godot_scatter_plugin's Introduction

Scene scattering tool for Godot Engine

This plugin adds tools to help placing many scene instances in an environment by "painting" over it, rather than dragging and dropping them manually from the file system dock.

It adds a new node Scatter3D.

Installation

This is a regular editor plugin. Copy the contents of addons/zylann.scatter into the same folder in your project, and activate it in your project settings.

How to use

Have a scene with collisions in it, for example a ground, terrain, building...
Add a Scatter3D node to the scene, or select one already present
Add scenes you wish to be able to paint into the list, and select the one you want to paint
Start placing them by left-clicking in the scene. You can remove them using right-click.
- This will create scene instances as child of the Scatter3D node.

Support for Godot 4

Hello! I used to use this plugin in Godot 3. Are there any plans to update support for Godot 4?

Position is offset when editor viewport is in half-resolution mode

Needs the same fix as this issue: Zylann/godot_heightmap_plugin#132

Error: "'!is_inside_tree()' is true. returned: Transform()"

Hi Zylann!

Great plugin. I do, however, have a problem. Sometimes, but not always (not exactly sure why it happens), the following error appears in the output window when I use the plugin to paint objects into my scene:

Error: scene/3d/spatial.cpp:266 - Condition ' !is_inside_tree() ' is true. returned: Transform()

When I close and reopen the scene, some of the objects are gone. Other times, I might have like, let's say I have 10 rocks in my scene, but only 3 (for example) is visible in the scene tree (Scene tab).

Can you please fix those problems? It will mean so much to me. I would've done it myself if I knew how to do it.

Thanks!!

Refactoring broke adding new items to scatter list

After latest commit I cannot add new items to scatter list. It seems that methods add_pattern(...) and remove_pattern(...) were renamed with underscore prefix. And calls to ur.add_do_method(self, "add_pattern", path); doesn't work anymore.

Scatter Positioning Problems

If Scatter is not in global Zero cordinates or not global rotation zero it places objects incorrectly - it does not take into account location of Scatter Node in global cords.

Prevent adding multiple times the same scene to the palette

func _on_Palette_pattern_added(path):

Minor improvement, it should not be allowed to add a scene that already exists in the list

scenes are placed in incorrect coordinates:

Found a bug with latest version from the repo. Had to do a quick capture during dev stream.

Possible causes:
I am running Godot a smaller DPI in the editor settings, could that be messing with the coordinates?

Plugin places multiple meshes at the same position in a single click.

Godot 3.3.2

If I hold the mouse button, the plugin continuously places scenes where the mouse is. Sometimes It does so by a dozen, so even if I quickly click the mouse, it can place 2 or 3 scenes in the same place at once.

If I hold the mouse for even half a second I end up with 3 dozen scenes, most of which are stacked in the same position.

Placing on CSG geometry

Is it possible to place things on a CSG object? It has collisions enabled, but maybe it only works when the game is running?

Unable to add scenes to node

After adding the node, then selecting "add" in the node menu I am able to see the "tree.tscn" but upon selecting it and clicking on 'add', the item will not show up in the side bar to begin using the tool.
