A simplified interface to a scene file. Provides access to operations and checks that can be performed on the scene resource itself.
- TODO: explain ownership, and that node does not need to own itself
+ Can be used to save a node to a file. When saving, the node as well as all the node it owns get saved (see [code]owner[/code] property on [Node]). Note that the node doesn't need to own itself.
+ Example of saving a node:
+ [codeblock]
+ var scene = PackedScene.new()
+ var result = scene.pack(child)
+ if result == OK:
+ ResourceSaver.save("res://path/name.scn", scene) // or user://...
+ [/codeblock]
