Question

Hello all,
To avoid the need to surround the code with if isEditor (or something similar) like in old Godot versions, I just load all my classes with GDREGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS.
But I’m not sure if it’s the right way to do it, as I have many classes.
What do you think is the right way to register the classes, and what is the impact?
This is how it looks

#include "register_types.h"

#include <gdextension_interface.h>
#include <godot_cpp/core/class_db.hpp>
#include <godot_cpp/core/defs.hpp>
#include <godot_cpp/godot.hpp>

 
#include "player.h"
#include "event_system.h"
#include "items/interactbles.h"
#include "items/pickuppable.h"
#include "items/interactble_raycast3d.h"
#include "bulletins/bulletin.h"
#include "bulletins/bulletin_controller.h"
#include "bulletins/interaction_prompt.h"
#include "managers/stage_controller.h"
#include "resources/item_resources/item_resource.h"
#include "resources/item_resources/resource_stick.h"
#include "resources/item_resources/resource_stone.h"
#include "resources/item_resources/resource_plant.h"
#include "resources/crafting_blueprint_resources/crafting_blueprint_resource.h"
#include "resources/crafting_blueprint_resources/crafting_blueprint_cost_data.h"
#include "managers/inventory_manager.h"
#include "bulletins/player_menus/player_manubase.h"
#include "bulletins/player_menus/crafting_menu.h"
#include "ui/custom_nodes/inventory_slot.h"
#include "ui/custom_nodes/crafting_button.h"
