Feels like everyones suddenly getting into qodot lol. Ive used hammer a bunch so it was a tool i immediately fell in love with. But the custom asset tutorial for qodot is a little unintuitive. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much! Straight to the point and precise, all of it works. Thanks sir!
Thanks for showing off the example scenes and default entities too 👍
you can make the code run in the editor by typing @tool at the top of the script. You can use it to see your light source settings in the editor .
It does take more than JUST adding @tool. There are some things like exporting a node var that will error out.
I'll be coming back to this for sure. Thanks man 🤘🤘
this man just knows the way to my hearth, i can get to do something asap with a dark mode
thanks for this video :) and the extra resources in the description!
Will you be making Func_Godot tutorials too? like apparently qodot is now only on legacy support, but i couldn't find any youtube tutorials for Func_Godot and i find the documentation confusing as a total beginner :(
Really cool stuff!
it's super useful, thank you!
im glad it helped you! i had shied away from trenchbroom at first but once I realized how powerful it was I really wanted to share :)
on point, great
Is there any way to use phong smooth shading with qodot, or any smooth shading at all?
I'm following along and at two different spots Qodot has behaved different for me than you:
1. Clicking "export file" in the QodotFGDFile resource inspector reports that it's skipping export because no filepath is given, so it does nothing
2. The omni in the trenchbroom map turns into a plain Node3D when I hit build, not an OmniLight3D
I think your first issue is QodotFGDFile has an Export button but so does the TrenchbroomGameConfig (dont know if that is exactly how its spelled could be trenchbroom_game_config), which is the one you want to export not the qodotfgdfile. for the second one I can't say what the issue is for sure, but all that you should need to specify is the classname, description, and make sure the node class is typed exactly as OmniLight3D. sorry if this didn't actually help but hopefully it did
2. Found the missing step. On your qodot map node assign entity fgd with the definitions file you created (mygame.tres)
Did you get it to work?
Im having the same issue for #2
I reviewed the code for the map compilation, i really dont see why this would be happening. It checks the node_class property, checks if it is an existing class via ClassDB, and then instantiates it. Obv OmniLight3D is a valid class type.
I wanna ask for your opinion: I am working on a godot game with an angled camera view and the southern walls of rooms occlude my player character. Would making all southern walls be entities and then making those entities go transparent when the player is in front of them a good idea or is there a smarter way about this?
Also great tutorial video as usual!
im sorry about the late reply - yeah, that sounds like a good solution! i'd probably try that first and maybe later on apply a dithering-like shader or a gradient to blend it in if it matches the style of your game (for example, might not work as well in a roguelike where you need that information). have you tried this already since you commented? :)
When adding a player, is there a streamlined way to implement Quake-like movement and camera or do you have to write that from scratch?
Thanks for the videos.
I know someone built a free Godot first person movement controller, but I haven't looked at it for a while.
Unless there is a plugin, you have to build it yourself.
