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.

There are three kinds of shapes:

• Open Shape
  • This shape's final point doesn't connect to its first point.
  • This shape doesn't make use of the "Fill Textures" parameter in the ShapeMaterial.
• Closed Shape
  • This shape's final point does connect to its first point.
  • This shape does make use of the "Fill Textures" parameter in the ShapeMaterial.
• Meta Shape
  • This shape sets the points of all children shapes.
  • Changing the points of any children shapes will also change the meta shape along with all the meta shapes children.
  • Can be edited directly if contains only Open shapes.
  • If children include Closed shapes, should only edit the closed shapes.

Properties

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.

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.

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.
