To check for the existence of such resources while taking into account the remapping to their imported location, use [method ResourceLoader.exists]. Typically, using [code]File.file_exists[/code] on an imported resource would work while you are developing in the editor (the source asset is present in [code]res://[/code], but fail when exported). -- cgit v1.2.3
