot of the SceneTree provided to the filename specified by the second argument, overwriting it if it exists
Error	save_scene_partial(top_node:Node, filename:String)	Saves a snapshot of the node provided and all its children to the given filename, overwriting it if it exists
Error	load_scene(tree:SceneTree, filename:String)	Changes the scene provided to the scene located in the specified filename
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")
