Enumerations

enum DrawFlags:

  • FLAG_TRANSPARENT = 0 --- If set, the texture's transparency and the opacity are used to make those parts of the sprite invisible.

  • FLAG_SHADED = 1 --- If set, lights in the environment affect the sprite.

  • FLAG_DOUBLE_SIDED = 2 --- If set, texture can be seen from the back as well, if not, it is invisible when looking at it from behind.

  • FLAG_DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST = 3 --- Disables the depth test, so this object is drawn on top of all others. However, objects drawn after it in the draw order may cover it.

  • FLAG_FIXED_SIZE = 4 --- Sprite is scaled by depth so that it always appears the same size on screen.

  • FLAG_MAX = 5 --- Represents the size of the DrawFlags enum.


enum AlphaCutMode:

  • ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED = 0

  • ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD = 1

  • ALPHA_CUT_OPAQUE_PREPASS = 2

Property Descriptions

Default

0

Setter

set_alpha_cut_mode(value)

Getter

get_alpha_cut_mode()


  • Vector3.Axis axis

Default

2

Setter

set_axis(value)

Getter

get_axis()

The direction in which the front of the texture faces.


Default

0

Setter

set_billboard_mode(value)

Getter

get_billboard_mode()


Default

true

Setter

set_centered(value)

Getter

is_centered()

If true, texture will be centered.


Default

true

Setter

set_draw_flag(value)

Getter

get_draw_flag()

If true, texture can be seen from the back as well, if false, it is invisible when looking at it from behind.


Default

false

Setter

set_draw_flag(value)

Getter

get_draw_flag()

If true, the label is rendered at the same size regardless of distance.


Default

false

Setter

set_flip_h(value)

Getter

is_flipped_h()

If true, texture is flipped horizontally.


Default

false

Setter

set_flip_v(value)

Getter

is_flipped_v()

If true, texture is flipped vertically.


Default

Color( 1, 1, 1, 1 )

Setter

set_modulate(value)

Getter

get_modulate()

A color value used to multiply the texture's colors. Can be used for mood-coloring or to simulate the color of light.

Note: If a GeometryInstance.material_override is defined on the SpriteBase3D, the material override must be configured to take vertex colors into account for albedo. Otherwise, the color defined in modulate will be ignored. For a SpatialMaterial, SpatialMaterial.vertex_color_use_as_albedo must be true. For a ShaderMaterial, ALBEDO *= COLOR.rgb; must be inserted in the shader's fragment() function.


  • bool no_depth_test

Default

false

Setter

set_draw_flag(value)

Getter

get_draw_flag()

If true, depth testing is disabled and the object will be drawn in render order.


Default

Vector2( 0, 0 )

Setter

set_offset(value)

Getter

get_offset()

The texture's drawing offset.


Default

1.0

Setter

set_opacity(value)

Getter

get_opacity()

The texture's visibility on a scale from 0 (fully invisible) to 1 (fully visible). opacity is a multiplier for the modulate color's alpha channel.

Note: If a GeometryInstance.material_override is defined on the SpriteBase3D, the material override must be configured to take vertex colors into account for albedo. Otherwise, the opacity defined in opacity will be ignored. For a SpatialMaterial, SpatialMaterial.vertex_color_use_as_albedo must be true. For a ShaderMaterial, ALPHA *= COLOR.a; must be inserted in the shader's fragment() function.


Default

0.01

Setter

set_pixel_size(value)

Getter

get_pixel_size()

The size of one pixel's width on the sprite to scale it in 3D.


  • int render_priority

Default

0

Setter

set_render_priority(value)

Getter

get_render_priority()

Sets the render priority for the sprite. Higher priority objects will be sorted in front of lower priority objects.

Note: This only applies if alpha_cut is set to ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED (default value).

Note: This only applies to sorting of transparent objects. This will not impact how transparent objects are sorted relative to opaque objects. This is because opaque objects are not sorted, while transparent objects are sorted from back to front (subject to priority).


Default

false

Setter

set_draw_flag(value)

Getter

get_draw_flag()

If true, the Light in the Environment has effects on the sprite.


Default

true

Setter

set_draw_flag(value)

Getter

get_draw_flag()

If true, the texture's transparency and the opacity are used to make those parts of the sprite invisible.
