CSGCylinder

A CSG Cylinder shape.

Description
-----------

This node allows you to create a cylinder (or cone) for use with the CSG system.

\ **Note:** CSG nodes are intended to be used for level prototyping. Creating CSG nodes has a significant CPU cost compared to creating a :ref:`MeshInstance<class_MeshInstance>` with a :ref:`PrimitiveMesh<class_PrimitiveMesh>`. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_cone:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **cone** = ``false``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_cone** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_cone** **(** **)**

If ``true`` a cone is created, the :ref:`radius<class_CSGCylinder_property_radius>` will only apply to one side.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_height:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **height** = ``1.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_height** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_height** **(** **)**

The height of the cylinder.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_material:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Material<class_Material>` **material**

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_material** **(** :ref:`Material<class_Material>` value **)**
- :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **get_material** **(** **)**

The material used to render the cylinder.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_radius:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **radius** = ``1.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_radius** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_radius** **(** **)**

The radius of the cylinder.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_sides:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **sides** = ``8``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_sides** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_sides** **(** **)**

The number of sides of the cylinder, the higher this number the more detail there will be in the cylinder.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder_property_smooth_faces:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **smooth_faces** = ``true``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_smooth_faces** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_smooth_faces** **(** **)**

If ``true`` the normals of the cylinder are set to give a smooth effect making the cylinder seem rounded. If ``false`` the cylinder will have a flat shaded look.
