CSGCylinder¶

Inherits: CSGPrimitive < CSGShape < GeometryInstance < VisualInstance < CullInstance < Spatial < Node < Object

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 MeshInstance with a PrimitiveMesh. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.

Properties¶

bool	cone	`false`
float	height	`1.0`
Material	material
float	radius	`1.0`
int	sides	`8`
bool	smooth_faces	`true`

Property Descriptions¶

bool cone = false

void set_cone ( bool value )
bool is_cone ( )

If true a cone is created, the radius will only apply to one side.

float height = 1.0

void set_height ( float value )
float get_height ( )

The height of the cylinder.

Material material

void set_material ( Material value )
Material get_material ( )

The material used to render the cylinder.

float radius = 1.0

void set_radius ( float value )
float get_radius ( )

The radius of the cylinder.

int sides = 8

void set_sides ( int value )
int get_sides ( )

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

bool smooth_faces = true

void set_smooth_faces ( bool value )
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.
