Godot-EditorTools

Compatible with Godot 4.x

Description

This adds Editor Mode in the bottom panel, which will contain different editor modes for helping in editing scenes.

Currently supported modes:

• Regular - no change to editor
• Mesh Placer - allows for quick, repeatable object placement in the world using mouse

How to install

• Clone repository to your {project-path}/addons/{name-this-plugin-somehow} and activate the plugin in Project->Project Settings->Plugins->Editor Extenstions, then restart the editor

or

• Download zip and extract it to {project-path}/addons/ and activate the plugin in Project->Project Settings->Plugins->Editor Extenstions, then restart the editor

If you use Git, you can add this repository as a submodule in order to receive automatic updates

How to use

• Mesh Placer - Select any Node3D type-derived object in Scene tab. This will be the parent for added scenes by this mode. In Object path copy path to the scene you need to spawn. In this mode you cannot select any objects in the viewport while an object in Scene is already selected.

Limitations

Mesh Placer mode

• Currently only tracing for 3D Physics -> Layer1
• When creating a new scene, which has no root node set, Mesh Placer does not work until root node is set, scene saved and editor switched to another scene and back
• Not working with Undo/Redo system yet
• Scenes are not marked as "dirty" when adding meshes

Roadmap

Mesh Placer mode

• Add support and widget for bitmasking all 3D Physics layers
• Add area paint tool with adjustable area size
• Support for list of items to spawn, which are chosen at random at defined ratios
• Add Undo/Redo actions to History tab

Feel free to add suggestions for new modes!
