Check if image exists (also after deployment) [Solved]

[SilverDash]

pictureExists = function(filename) { // filename must include file extension.
    const fs = require ("fs");
    return fs.existsSync("./img/pictures" + filename);
};

See also here.

The code above works in the editor but after deploying my project, it always returns false. How do I make this work for both cases (on all platforms)?

maybe an "if statement"

if {!filename}
throw new error
else return true ?

that might be the most logic idea though, but idk the most efficient way.

Filename checking is not required because the ImageManager does this internally.
I need to check if the image exists on disk.

When deployed, the pictures folder is no longer one branch from the launcher but at /www/img/pictures/. You might wanna look at what I posted here, it works both in the editor and when deployed:

Check if file exists in the installation folder

I'm really sorry if I post this in the wrong section: I don't know this forum very well. I've been desperatly searching for some condition, or plugin, or script call to check if a certain external file that I put in the game's folder exists or not: if the player deletes it, the event will react...

You can use the plugin or if you want copy the bit you need :')
