The ability to get class icon from GDScript

[Shatur]

Describe the project you are working on

I working on third person shooter.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

In my game, characters have abilities. I want to add icons to them. GDScript has the ability to add an icon to class:

And I want to reuse such icons in game, but I need to specify the path to the icon a second time separately.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

It would be nice to have the ability to get script icon. NariveScript already have script_class_icon_path property, but GDScript do not have any method to access used icon. I suppose this is becase the feature to specify an icon appeared relatively recently (in version 3.1).

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

I can access source_code of Script and parse icon myself. But this is a bit hacky.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

I think this is impossible without a corresponding API in the engine :)

Another alternative would be to read the project settings.

ProjectSettings.get("_global_script_class_icons") # a Dictionary of class names mapped to icon paths

ProjectSettings.get("_global_script_class_icons") # a Dictionary of class names mapped to icon paths

Did non know about it, thanks! But there is no way to get the class_name from the script to access the icon from the dictionary :(

A bit hacky, but possible:

var filepath := get_from_somewhere()
var name := ""
var script_classes := ProjectSettings.get_setting("_global_script_classes") as Array
for a_class in script_classes:
    if a_class.path == filepath:
        name = a_class.class
        break
var script_class_icons := ProjectSettings.get_setting("_global_script_class_icons") as Dictionary
var script_icon := script_class_icons[name] as Texture

I found it in #103 that supersedes this.
