How to edit Inherited Packed Scenes

Question

I want to change the collisionlayer and collisionmask of all packed scenes in a folder, I managed to accomplish this with the following code:

The issue is that if the scene inherits form a GLTF scene, when I modify and save the packed scene the inheritance is broken.

I would to know also.

Answer 1

I found an answer.
When You instance scene from code, You Have to set GenEditState to GENEDITSTATE_INSTANCE = 1
Be aware that works only from editor. But Your code is "tool" so I suppose it can work.

var scene : PackedScene = load("res://path")
var node : Node = scene.instance(GEN_EDIT_STATE_INSTANCE)
