As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
Makes the API for forces and impulses more flexible, easier to
understand and harmonized between 2D and 3D.
Rigid bodies now have 3 sets of methods for forces and impulses:
-apply_impulse() for impulses (one-shot and time independent)
-apply_force() for forces (time dependent) applied for the current step
-add_constant_force() for forces that keeps being applied each step
Also updated the documentation to clarify the different methods and
parameters in rigid body nodes, body direct state and physics servers.
Damping values are now non-negative.
Add new properties linear_damp_mode and angular_damp_mode to set the way
RigidDynamicBody and PhysicalBone (2D & 3D) use damping values.
It can now be Combine (default) to add to the default/areas, or Replace
to override the value completely (current behavior).
Added a parameter in test_body_motion to exclude attached objects from
collision, used to avoid collision with all TileMap tiles with moving
platform motion instead of just the one tile the character touches.
Same changes made in 3D for consistency, and handling potential similar
cases.
-Physics servers test body motion use a class to hold parameters instead
of multiple arguments to make it more readable and flexible since there
are many options
-Improved documentation for test body motion and kinematic collision
-Removed read-only properties for body motion results (not handled in
scripts, so they should be get_ methods only instead)
Shape metadata was only used to get tile information when colliding with
tilemaps. It's not needed anymore since there's an API in tilemap using
body ids instead.
Allows 2D character controller to work without applying gravity when
touching the ground (also more safely in 3D), and collision detection
is more flexible with different safe margin values.
Character body motion changes in 2D and 3D:
-Recovery only for depth > min contact depth to help with collision
detection consistency (rest info could be lost if recovery was too much)
-Adaptive min contact depth (based on margin) instead of space parameter
Extra CharacterBody changes:
-2D: apply changes made in 3D for stop on slope and floor snap that help
fixing some jittering cases
-3D: fix minor inconsistencies in stop on slope and floor snap logic
RigidDynamicBody modes are replaced with several properties to make their
usage clearer:
-lock_rotation: disable body's rotation (instead of MODE_LOCKED)
-freeze: no gravity or forces (instead of MODE_STATIC and MODE_KINEMATIC)
-freeze_mode: Static (can be only teleported) or Kinematic (can be animated)
Also renamed MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED to MODE_DYNAMIC_LINEAR in the physics
servers.
Changes:
-Added support for custom inertia and center of mass in 3D
-Added support for custom center of mass in 2D
-Calculated center of mass from shapes in 2D (same as in 3D)
-Fixed mass properties calculation with disabled shapes in 2D/3D
-Removed first_integration which is not used in 2D and doesn't seem to
make a lot of sense (prevents omit_force_integration to work during the
first frame)
-Support for custom inertia on different axes for RigidBody3D
Instead of having a physics node named Static that can be either Static
or Kinematic, AnimatableBody is added again as a separate node:
-Inherited from StaticBody to make its usage clearer
-Still separated from CharacterBody to make its usage more focused
Properly implemented constant velocity for kinematic bodies in godot
physics servers (induced velocity without actually moving).
Also updated description for the different physics nodes to make their
usage clearer.
Use a C++ callback instead of Callable for synchronizing physics nodes' state with physics servers.
Remove usage of PhysicsDirectBodyState in physics nodes when not
necessary.
Store PhysicsDirectBodyState for bodies individually instead of a
singleton to avoid issues when accessing direct body state for multiple
bodies.
PhysicsDirectBodyState is initialized only when needed, so it doesn't
have to be created when using the physics server directly.
Move PhysicsDirectBodyState2D and PhysicsDirectBodyState3D to separate
cpp files.
Make separation ray shapes work properly in move_and_slide, wihtout the
specific code in CharacterBody like before.
Now most of the logic is handled inside the physics server. The only
thing that's needed is to use ray shapes only for recovery and ignore
them when performing the motion itself (unless we're snapping or slips
on slope is on).
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Changes:
- Rename few methods/property and group them in the editor when it's possible
- Make MotionResult API consistency with KinematicCollision
- Return a boolean in move_and_slide if there was a collision
- New methods:
- get_floor_angle on CharacterBody to get the floor angle.
- get_angle on KinematicCollision to get the collision angle.
- get_last_slide_collision to quickly get the latest collision of move_and_slide.
