Using SmartShape2D with Godot 4
Godot 4 moved repeat for textures as an import option to a per-node option. On how to make textures repeat and
set normal maps see section below.
By default, shape resources are shared when the shape is copy-pasted. Editing points will edit every copy of that shape. To make point geometry unique, press "Make Unique" property button in Geometry property group in the inspector:
Repeating Textures and Normal Textures with CanvasTexture
CanvasItem, the base class of Node2D has a Texture section with repeat. If you aren't using a normal, you can set it here.
By default, this setting is inherited by children nodes so you could set it on a parent node (assuming all the children need
repeating textures or it's easier to disable for a few specific nodes than turn it on for most).
Normal textures are no longer set in a material resource.
To set normal textures, you can create a CanvasTexture resource in the inspector on any property, that allows setting a Texture2D.
CanvasTexture allows you to assign diffuse texture and normal map texture, as well as set textures to repeat:
Converting Projects from Godot 3.x
Scene files with shapes saved in Godot 3.x should load in Godot 4 project. However, you may encounter some issues. Here is a list of expected problems:
- Textures are looking weird, not repeated.
- Normal textures are not used.
Please read the section on how to set repeat and use normal textures in Godot 4.
Removed Features
- The Godot 4 version of this addon does not support 1.x RMSmartShape2D nodes anymore.
- SS2D_Shape_Meta node was removed, since its functionality is available copy-pasted shapes by default.
