MakeDirectory¶

Create approved directories; false without an error can mean they already exist.

Signature¶

MakeDirectory(path)

Contract and usage¶

MakeDirectory(path)¶

Alias: gos.file.mkdir(path).

Creates the directory and any missing parents. Returns true when created, false without an error when it already exists, or false, error on failure.

Root Constants¶

Each path ends with the platform directory separator:

SCRIPT_PATH
COMMON_PATH
SPRITE_PATH
FONTS_PATH
SOUNDS_PATH
CACHE_PATH

SCRIPT_PATH is the current entry script's directory; COMMON_PATH is the configured shared-module root. To find their actual values, run the status panel and open its Log tab. Open Folder opens the active-script directory. Shared modules need not be beside a portable entry script; use COMMON_PATH instead of guessing a path.

Relative file paths resolve from SCRIPT_PATH. File operations must stay inside the approved roots; network-share and device paths are rejected.

File Helpers¶

Global helpers and their gos.file aliases have identical arguments and results. An omitted error return becomes nil in a two-variable assignment.
