Most basic 3D game object, with a 3D [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.
2019-06-22 01:04:47 +02:00
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.

[b]Note:[/b] Unless otherwise specified, all methods that have angle parameters must have angles specified as [i]radians[/i]. To convert degrees to radians, use [method @GDScript.deg2rad].

<method name= "global_rotate" >
Restore the behavior of Spatial rotations recently changed in c1153f5.
That change was borne out of a confusion regarding the meaning of "local" in #14569.
Affine transformations in Spatial simply correspond to affine operations of its Transform. Such operations take place in a coordinate system that is defined by the parent Spatial. When there is no parent, they correspond to operations in the global coordinate system.
This coordinate system, which is relative to the parent, has been referred to as the local coordinate system in the docs so far, but this sloppy language has apparently confused some users, making them think that the local coordinate system refers to the one whose axes are "painted" on the Spatial node itself.
To avoid such conceptual conflations and misunderstandings in the future, the parent-relative local system is now referred to as "parent-local", and the object-relative local system is called "object-local" in the docs.
This commit adds the functionality "requested" in #14569, not by changing how rotate/scale/translate works, but by adding new rotate_object_local, scale_object_local and translate_object_local functions. Also, for completeness, there is now global_scale.
This commit also updates another part of the docs regarding the rotation property of Spatial, which also leads to confusion among some users.

Note that the translation [code]offset[/code] is affected by the node's scale, so if scaled by e.g. [code](10, 1, 1)[/code], a translation by an offset of [code](2, 0, 0)[/code] would actually add 20 ([code]2 * 10[/code]) to the X coordinate.

Rotation part of the local transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).
[b]Note:[/b] 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 [Vector3] data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because [Vector3] exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation "vector" is not meaningful.

Restore the behavior of Spatial rotations recently changed in c1153f5.
That change was borne out of a confusion regarding the meaning of "local" in #14569.
Affine transformations in Spatial simply correspond to affine operations of its Transform. Such operations take place in a coordinate system that is defined by the parent Spatial. When there is no parent, they correspond to operations in the global coordinate system.
This coordinate system, which is relative to the parent, has been referred to as the local coordinate system in the docs so far, but this sloppy language has apparently confused some users, making them think that the local coordinate system refers to the one whose axes are "painted" on the Spatial node itself.
To avoid such conceptual conflations and misunderstandings in the future, the parent-relative local system is now referred to as "parent-local", and the object-relative local system is called "object-local" in the docs.
This commit adds the functionality "requested" in #14569, not by changing how rotate/scale/translate works, but by adding new rotate_object_local, scale_object_local and translate_object_local functions. Also, for completeness, there is now global_scale.
This commit also updates another part of the docs regarding the rotation property of Spatial, which also leads to confusion among some users.
