This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
(cherry picked from commit 7adf4cc9b5)
This commits adds a new emitter type for particles material
and 3D CPU particles. The new emitter is called "ring"
and it can emit either in a ring or cylinder fashion.
This adds the following properties for the emitter:
1. ring_emitter_axis: the axis along which the ring/cylinder
will be constructed
2. ring_emitter_radius: outer radius of the ring/cylinder
3. ring_emitter_inner_radius: inner radius of the cylinder.
when set to zero, particles will emit in the full volume.
4. ring_emitter_height: height of the ring/cylinder emitter.

We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
Setters and getters have been hidden from the documentation when the matching
properties have been exposed, but some of them are parametric and require the
name or index of a given parameter to be used. So they need to be properly
documented with the type and name of the arguments they take.
For example, CPUParticles' `set_param(Parameter param, float value)`.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
It took me some hours of trying and wondering and one question with a very helpful answer in the facebook group to figure out that the color_ramp gradient actually modifies the vertex color of the particle mesh (but NOT the albedo). After knowing this enabling vertex_color_use_as_albedo in the SpatialMaterial led to success.
I hope adding this little hint:
"Each particle's vertex color will vary along this [GradientTexture]."
Might help other people which stumble upon this...
