This PR implements:
* A new hint: PROPERTY_HINT_NODE_TYPE for variant type OBJECT, which can take specific node types as hint string.
* The editor will show it as a node path, but will set it as a pointer to a node from the current scene if you select a path.
* When scene is saved, the node path is saved, then restored as a pointer.
NOTE: This is a proof of concept and this approach will most likely not work. The reason if that, if the node referenced is deleted, then when trying to edit this the node will become invalid.
Potential workarounds: Since this uses the Variant API, it should obtain the pointer from the Variant object ID. Yet, this would either only really work in GDScript or it would need to be implemented with workarounds in every language.
Alternative ways to make this work: Nodes could export an additional property with a node path (like for which_node, it could be which_node_path).
Another alternative: Path editing could happen as a hidden metadata (ignoring the pointer).
Problem:
* Region rect was pretty much a hidden editor. Because it was annoying for it to pop up automatically, it did not.
* Because it did not, most users have no idea it even exists.
* But because it is a transient editor, it would steal focus of other editor and annoy users.
Solution:
* Editor has been moved to a window.
* Regions that can be edited add a button below the region which can be pressed to open the editor.
This required a slight change in EditorInspectorPlugin to allow custom editors to be below others.
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
* API kept the same (Although functions could be renamed to set_metadata/get_metadata in a later PR), so not much should change.
* Metadata now exposed as individual properties.
* Properties are editable in inspector (unless metadata name begins with _) under the metadata/ namespace.
* Added the ability to Add/Remove metadata properties to the inspector.
This is a functionality that was requested very often, that makes metadata work a bit more similar to custom properties in Blender.
The EditorProperty UI elements for project settings are created from
SectionedInspector, which has a prefix added to each property path. Each
EditorProperty needs to be made aware of this path so copy_property_path
copies the full path, and not just the suffix.
Fixes#59020.
Full inspector update was triggered only on property changed, but not on
undo/redo actions, which can cause inspector discrepancies when some
properties are supposed to be shown or hidden.
Now update all flag is passed into _edit_set() method which already has
logic to handle this case properly (it still triggers update_tree() down
the line).
Resolves godotengine/godot-proposals#106.
Adds the following property menu options with default bindings:
- Copy Property (ctrl+c)
- Paste Property (ctrl+v)
- Copy Property Path (ctrl+shift+c)
If you hover over a property label in the inspector dock, you can copy
either the property value or the property path to the system clipboard
using the shortcuts above This is especially useful for the
`AnimationTree`, where code might reference properties like
"parameters/state/aim/move/blend_position".
One issue is that if you click a property, then click on the node you
currently have selected in the node tree, then press ctrl+shift+c, it
will still copy the selected property path rather than the node path. If
you click on a different node in the nodetree, however, ctrl+shift+c
will return to copying the nodepath.
The property value copy/paste was implemented by @KoBeWi at #39398 and
merged into this PR due to their similarity.
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
-Advanced Settings toggle also hides advanced properties when disabled
-Simplified Advanced Bar (errors were just plain redundant)
-Reorganized rendering quality settings.
-Reorganized miscelaneous settings for clean up.
-For inspector refresh, the inspector now detects if a property change by polling a few times per second and then does update the control if so. This process is very cheap.
-For property list refresh, a new signal (property_list_changed) was added to Object. _change_notify() is replaced by notify_property_list_changed()
-Changed all objects using the old method to the signal, or just deleted the calls to _change_notify(<property>) since they are unnecesary now.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
