Godot

If you like this extension, you can set VS Code as your default script editor for Godot by following these steps:

1. Open editor settings
2. Select Text Editor / External
3. Make sure the Use External Editor box is checked
4. Fill Exec Path with the path to your VS Code executable
5. Fill Exec Flags with {project} --goto {file}:{line}:{col}

VS Code

You can use the following settings to configure Godot Tools:

• GodotTools.godotVersion - The Godot version of your project.
• GodotTools.editorPath - The absolute path to the Godot executable. Required to run the project and test scenes directly from VS Code.

• GodotTools.ignoreIndentedVars - Only parse variables defined on lines without an indentation.
• GodotTools.parseTextScene - Parse a file as a Godot scene when the file name ends with .tscn.
• GodotTools.completeNodePath - Show node paths within a workspace as part of code completion.
