Godot

I made a pause menu, but there seems to be a "dead square" in the middle of the screen, where it doesn't detect the mouse hovering. The deadzone seems fixed in size and place, moving the menu out of the center makes the problem stop. So, something invisible on top?

How the node is set up

The "OptionsWin" opens a new UI element, but moving it around doesn't change the deadzone, even if none of its elements are anywhere near the original pause menu.

Any ideas on how to fix this without having to offset the pause menu?

EDIT: Fix is my comment below. Should've tested it as an isolate scene first, that led me to looking into the player node and finding the problem. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Pretty nice FPS game in godot. This progress was made in 2 weeks

So for fun I made a water shader. The waves are done using sum-of-sines (or rather sum of sin^8), im using the depth texture for opacity based on water depth and the screen texture to fake refraction.

The cool thing about sum of sines is that the waves are very configurable, you can also create flatter water or less detailed waves by just changing the shader properties, or even create a water stream with a single flow direction.

I'm trying to make a 3d flight controller with a more arcade feel (think Ace Combat or Rogue Squadron). I'm somewhat new to working in 3d in Godot though and I don't really understand what methods I should be using to achieve this.

I want up and down to control pitch and left and right to be something of a hybrid roll/yaw. I'm setting direction to -transform.basis.z and multiplying that by speed, but when I use rotate_x() with the pitch, the plane itself rotates, but I only move flatly across the world plane rather than climbing up or down as I'm attempting to achieve.

What am I missing here?

I like how Hyper Light drifer hides its ui automatically. So i did that to my game.

Shafted is a free first-person puzzle game made by sundowns using the Godot engine. It contains 7 levels to complete.

Title. I plan on making something using vector graphics, to simulate the old Flash style, stretching to accommodate any screen size and zooming in and out without losing fidelity is something I'd like.

Now, I know that I can import a svg file into a TileMap node, but it'll be rasterized and act just like a png. Searching around YT and google aren't yielding many results about using vector graphics with Godot.

(For TL:DR just read the docs)

So you might know Godot has the ability to import blender files directly. (If not, well now you know!) This is nice, but I was trying to make some large levels and I found the workflow less than ideal. The import dialogue is a bit clunky, so it's hard to specify what objects have collision if there's a lot of objects.

Import hints help a lot. Basically, in blender, for each object you want to have collision, you can append -col or -convcol to the end of the object name and Godot will add it automatically!

You can use -colonly or -convcolonly to make the geometry only import as collision. This isn't even limited to geometry - you can add it to empty objects and it will create primitive collision shapes.

-noimp can also be used to simply skip importing an object. I actually found a really cool workflow tip with this: Lets say you have a large level file, and maybe you want to split it up into multiple .blend files for organization or convenience. (For me, it was due to lightmaps. I wanted to separate far detail so I could lower the lightmap resolution.) In Blender, for each file, you can go to File->Link, select the other blend file, and add its main collection containing everything else. Then, add -noimp to that linked collection. Now, you can view the entire level in blender but Godot will keep them all separate on import!

There's a few other hints and I recommend you check out the documentation for all the details.

Hopefully some of you found this useful!

I'm trying to run Godot 4 with the Forward+ Renderer on an older Thinkpad (T420 i5 2520M). So far I've installed vulkan-intel, lavapipe (vulkan-swrast) and vulkan-ultis for vulkaninfo. Now I don't get the "missing drivers" errors anymore, but now it just crashes. The console output is this:

handle_crash: Program crashed with signal 11
Engine version: Godot Engine v4.2.dev3.official (013e8e3afb982d4b230f0039b6dc248b48794ab9)

Is vulkan just not supported for older intel CPUs, or am I doing something wrong?

Nice app I saw shared
