Inspector editable variables for nodes in Godot.
- FracturalCommons
Node variables or NodeVar for short are improved inspector variables. These variables are stored as Godot dictionary which, with some custom inspector plugins, become editable varaiables in the inspector.
NodeVars features:
- Can fetch it's value from a NodeVar on another node, allowing painless dependency injection directly within the inspector. This is possible only through publically settable NodeVars.
ContainerPath- Path to NodeVarContainerContainerVarName- Name of the source NodeVar in the NodeVarContainer
- Visibilitiy modifiers to specify what operations are allowing on the NodeVar
Get- The NodeVar is readable from outside and writable inside of the node.Set- The NodeVar is writable from outside and readable inside of the node.Get/Set- The NodeVar is writable and readable from inside/outside of the node.Private- The NodeVar is readable and writable from inside of the node
- Can be exported as a dictionary of
NodeVars, that is editable within the Inspector.
NodeVarContainer is a collection of NodeVars. This node can be inherited.
Variables
- Node Vars - An editable dictionary of Node Vars. Inherited Node Vars cannot be deleted.
- Mode - The behaviour of the container
Local- User can add or remove NodeVars from the container.Attributes- Container only displays properties on the container with theNodeVarattribute. Containers that inherit from NodeVarContainer can declare properties that use theNodeVarattribute.LocalAttributes- User can add or remove NodeVars, and properties on the container withNodeVarattribute are also added to the container.
You can also implement your own version of a container by creating a Node that implements the INodeVarContainer interface.
NOTE:
NodeVarContainerdoes not work with inherited scenes. This is due to a Godot limitation of not exposing the inhertance of a scene at all to tool scripts.
