Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
In the case where a ConcavePolygonShape is used as a shape for a RigidBody
in another mode than static, a configuration warning will appear in the
editor.
(cherry picked from commit ad227d9a85)
When there is no collision with a floor the get_floor_normal() function
should return the zero vector to be consistent with get_floor_velocity().
Renames floor_normal to up_direction in all bindings.
Updates the documentation of get_floor_normal() and get_floor_velocity()
to make it clear when the values are valid. Updates the documentation for
move_and_slide() and move_and_slide_with_snap() to use the new up_direction
parameter name.
Updating the floor velocity with the body's current linear velocity
discards the velocity component provided by the body's angular
rotation. Without the current contact point there is no way to calculate
the current velocity component provided by the body's angular rotation
therefore we need to use the velocity calculated at the time of the
collision.
Fixes#34807.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
In the 3D version:
- Partially revert #20908 that was reverted in the 2D version as part
of #21653. This ensures that the Vector returned is always perpendicular
to the surface collided with; and not the floor_normal Vector passed to
the function when on a floor.
- Include an update of the floor velocity before multiplying by the time
delta, which was added to the 2D version as part of commit 13a8014.
In the 2D version:
- Use the Vector2.slide() function instead of Vector2.tangent() to adjust
the amount of motion the stop_on_slope undoes to ensure that it is in the
right direction. This is a implementation of the 3D approach from #30588.
- Combine the !found_collision and motion == Vector2() checks for break.
- Other minor formating changes to make the functions look identical.
Also renamed some variables to align with their use.
It was triggering a warning in bullet followed with a crash in some cases.
WARNING: assert_no_constraints: A body with a joints is destroyed. Please check the implementation in order to destroy the joint before the body.
At: modules/bullet/rigid_body_bullet.cpp:465
When moving KinematicBody2D from one scene to another and not freeing
the old scene, the first call to move_and_slide() in the new scene will
generate an error because KinematicBody2D keeps internaly a
RID on_floor_body of a body resource in the old scene which no more has
a space assigned.
To fix this, on_floor_body is set to empty RID in response to
NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE notification of KinematicBody2D and
KinematicBody. Also all other data related to move_and_slide() is reset:
floor, ceiling, wall flags, colliders vector, floor_velocity.
This fixes#31416.
- Refer to properties explicitly when possible
- When multiple warnings are returned, always separate them by one
blank line to make them easier to distinguish
- Improve grammar and formatting
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.
With this change finally one can use compound collisions (like those created
by Gridmaps) without serious performance issues. The previous KinematicBody
code for Bullet was practically doing a whole bunch of unnecessary
calculations. Gridmaps with fairly large octant sizes (in my case 32) can get
up to 10000x speedup with this change (literally!). I expect the FPS demo to
get a fair speedup as well.
List of fixes and improvements:
- Fixed a general bug in move_and_slide that affects both GodotPhysics and
Bullet, where ray shapes would be ignored unless the stop_on_slope parameter
is disabled. Not sure where that came from, but looking at the 2D physics
code it was obvious there's a difference.
- Enabled the dynamic AABB tree that Bullet uses to allow broadphase collision
tests against individual shapes of compound shapes. This is crucial to get
good performance with Gridmaps and in general improves the performance
whenever a KinematicBody collides with compound collision shapes.
- Added code to the broadphase collision detection code used by the Bullet
module for KinematicBodies to also do broadphase on the sub-shapes of
compound collision shapes. This is possible thanks to the dynamic AABB
tree that was previously disabled and it's the change that provides the
biggest performance boost.
- Now broadphase test is only done once per KinematicBody in Bullet instead of
once per each of its shapes which was completely unnecessary.
- Fixed the way how the ray separation results are populated in Bullet which
was completely broken previously, overwriting previous results and similar
non-sense.
- Fixed ray shapes for good now. Previously the margin set in the editor was
not respected at all, and the KinematicBody code for ray separation was
complete bogus, thus all previous attempts to fix it were mislead.
- Fixed an obvious bug also in GodotPhysics where an out-of-bounds index was
used in the ray result array.
There are a whole set of other problems with the KinematicBody code of Bullet
which cost performance and may cause unexpected behavior, but those are not
addressed in this change (need to keep it "simple").
Not sure whether this fixes any outstanding Github issues but I wouldn't be
surprised.
The intent was to avoid creating a physics override to set a default value
that doesn't make a difference, but as #22406 shows it can be necessary to
set the default value *back* after an override was created to set a non-default
value.
Fixes#22406.
