Inspectopedia 2026.1 Help

Section order

Reports sections that appear out of order in TSCN and TRES files.

Godot requires sections in the following order:

  1. [gd_scene] or [gd_resource] - File descriptor

  2. [ext_resource] - External resources

  3. [sub_resource] - Internal resources

  4. [node] - Nodes

  5. [connection] - Connections

Example of incorrect order:

[gd_scene format=3] [node name="Root" type="Node"] [ext_resource path="res://script.gd" type="Script" id=1] ; ERROR: ext_resource after node

Example of correct order:

[gd_scene format=3] [ext_resource path="res://script.gd" type="Script" id=1] [node name="Root" type="Node"]
