ResourceFormatSaver¶
Inherits: RefCounted < Object
Saves a specific resource type to a file.
Description¶
The engine can save resources when you do it from the editor, or when you use the ResourceSaver singleton. This is accomplished thanks to multiple ResourceFormatSavers, each handling its own format and called automatically by the engine.
By default, Godot saves resources as .tres (text-based), .res (binary) or another built-in format, but you can choose to create your own format by extending this class. Be sure to respect the documented return types and values. You should give it a global class name with class_name for it to be registered. Like built-in ResourceFormatSavers, it will be called automatically when saving resources of its recognized type(s). You may also implement a ResourceFormatLoader.

Method Descriptions¶
PackedStringArray _get_recognized_extensions ( Resource resource ) virtual const
Returns the list of extensions available for saving the resource object, provided it is recognized (see _recognize).
bool _recognize ( Resource resource ) virtual const
Returns whether the given resource object can be saved by this saver.
bool _recognize_path ( Resource resource, String path ) virtual const
Returns true if this saver handles a given save path and false otherwise.
If this method is not implemented, the default behavior returns whether the path's extension is within the ones provided by _get_recognized_extensions.
Error _save ( Resource resource, String path, int flags ) virtual
Saves the given resource object to a file at the target path. flags is a bitmask composed with SaverFlags constants.
Returns @GlobalScope.OK on success, or an Error constant in case of failure.
Error _set_uid ( String path, int uid ) virtual
Sets a new UID for the resource at the given path. Returns @GlobalScope.OK on success, or an Error constant in case of failure.
