Refactors the BVH to make it more generic and customizable. Instead of hard coding the system of pairable_mask and pairable_type into the BVH, this information is no longer stored internally, and instead the BVH uses callbacks both for determining whether pairs of objects can pair with each other, and for filtering cull / intersection tests.
In addition, instead of hard coding the number of trees, the BVH now supports up to 32 trees, and each object can supply a tree collision mask to determine which trees it can collide against.
This enables the BVH to scale to either the two or 3 trees needed in physics, and the single tree used without pairing in Godot 4 render tree.
Although the expanded bounds were working in normal use, for moving and growing objects, there was one case which was not dealt with properly - significant shrinkage of exact bounds within an expanded bound.
This PR detects significant shrinkage and forces a new expanded bound to be created.
List of changes:
- Modified bvh class to handle 2D and 3D as a template
- Changes in Rect2, Vector2, Vector3 interface to uniformize template
calls
- New option in Project Settings to enable BVH for 2D Physics (enabled
by default like in 3D)
Change render BVH update scheme from once per update_dirty_instances to a new update_scenarios function called once per draw.
Fix lights not being properly unpaired.
Fixed bug in add_changed_item where AABBs were not being updated due to more than one update per tick.
Calling set_pairable now will update collisions (rather than waiting for the next item_move).
Mask behaviour used for pairing now (hopefully) matches octree.
Complete rewrite of spatial partitioning using a bounding volume hierarchy rather than octree.
Switchable in project settings between using octree or BVH for rendering and physics.
