Camera2D has follow smoothing to interpolate towards a target position, but no rotation smoothing to align with the target rotation.
This adds rotation smoothing directly into the Camera2D API by having two new properties:
- `rotation_smoothing_enabled`
- `rotation_smoothing_speed`
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
A summary of the tweaked descriptions:
* "get_camera_position()" is explains what the camera position is, and mitigates the confusion between this method and Node2D.position;
* "get_camera_screen_center()" links to the "get_camera_position" method;
* "reset_smoothing()" links to the "smoothing_enabled" propriety;
* "drag_horizontal_offset" and "drag_vertical_offset" link to their respective _enabled_ properties;
* "limit_smoothed" links to the "smoothing_enabled" propriety;
* "rotating" clarifies that the camera _view_ rotates when enabled.
Partially closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/issues/5417, as some of the issues described are no longer present in 4.0, or are not fully solved in this PR.
Further tweaks are welcome, as I'm afraid this could be a too verbose. A few of these could be split into their PR if necessary.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
* there is now a more clear distinction between camera_2d and camera_3d functions in the engine code
* simplified camera2d's exported interface - now everything happens directly with the 'current' variable and make_current and clear_current are no longer exposed- there were some situations where calling one instead of set_current would result in incomplete results
* rebased to current godot master
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
Setters and getters have been hidden from the documentation when the matching
properties have been exposed, but some of them are parametric and require the
name or index of a given parameter to be used. So they need to be properly
documented with the type and name of the arguments they take.
For example, CPUParticles' `set_param(Parameter param, float value)`.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
In many of the XML files it had been noted that when the documentation
refers to a return value, both "Return" and "Returns" are used. This
has now been fixed to only say "Returns".
Fixes#28867
