Description

Contains global variables accessible from everywhere. Use the normal Object API, such as "Globals.get(variable)", "Globals.set(variable,value)" or "Globals.has(variable)" to access them. Variables stored in engine.cfg are also loaded into globals, making this object very useful for reading custom game configuration options.

Member Function Description

has

• bool has ( String name ) const

Return true if a configuration value is present.

set_order

• void set_order ( String name, int pos )

Set the order of a configuration value (influences when saved to the config file).

get_order

• int get_order ( String name ) const

Return the order of a configuration value (influences when saved to the config file).

set_persisting

• void set_persisting ( String name, bool enable )

If set to true, this value can be saved to the configuration file. This is useful for editors.

is_persisting

• bool is_persisting ( String name ) const

If returns true, this value can be saved to the configuration file. This is useful for editors.

clear

• void clear ( String name )

Clear the whole configuration (not recommended, may break things).

localize_path

• String localize_path ( String path ) const

Convert a path to a localized path (res:// path).

globalize_path

• String globalize_path ( String path ) const

Convert a localized path (res://) to a full native OS path.
