SmartShape2D - Shapes

Each shape consists of a set of points. You can directly edit either the points or the edges between the points in the viewport.

Shapes are configured to use a Shape Material which determines how the shape is rendered.

A shape can be open or closed. Each new shape starts open. To close a shape, simply add a point on top of the first one.

Properties

🛈 Most properties now have documentation comments.

Editor Debug

Will show the bounding box for each quad in the mesh of edges.
Can be helpful to illustrate why a shape doesn't look the way you expect.

Flip Edges

Will flip the edges of the shape (invert y).

Render Edges

Whether or not the edges of the shape should be rendered.

Collision Size

Size of the collision shape.

Collision Offset

Offset of where the collision shape starts and ends.
A positive value offsets the collision shape outwards.
A negative value offsets the collision shape inwards.

Tessellation Stages

Number of stages in the curve tessellation process (Uses Curve2D Internally).
First Param in Curve2D.tessellate.
See Curve2D Documentation.

Tessellation Tolerence

Tolerence Degrees in the curve tessellation process (Uses Curve2D Internally).
Second Param in Curve2D.tessellate.
See Curve2D Documentation.

Collision Generation Method

Controls which method should be used to generate the collision shape.
See also in-engine documentation.

Collision Update Mode

Controls when to update collisions.
See also in-engine documentation.

Curve Bake Interval

Bake interval value for Curve2D.
See Curve2D Documentation.

Collision Polygon Node Path

The path to the CollisionShape that the SmartShape will use for collision.
Is Autoset when pressing the generate collision button.

Shape Material

The material that this shape will use to render itself.
For backwards compatibility fill_texture_z_index defaults to -10. Set this to 0 and enable fill_texture_show_behind_parent in order to preserve Godot's normal z-sorting when layering with other nodes.

Points

There is no need to edit this property by hand, but you can if you'd like.
Contains all of the points and meta-data for the points contained in this shape.
This data structure is updated as you manipulate the shape.

Material Overrides

There is no need to edit this property by hand, but you can if you'd like.
When an edge is given a "Material Override" the data for that edge is stored here.
This data structure is updated as you manipulate the shape.
