Reset node properties

UnknownUser

Hi. Is there any built-in way to reset all node properties of one (or more) nodes in a scene tree?

When I change export variable defaults I often have to go through all children of the same type in a scene and click all those reset property buttons for the variables that I changed in code.

Not super important, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something obvious (Godot 3.2.2).

I do not think there is anything built in to Godot to do this, or at least I have not stumbled across anything that does this yet.

I'm not sure if this would help, but you can select all the nodes that share the same script and assign the value of each variable to them all at once. If you assign the value that is in the script, it treats it as a reset for that specific variable.

Thanks for your replies. @Aeternuxolus , yes, I guess that's the only workaround right now. If I get to it I might look into this further, maybe there's a way to write a tool script that can be run, but I haven't done this yet in Godot other than using tool to draw some stuff in editor mode, and I don't know if a script could figure out the default values. Anyway, this isn't crucial obviously, it could just be convenient.

No you'd probably want to look into editor plugins rather than a simple tool script.
