Adding filles to array

[narrow nexus]

I think your variable "images" is just a string, so you could check that it ends with the expected suffix

[bitter snow]

I do the exact same thing in my game. I just check if the last characters are ".import"

If you have more format in your directory, you can check if your file ends with ".png" or ".jpg" or ".svg" and so on instead

WARNING : when you export your game, your directory will not have the images in it, only the ".import"

You could use ResourceLoader instead of direct file access

1Yes theyr only png filles and i pretend to filter to be possible to open only png ones 2.How that? WARNING : when you export your game, your directory will not have the images in it, only the ".import"?? I can only open with the .import ones not the .png ones? How should i proced with that?

TY btw

I do NOT fully understand the whole thing but here is what I understood:

• res:// Is not a real directory. It's a virtual directory which IS a real directory when you're in dev but cease to be when you're exported
• HOWEVER YOU CAN STILL load("res://my_directory/my_image.png") EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE DIRECTORY IF YOU OPEN IT
• Therefore you can load it but you can't find it by browsing your directory
• HOWEVER for some reason you can still see the .import of files you've imported at least once during the developpment (This is the part I don' fully understand)
• THEREFORE you can load your png basing yourself on the imports you're seing in you directory

Here is my code illustrating this :

    var directory:DirAccess = DirAccess.open("res://images/TABLEAU_RECEPTION")
    var files:PackedStringArray = directory.get_files()
    var i:int = 0
    for file in files:
        #On sélectionne uniquement les .png
        if file.ends_with(".png.import"):
            
            file = file.substr(0, file.length() - 7)
            #Pour chaque png on instancie un sprite auquel on associe la texture
            var myTexture: Texture2D = load("res://images/TABLEAU_RECEPTION/" + file)
            var item:GameItem =  GameItem.new(myTexture)

Sorry for my french comments in the code, I work with a french coworker who isn't fond of english

[junior beacon]

Np man i understand a bt of french it was clear

Ty for your help i will try to fix it

The thing is i am putting images into one fille and then loading them when i instanciate them

this part is when i intanciate and then give them the texture of the png on the fille

[junior beacon]

i done it like this! any problem doing like this?

i still openend the .png but with load

no erros came back or warnings...

[bitter snow]

Try to export your game and see if it works

It didn't for me

[narrow nexus]

I have something similar, where I do it like:

var myTexture := load(...) as Texture2D
if myTexture:
   # do stuff

I haven't actually tried it with a wrong type of file, but I think it would catch it

[junior beacon]

dosnt work yop

wheni try to do it the other way gives me this error

[bitter snow]

Yeah, you'll notice that in my code I remove the 7 last character because I actually want to load the img.png and not the img.png.import even tho the img.png doesn't seems to exist when I check

[bitter snow]

So I browse the png.import but i load the .png, this is utterly confusing but at least it works

[junior beacon]

Bra your an god how would i found this online?

Ty very much man your an angel

I thought wtf hes he removgint he las 7 characters for ashjsahjhjsa

[bitter snow]

You dodged a massive bullet with me noticing your thread, spent a whole day trying to understanding this bug this week

[junior beacon]

Yop i actually thout in making the .png part but never the remove characters one

this is so stupid lol

[bitter snow]

HOWEVER I'm still a newbe to Godot, no idea if it's the intended way to code this, I just noticed that it works

[junior beacon]

Yop me too man

[bitter snow]

I suspect that it should be done very differently

But I don't know how

[junior beacon]

yhe probably but i was heading the same direction as you

Ty bra really ty

[junior beacon]

Just one thing how would i substitute the res:// ?? because when i export it doesn't create the new image on the inventory per say i am also deleting it and probably bc its using the //res: is not deleting the filles
