Reimport asset while game is running?

itgiawa

I'd like to be able to make changes in a texture and then see them in game asap. Is it possible to reimport the texture while the game is running so I don't have to restart the game every time I change my drawing?

I tried reloading the scene like this:

if Input.is_action_just_pressed("reload_scene"):
		print("scene reload")
		get_tree().reload_current_scene()

But no dice. Thanks!

Oh nvm I figured it out. I needed to reset the texture:

_opaque_material.set_shader_param("texture_albedo", ResourceLoader.load("res://blocky_game/blocks/terrain_sprites.png", "", true))
