Systems Description

Actor (Player + NPCs + enemies) Scene Structure

The root actor node is the glue that determines when the states under the stm (STate Machine) happen, hence the root actor node exports timers / whether abilities are enabled. The state nodes under stm exports data that are relevant to that state, say gravity for air.

HOWEVER, there is a unintuitive aspect to this. The air state for example has many different ways of entering it, hence the stats (JumpStats) that it uses can be given by the previous state. For example when you jump from the ground the ground state has the stats for the jump (most of the values relevant for being in air).

Camera System (OUTDATED)

The camera system is a thin layer (script ExtendedCamera.gd) on top of Godot's Camera2D node, it adds the ability for a camera, typically the player's camera, to "inherit" properties from other cameras in a layered fasion so that multiple cameras can act on the player camera at the same time in different ways. When doing this, properties are interpolated according to a curve. Things that are currently interpolated/transfered/supported (nag Rakarake if you need something else): * position, for when you want the camera to focus on/follow something * limits, usefull when having dynamic rooms that only want to show a portion of the screen Another ting of note is that Camera2D can be weird with it's smoothing, i.g. when interpolating limits don't do it where one camera has Godot's very high default, set it to something reasonably high.

Scene Transitions

TLDR instanciate the "SceneTransition" scene then add a collision shape to it. The properties determine how it behaves, if it's an interactable area or a zone you walk into. "SceneTransition" nodes can work both as entrances and exits, you reference them by the scene in which they reside and the name of the node. Make sure that the node names are unique! in the same scene.

The export/file-picker used to select the scene sadly does not update when you move the file it points to, it has to be manually updated.
