[feature request] Translate/rotate bones via runtime code in game

It would be great if we could control bone rotation and ttranslation via scripting. That way the player could look in a specific direction (mouse cursor for example).

Latest version does not seem to compile correctly. (Godot 3.0.5 Stable)

Hello!

It gives me an error the likes of...

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Detected MSVC compiler: x86
Compiled program architecture will be a 32 bit executable. (forcing bits=32).
TypeError: can_build() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given):
File "I:\godot-3.0.5-stable\SConstruct", line 407:
if (config.can_build(selected_platform)):

But when I remove the "creaturegodot" folder, it compiles correctly. I did use the folder that was inside "creaturegodot3".

fails to compile on linux x11 godot editor

I get this error:

Issue with 3.1.1 android compiling

Hi,

I can build godot 3.1.1 with creature module without any problem for windows, but when i try android_arch=armv7 or android_arch=arm64v8 i get the error below about GLM. I hope I'm not making a silly mistake. I updated visual studio 2019 it don't help.

Export build crashes when using CreatureGodot node

Godot Version: 3.1.1 Stable source (compiled with creaturegodot folder from creaturegodot3 folder)

Everything works fine in the editor! It's an awesome product, Creature, and I really want to use it. The guy I made looks great in the editor - walks, jumps, etc. but when I export the game (using a custom compiled template as required) everything works fine until I get to my scene with a CreatureGodot node then the game crashes without an error. I've done debug templates and still no error printed in Godot, so I'm a little lost on what is causing the issue.

I've read that *.json files could be the problem so I added them to be included in the Godot export. Still no luck.

I see on the readme.md that you say Godot 3.0, does this mean 3.0 must be used or is 3.1.1 okay?

Any help would be great! Even if it's just pointing me to the code of this project and changing/updating something. I know a little c++ (kinda). Without an error from Godot, it's hard to determine what is going on to fix the issue.

Some commit after 30 abr 2016 breaks preview animation in godot editor (Win764bit)

Godot version: 2.1.4 custom build.

Bulding with plugin code-state in 30 abr 2016 for windows do a plugin that acts equally that your youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afSObHcj9O8

Building with plugin code-state in 30 may 2016 make a plugin that do not allow to the user to preview animation in editor (only with play-preview, not directly in editor). Nothing changes in screen if you uses "Anim Frame" making unable to do animation-frame directly in godot.

Any of this commits made the regression:

Not sure if this applies to windows builds too, but this crashes godot!

if (animations.count(animation_name_in) <= 0) { std::cerr<<"CreatureManager::PoseCreature() - Animation not found: "<<animation_name_in<<std::endl; throw "CreatureManager::PoseCreature() - Invalid animation name!"; return; }

Now builds apk perfectly. But is that safe ?

[Feature Request] Godot 4.0+ Runtime desperately needed.

The Godot runtime repo hasn't been touched for many years at this point. It was somewhat problematic and not without its problems for the supported 3.X versions.

Any chance of getting a new and improved runtime for 4.0+ any time?

Many thanks.

Creature plugin should give to the user hability to cancel "print" to console

Print to console is a very useful tool, but godot modules shouldn´t use that without developer permision because it "slow" execution of the project. There should be an option for disable print to console (with 100 "dinos", the proyect delay a lot in preview). Print to console is a tool designed to the game developer not the engine developer, there is an option in godot for "verbose stdout" that shows a lot of info for image mappings, etc... maybe creature should print only with this option active, or give to the user the chance to disable print (the last is better, because verbose stdout throw a bunch of blocks of info and creature prints will be lost in that)

Godot compiling error (only happens when I add creaturegodot module)

When I compile Godot 3 with creaturegodot plugin inside the module folder I'm getting an error message on my cmd:

C:\tmp\godot-3.0>scons platform=windows
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Detected MSVC compiler: x86
Compiled program architecture will be a 32 bit executable. (forcing bits=32).
TypeError: can_build() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given):
  File "C:\tmp\godot-3.0\SConstruct", line 407:
    if (config.can_build(selected_platform)):

I'm assuming it's a creaturegodot module issue because when I compile Godot 3 without the module it compiles fine. Anyone knows how to solve this?

I'm using the Godot 3.0 stable branch.

Build fails with godot 3.2

Shader Incompatibility

In order to make a sprite flash white in Godot, you need to apply a shader. This is a common use case for when you want a player or enemy to flash white upon, say, taking damage.

However, applying a shader to a Creature node inside of Godot causes any transparency specified in your animation set to vanish. For example:

In this image, we see the player character's hose isn't spraying any goop- and the enemy character has no blood droplets present.

The image above shows what happens when we apply any shader material to our Creature sprite- every element present in the initial mesh reappears.

This effectively causes all Creature animated objects to be incompatible with shaders entirely- which can be a substantial issue.

My guess is that different portions of the mesh are being hidden by the Creature node via a shader behind the scenes. I'm also guessing that fixing this issue might be relatively complicated.

However, if that's the case I was wondering if it would be possible to expose that shader's code, so we could then extend it via new functionality in our own projects. Ex: Copy the shader present, but then add the white-out variable and functionality to all non-transparent elements.

blend_to_animation snaps instead of blending

Switching to a different animation clip with blend_to_animation is not behaving as expected.

I modified the script in the testPlugin project to the following :

extends CreatureGodot
var counter=0

func _ready():
    # Called every time the node is added to the scene.
    # Initialization here
    set_process(true)
    pass

func _process(delta):
    self.update_animation(delta)
    counter+=1
    if counter==100:
        self.blend_to_animation("default0",0.01)

The scene starts with the 'default' animation playing, and should start to blend to the 'default0' animation smoothly after 100 frames, over a time controlled by blend factor, but instead it snaps immediately. Blend factor seems to play no role whatsoever.

Missing tutorial for godot normal map

Hi,

There is a tutorials for "unity" or "unreal engine" about normal map but i can't see for godot. Actually, adding normal map in godot quite easy for sprites. But "creature node" is not sprite. Maybe a little tutorial about it can be handy.

Ability to mix two animations in the runtime

For example to play a different shoot/hack animation clip on the upper half of the body, while the bottom half is walking or running- ability to trigger two animations independently via player input is key.

The blend method can only be used for transitioning.

The feature seems to be completely missing/is undocumented at the moment, while spine2d and dragonbones have it - both documented and demonstrated!

Creature Node in Godot's 3D environment?

Is it possible to make a Creature Node inside Godot's 3D environment?

I've made "beautiful" 3D background ... but I found out Creature Node can only be made inside the 2D scene.

I'm trying to make a half 2d/3d game, would love to make 3D background, while the characters are 2D sprites.

Color Flags aren't exported to JSON file

While working on my project, I assembled an animation like the following. I use the r/g/b levels to create a silhouette in some elements, then activate the strike effect. It's an over the top teleport attack. As part of the movement, I fling the character's sleeve/ cloak off their body. In the Creature2D editor, it appears as follows:

That's not how it appears in either my game, or the web player, however.

The opacity change works- but not the color change. Therefore, the character doesn't become a silhouette- and you can instead see them in all their ugly glory.

Here are my export settings:

I've tried by checking "Colors" and "Premultiply Alpha" but had the same results. I also opened up the json file, and can't find any references to red, blue, or green values. The opacity is being recorded fine, however.

I am currently on a Pro license, using the Windows version of the tool.

Creature are unable to find json file in custom export template (WIN64 and probably all platforms)

I try to export your example of the "dino" with the custom windows templates with the creature module, and no mathers I pack all the files in executable, pck or zip in godot export, or if I use json file of the dino directly in the plugin or packed in the zip, the plugin doesn´t work in export. The files are exported (there is no problem in godot export, I configured that to export .json and .zip). The console shows that creature are unable to find json file. I think that the problem is that it try to find the file in "./" and not in "res://", but not sure.

I forgot: the plugin works in editor.

Edit: Godot version 2.1.4.
Export templates: Windows custom with and without debug in 64 bits.

More info:

Issue while compiling the Creature Plugin with Godot 3.1

I am having a challenge building the creature plugin for godot using the latest version of Godot 3.1. I can easily compile Godot but when I copy the creaturegodot (from the creaturegodot3 folder) and put it in the modules folder and retry the scons command it always breaks on the godot module with this exception
See below. Can someone give me some guidance on how I can resolve this issue?

• I have pulled the code multiple times with a clean build
• I have updated versions of the IDE to VS 14
