Monday #Godot tip: don't be sad if your Area2D doesn't fire a body_shape_entered/body_shape_exited signal. It might be because you have a Monitorable property turned off, which doesn't make ANY sense to me, but anyway.

/11 Draw something on your BG tilemap layer and press the Refresh button. Your PC should explode from all the power you summoned and... my bad, it should just automatically draw shadows and walls for you.

Thanks for attending my TED talk. Lemme know if you want more!!!

/10 Now refresh you plugin by re-enabling it.

/9 Setting up a Terrain
- I used TilePipe (aleksandrbazhin.itch.io/tilepipe2) for managing a complex tileset
- Create a terrain set in your Godot's tileset
- Go to Tileset bottom menu, select your tileset and paint everything that isn't a shadow

/8 REBUILDING THE TILEMAP PT. 2
- Create walls on peaks/lows (I'm literally hardcoding tile ids here lol)
- Connect the shadows and outlines
Voila! Nothing works yet, because you need to set up Terrains for shadows and wall outlines.
December 19, 2024 at 9:13 PM
/7 REBUILDING THE TILEMAP (code is experimental)
- Get floor cells (using get_used_cells())
- Clear everything that isn't a floor
- Sort positions by X
- Separate position data into blocks by X
- Sort every block by Y value and get peaks/lows for every "island" (let me know if I need to explain it)

/6 Back to the functionality part. The refresh_tilemap() function is responsible for retrieving every tilemap layer in the group (yes, it doesn't expect a null lol), filtering them by name (ik ik, that's not idiot-proofed enough) and then calling a _rebuild(). Groups were assigned manually btw.
December 19, 2024 at 9:13 PM
/5 I prefer to manually assign references to the neighbouring nodes, so that's what I did here. Don't forget to connect the button's pressed signal and call the non-existent refresh_tilemap() function (you can also use the editor icons in your UI with get_editor_theme() and theme.get_icon()).
December 19, 2024 at 9:13 PM
/4 What about our one and only UI element - Refresh button? I placed an HBoxContainer, just in case I'd come up with more functionality in the future, but you can skip this part. Set Container's layout mode to Anchors - Full Rect, and button's container sizing to Horizontal - Expand.
December 19, 2024 at 9:13 PM
/3 Let's start with our parent node. First of all, I'd recommend to set a Custom Minimum Size to something like (x: 30, y: 30). Therefore, your UI will look like it belongs there, not just hanging around.
December 19, 2024 at 9:13 PM
/2 Create a new Control scene where you'll place your desired UI elements. But before we place any, we'll create a child Node that'd be responsible for the plugin's functionality and assign @tool scripts to both - we'll get back to that a bit later.

Step-by-step walkthrough of making a #Godot plugin for the Canvas editor menu (2D scene top bar menu) that automatically places shadows and walls using TilemapLayers 🧵

Made a small #godot plugin that automatically adds walls and shadows based on the floor tiles. It feels pretty good to finally have it automated, instead of spending tens of minutes on a manual labor like this.

It’s so adorable to see the bluntest tool in a shed trying to “make gaming great again” and “remove DEI from games” ☺️☺️☺️

Pathetic POS, go play some stellar blade thirst trap and stop whining.
