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".
Backported from #70885.
In the BVH leaf nodes are a combination of two objects - a node object, and a leaf object. Testing revealed that in some situations node objects could be freed without also freeing the paired leaf object. This closes this bug.
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.
This PR adds a define BVH_EXPAND_LEAF_AABBS which is set, which stores expanded AABBs in the tree instead of exact AABBs.
This makes the logic less error prone when considering reciprocal collisions in the pairing, as all collision detect is now taking place between expanded AABB against expanded AABB, rather than expanded AABB against exact AABB.
The flip side of this is that the intersection tests will now be less exact when expanded margins are set.
All margins are now user customizable via project settings, and take account of collision pairing density to adjust the margin dynamically.
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.
Changes passing of current_tree from a member variable to a function argument, making bugs due to stale state less likely.
Fix a bug in deactivate where current_tree variable was stale. This may have resulted in visual anomalies.
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)
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
Backport of #48239.
A major feature lacking in the octree was proper support for setting visibility / activation. This meant that invisible objects were still causing lots of processing in the tree unnecessarily.
This PR adds proper support for activation, items are temporarily removed from the tree and collision detection when inactive.
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.
