Most basic 3D game object, parent of all 3D-related nodes.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
Description
-----------
Most basic 3D game object, with a 3D :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` and visibility settings. All other 3D game objects inherit from Spatial. Use **Spatial** as a parent node to move, scale, rotate and show/hide children in a 3D project.
Affine operations (rotate, scale, translate) happen in parent's local coordinate system, unless the **Spatial** object is set as top-level. Affine operations in this coordinate system correspond to direct affine operations on the **Spatial**'s transform. The word local below refers to this coordinate system. The coordinate system that is attached to the **Spatial** object itself is referred to as object-local coordinate system.
\ **Note:** Unless otherwise specified, all methods that have angle parameters must have angles specified as *radians*. To convert degrees to radians, use :ref:`@GDScript.deg2rad<class_@GDScript_method_deg2rad>`.

Spatial nodes receives this notification when their global transform changes. This means that either the current or a parent node changed its transform.
In order for :ref:`NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED<class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED>` to work, users first need to ask for it, with :ref:`set_notify_transform<class_Spatial_method_set_notify_transform>`.

- void **set_global_rotation** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` value **)**
- :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **get_global_rotation** **(** **)**
Rotation part of the global transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).
\ **Note:** In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation "vector" is not meaningful.

- void **set_merging_mode** **(** :ref:`MergingMode<enum_Spatial_MergingMode>` value **)**

The merging mode determines whether merging features of the engine (:ref:`MergeGroup<class_MergeGroup>` and :ref:`RoomManager<class_RoomManager>`) will attempt to operate on branches of the scene tree.
The default mode inherited from the scene tree root is :ref:`MERGING_MODE_ON<class_Spatial_constant_MERGING_MODE_ON>`.
\ **Note:** Merging mode determines whether the merging is **allowed** to be performed. It does not guarantee that merging will occur, which depends on whether there are suitable matching objects.

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_Spatial_method_force_update_transform:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **force_update_transform** **(** **)**
Forces the transform to update. Transform changes in physics are not instant for performance reasons. Transforms are accumulated and then set. Use this if you need an up-to-date transform when doing physics operations.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_Spatial_method_get_global_transform_interpolated:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` **get_global_transform_interpolated** **(** **)**
When using physics interpolation, there will be circumstances in which you want to know the interpolated (displayed) transform of a node rather than the standard transform (which may only be accurate to the most recent physics tick).
This is particularly important for frame-based operations that take place in :ref:`Node._process<class_Node_method__process>`, rather than :ref:`Node._physics_process<class_Node_method__physics_process>`. Examples include :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>`\ s focusing on a node, or finding where to fire lasers from on a frame rather than physics tick.
\ **Note:** This function creates an interpolation pump on the **Spatial** the first time it is called, which can respond to physics interpolation resets. If you get problems with "streaking" when initially following a **Spatial**, be sure to call :ref:`get_global_transform_interpolated<class_Spatial_method_get_global_transform_interpolated>` at least once *before* resetting the **Spatial** physics interpolation.

.. _class_Spatial_method_look_at:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **look_at** **(** :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` target, :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` up **)**
Rotates the node so that the local forward axis (-Z) points toward the ``target`` position.
The local up axis (+Y) points as close to the ``up`` vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the local forward axis. The resulting transform is orthogonal, and the scale is preserved. Non-uniform scaling may not work correctly.
The ``target`` position cannot be the same as the node's position, the ``up`` vector cannot be zero, and the direction from the node's position to the ``target`` vector cannot be parallel to the ``up`` vector.
Operations take place in global space.
