Tool Button

ToolButtonPlugin for Godot 4.0 - v1.0

Editor buttons with one line of code: @tool.

Getting Started

• Enable plugin.
• Add @tool to top of your script.
• Buttons will be at the bottom of the inspector.

Advanced Example

To specify buttons that show above the inspector, add a _get_tool_buttons func.

With Strings:

@tool
extends Node

func _get_tool_buttons(): return ["boost_score", "remove_player"]

func boost_score():
  Player.score += 100

func remove_player():
  Player.queue_free()

And/or Dictionarys

@tool
extends Node

signal reset()

func _get_tool_buttons(): return [
    "boost_score",
    {call="boost_score", args=[100], tint=Color.DEEP_SKY_BLUE},
    {call="emit_signal", args=["reset"], text="Reset", tint=Color.TOMATO}
]

func boost_score(x=10):
    Player.score += x

call is mandatory. Other's are optional.

Resource Example

For _get_tool_buttons to work on a Resource it needs to be static.

@tool
extends Resource
class_name MyResource

# STATIC
static func _get_tool_buttons():
    return ["my_button"]

# LOCAL
export(String) var my_name:String = ""

func my_button():
    print(my_name)
