convert scene to node?

[Shadowblitz16]

Godot version: 3.0.6

I was just wondering if something like this could be implemented..
#3077

or at least something similar.

I think it's as great idea and I was actually trying to look for a way to make custom controls this way.
maybe having the ability to show the child nodes in the inspector too?

This is already possible in 3.1 with the class_name keyword.

awesome thankyou

[Shadowblitz16]

actually please reopen this.
I mean convert scene to node not script to node

This is the same, to do so you need to add a script to your node, use class_name, and the attached node will act as any other built-in node.

I mean on clicking on a node in the tree and and converting it to a node.
also how would multiple child nodes be serialized in the inspector?

Honestly, it is really unclear what you mean by "converting to a node". If you need to reuse a node and its children just make a scene. If you need to have a scene looking like a built-in node, you can use class_name and even choose an icon. So basically everything is already here to transform a scene into "a node".

also how would multiple child nodes be serialized in the inspector?

Like any other child node in a scene I guess.

I mean having something similar to a scene template but with the ability to hide and show child nodes and their properties in the inspector, and being able to add a custom icon for the scene.

This can be done by enabling "editable children" on the instantiated scene.

being able to add a custom icon for the scene.

This can be done via the class_name keyword
