Description
-----------

Imported scenes can be automatically modified right after import by setting their *Custom Script* Import property to a ``tool`` script that inherits from this class.

The :ref:`post_import<class_EditorScenePostImport_method_post_import>` callback receives the imported scene's root node and returns the modified version of the scene. Usage example:

::

    tool # needed so it runs in editor
    extends EditorScenePostImport
    
    # This sample changes all node names
    
    # Called right after the scene is imported and gets the root node
    func post_import(scene):
        # change all node names to "modified_[oldnodename]"
        iterate(scene)
        return scene # remember to return the imported scene
    
    func iterate(node):
        if node != null:
            node.name = "modified_" + node.name
            for child in node.get_children():
                iterate(child)
