Yes there is a way to save a node as a scene at runtime in Godot 4 using GDScript.
var node_to_save = $Node2D
var scene = PackedScene.new()
scene.pack(node_to_save)
ResourceSaver.save(scene, "res://MyScene.tscn")
The first line of code creates a variable called node_to_save and assigns it the value of the Node2D node in the scene tree I want to save. The $Node2D notation is a shorthand way of accessing a node in the scene tree by its node path. In this case, it assumes that there is a Node2D node with that name in the same scene as the script.
The next line of code creates a new PackedScene instance and assigns it to a variable called scene. This is an empty scene that we will use to pack our node_to_save into.
Next block of code “packs” the node_to_save into the scene. This means that the scene now contains a copy of the node_to_save, and we can save the scene as a separate file if we want.
Our final line of code saves the scene as a file named “MyScene.tscn” in the “res://” directory. The ResourceSaver class is used to save the scene as a .tscn file, which is the format used by Godot Engine for scenes.
saved nodes are 1kb size and cannot be used.
