### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) |             |

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    [MenuItem("Example/Save Scene while on play mode")]
    static void EditorPlaying()
    {
        if (EditorApplication.isPlaying)
        {
            string sceneName = EditorApplication.currentScene;
            string[] path = sceneName.Split(char.Parse("/"));
            path[path.Length - 1] = "Temp_" + path[path.Length - 1];
            var tempScene = string.Join("/", path);

            EditorApplication.SaveScene(tempScene);

            EditorApplication.isPaused = false;
            EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;

            FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory(EditorApplication.currentScene);
            FileUtil.MoveFileOrDirectory(tempScene, sceneName);
            FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory(tempScene);

            EditorApplication.OpenScene(sceneName);
        }
    }
}
```
