<brief_description>
Base script that can be used to add extension functions to the editor.
</brief_description>
<description>
Scripts extending this class and implementing its [method _run] method can be executed from the Script Editor's [b]File > Run[/b] menu option (or by pressing [kbd]Ctrl + Shift + X[/kbd]) while the editor is running. This is useful for adding custom in-editor functionality to Godot. For more complex additions, consider using [EditorPlugin]s instead.
[b]Note:[/b] Extending scripts need to have [code]tool[/code] mode enabled.
[b]Example:[/b] Running the following script prints "Hello from the Godot Editor!":
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
@tool
extends EditorScript
func _run():
print("Hello from the Godot Editor!")
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
using Godot;
[Tool]
public partial class HelloEditor : EditorScript
{
public override void _Run()
{
GD.Print("Hello from the Godot Editor!");
}
}
[/csharp]
[/codeblocks]
[b]Note:[/b] The script is run in the Editor context, which means the output is visible in the console window started with the Editor (stdout) instead of the usual Godot [b]Output[/b] dock.
[b]Note:[/b] EditorScript is [RefCounted], meaning it is destroyed when nothing references it. This can cause errors during asynchronous operations if there are no references to the script.
