rotation_degrees, transform.basis and quaternions If you want to rotate a character towards a point, there are three popular methods you can use: modifying the character’s rotation_degrees.y value, changing the transform.basis or using quaternions. This tutorial will show you how the transform.basis approach works. The transform.basis property of any Spatial node (or nodes that inherit from […]

If you have ever created custom classes by using class_name MyCustomClass in one of your scripts you might have noticed that these classes don’t return their custom class name when you use get_class() or is_class() on them.

The explanation of range remapping in this article is universally applicable to every use case where value remapping is required. Towards the end of this article we’ll take a look at how to implement the formula as a function in the Godot game engine. If you are just here to understand how range remapping works […]

This tutorial explains how to create exported variables that reference nodes and how to combine this with static typing. Why using $ or get_node() is problematic To get a reference to a node in your node tree, you can use the $ sign followed by the node’s path. In a setup like on the next […]
