Model

Functions relating to models. A model is a .tscn scene, which may come with an AnimationPlayer node. Model functions affect the whole graphics side, so even sprites are affected here.

Functions

ModelCreate[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Intermediate
Creates a model for the current entity. An AnimationPlayer may be set to enable Anim functions.
  • Arg 1: Model path
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Animation player path
ModelScale[1][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Intermediate
Changes the model's scale uniformly.
  • Arg 1: The scale in permil.
ModelRotation[1][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Intermediate
Changes the model's rotation on the Z axis.
  • Arg 1: The rotation in tenth of degrees.
ModelMove[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Advanced
Moves the model depending on facing. You'll want to activate the ModelLockRelativePosition flag.
  • Arg 1: Horizontal Move
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Vertical Move
ModelMoveAbsolute[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Advanced
Moves the model independant of facing. You'll want to activate the ModelLockRelativePosition flag.
  • Arg 1: Horizontal Move
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Vertical Move
ModelSwitchFacing[0][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Advanced
Changes the model's facing. You'll want to activate the ModelLockFacing flag.

Variables

_ModelPositionX0[]
_ModelPositionY0[]
_ModelRotation0[]
_ModelScale1000[]
_GraphicsCamPos(0, 0, 0)[]

Flags

Sprites

Config

PositionScale0.0001[]

Functions

Sprite[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Basic
Display a previously set sprite frame. Will use the previously set animation if not specified.
  • Arg 1: (Optional) Anim/Spritesheet Name
  • Arg 2: Frame ID
SpriteProgress[0, 1][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Intermediate
Advance on the spritesheet. Will use the current animation.
  • Arg 1: (Optional) Number of frames to advance
SpriteCreate[0][Init, Manual]Intermediate
Creates a sprite. Can either be empty, to use spritesheets, or have a link to a SpriteFrames ressource, depending on the interface you want to have.

Using spritesheets will require you to use SpritesheetRegister later, ideally by using the specblocks interface. This will allow you to manage spritesheets from the Castagne Editor.

On the other end, using SpriteFrames will require you to set up every animation using Godot's editor. Please refer to the module documentation for more details.

SpritesheetRegister[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7][Init, Manual]Intermediate
Registers a new spritesheet to be used later and selects it. If not specified, the optional parameters are inherited from the currently selected spritesheet.
  • Arg 1: Spritesheet Name
  • Arg 2: Spritesheet Path
  • Arg 3: (Optional) Sprites X
  • Arg 4: (Optional) Sprites Y
  • Arg 5: (Optional) Origin X
  • Arg 6: (Optional) Origin Y
  • Arg 7: (Optional) Pixel Size
SpritesheetFrames[2][Init, Manual]Advanced
Sets the number of frames for the currently selected spritesheet.
  • Arg 1: Sprites X
  • Arg 2: Sprites Y
SpriteOrigin[2][Init, Manual]Advanced
Sets a sprite's origin in pixels for the currently selected spritesheet.
  • Arg 1: Pos X
  • Arg 2: Pos Y
SpritePixelSize[1][Init, Manual]Advanced
Sets the size of a pixel in units for the currently selected spritesheet. 3D graphics only.
  • Arg 1: PixelSize
SpriteOrder[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Advanced
Sets the draw order for sprites, higher being drawn on top of others. The final value must be between -4096 and 4096. The offset may be used to have more flexibility in its use, for instance by using it to put one character behind another without affecting the local sprite order changes. Still in progress, 2D graphics only for now.
  • Arg 1: Sprite Order
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Sprite Order Offset
SpriteOrderOffset[1][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]Advanced
Set the sprite order offset directly. See SpriteOrder for more information.
  • Arg 1: Sprite Order Offset

Variables

_SpriteFrame0[]
_SpriteAnimNull[]
_SpriteOrder0[]
_SpriteOrderOffset0[]

Animations

Functions relating to the animation system. This will be moved later to graphics.

Functions

Anim[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]
Plays an animation frame by frame. The animation updates only when this function is called, and starts at the first frame the function is called. Resets on state change.
  • Arg 1: Animation Name
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Offset
AnimFrame[2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]
Plays an animation frame by frame. The animation updates only when this function is called, and if not specified will use the amount of frames you were in that state..
  • Arg 1: Animation Name
  • Arg 2: The frame to display
AnimProgress[0, 1][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]
Progresses an already playing animation. Can also be used to scroll.
  • Arg 1: (Optional) Amount of frames to progress
AnimLoop[1, 2][Init, Action, Manual, Subentity]
Loops an animation around by setting it to the start point when reaching the specified frame.
  • Arg 1: Loop point (exclusive)
  • Arg 2: (Optional) Start point of the loop.

Variables

_AnimNull[]
Currently playing animation.
_AnimFrame0[]
Current frame of the animation to show.
_AnimFuncName[]
Remembers when the animation started, for the Anim function
_AnimFuncOffsetNull[]
Remembers an offset for the Anim function
