Godot Tips & Tricks

Have you ever wonder how to draw textures in Godot? I've just made a new tutorial on how to make your very own paint system. Check it out! www.youtube.com/@octodemy #Godot #GodotTips

Actually, speaking of #gamedev, here’s a #Godot tip: if you have something, say, a piece of ui, that needs to spawn at a specific x/y/x & y coordinate, it is much easier in the long run to add a Marker2D to your scene and then spawn it at *its* position, rather than hardcode it.

Need to view .ogv nodes' video content directly in the #godotengine without playing the scene? Me too! I made this #gdscript to play video in the pane directly, so now it is easy to know where video things really are: youtu.be/6qINKOMdOZU #godottips 📹🤖🎮

For my PlanarReflector, I've been playing with Compositors to hide underwater/intersection reflections. This was an annoying limitation of PlanarReflections. Still bugs to fix, but should be in the Asset Store shortly. Links below (if want to try it) #godot #GodotEngine #GodotTips #Gamedev #Indiedev

Hugo is cool so I finally made a site for one of my domains, whoops 🤷‍♂️ I wanted a place to share my #godot tips/tutorials/snippets that wasnt pastebin and I had full control over, so here's GodotBytes! I shared this signal util a while back, but now its a link! godotbytes.com/docs/snippet...

TIL that if you put something into the ResourceName field in #godot editor it actually changes it to that text, that way you're not staring at the same "ClassName" text and having to guess what it is 🤯 #godottips #godotengine #gamedevtips #gamedev

A standard view of an array of resources in Godot. There are 3 items in the array, each of them saying "ActionPhase".

The nested view of the ActionPhase resource with arrows pointing at the default "ClassName" of ActionPhase that it shows. And another arrow at the bottom where it says "Resource/Name" with the text entered "Retreat!"

Same as the first image where there are 3 items in an array in Godot but the last one says "Retreat!" instead of "ActionPhase" because the "Resource/Name" field was filled in. There is an arrow with an exclamation point pointing to the newly renamed item in the array.

A view of the array in Godot with it saying "Move in...", "Attack/Deal Damage", and "Retreat!" respectively. Giving the developer a better understanding of what each Resource is meant for without having to open it up and look at what it's doing.

#Godottips: #Godot does not allow #gamedev to create infinite instantiated children scenes time loops. Good thing Daleks like me have no concept of worry. ⚡🪠

A small Godot tip if you want to have nodes (ex: debug button) that only exists when the game runs in the editor (ex: by pressing F5), use: ✅ OS.has_feature("editor") ❌ Engine .is_editor_hint() Is for "@ tool" scripts inside editor. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedevtips

A screenshot of Visual Studio Code showing two panels:
On the left, a Godot node hierarchy with as root a Control, with a Button child.
On the right, the following code:

```
extends Control
func _enter_tree() -> void:
if not OS.has_feature("editor"):
$Button.queue_free()
```

This is useful to check if the game is currently running inside the editor itself, and in the exemple given, will delete the child button from the hierarchy, preventing it from being usable in non-editor game.

Asking #godottips! What is this black magic visual shader editor that @jesscodes.bsky.social is using in #godot in her water ripple video? 🪄 Asking for a noob. 😳

here's my method for consolidating button logic in godot so that i don't have multiple _pressed() functions clogging up my script #godot #godottips

While I was stress testing and playing around with procedural geometry in Godot, I found out you actually lose performance by calling floori() in gdscript. And since discarding the decimal point is exactly what I want, I guess I'll just divide it normally then. #GodotTips
