Can godot values be initialised inside of Go init() functions?

[ardawan]

wondering if we can add some placeholders or variables to the editor's placeholder for each scene via code specifically in init() function?
Then we run gd those settings load to the editor.

e.g var env1 = preload("res://env2.tres")

Most gd package functionality is invalid before gdextension.Link is called, as this is what connects everything in the package up to Godot. You're probably calling this in main which is after init so gd functions won't work inside a init function. Even if you made sure to call gdextension.Link beforehand, not everything from Godot is initialised when Go starts up.

If possible, perform initialisation inside a Node's Ready implementation. There isn't a preload equivalant yet, I'll have a look at this, it will probably be based on struct tagging if added. At this stage. A gd.ResourceLoader can be added to your struct, it's a singleton so it will be instantiated for you and I believe it has a Load method which is what preload uses.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was asking that because I thought we may have something equivalent for the onready in Gdscript.

Can we have some examples of how can we load resources via this package?

I've just added a Load function to the Resource classdb package, you should be able to use it like this:

    var env1 = Resource.Load[WorldEnvironment.Instance]("res://env2.tres")
