Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This change allows travel() to be called on AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback during _ready(), before the start node has been processed and the state machine is considered playing.
The API docs for various animation nodes are pretty empty, yet the
tutorial at
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/animation/animation_tree.html
contains some details.
These details should be included in the API docs so looking up a
particular class actually provides some information rather than
requiring the user to hunt for a different tutorial.
This also links the AnimationTree tutorial and demo in the docs.
I've found the TPS demo to be the best resource so far for learning
how to use the AnimationTree. This should be easy to find if someone
looks up the AnimationTree API docs.
Finally, this fixes a param typo in AnimationNodeStateMachine.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
