VisualShader

Inherits: Shader < Resource < RefCounted < Object

A custom shader program with a visual editor.

Description

This class allows you to define a custom shader program that can be used for various materials to render objects.

The visual shader editor creates the shader.

Enumerations

enum Type:

  • TYPE_VERTEX = 0 --- A vertex shader, operating on vertices.

  • TYPE_FRAGMENT = 1 --- A fragment shader, operating on fragments (pixels).

  • TYPE_LIGHT = 2 --- A shader for light calculations.

  • TYPE_START = 3

  • TYPE_PROCESS = 4

  • TYPE_COLLIDE = 5

  • TYPE_START_CUSTOM = 6

  • TYPE_PROCESS_CUSTOM = 7

  • TYPE_SKY = 8

  • TYPE_FOG = 9 --- A compute shader that runs for each froxel of the volumetric fog map.

  • TYPE_MAX = 10 --- Represents the size of the Type enum.

Constants

  • NODE_ID_INVALID = -1

  • NODE_ID_OUTPUT = 0

Property Descriptions

Default

{}

Setter

set_engine_version(value)

Getter

get_engine_version()

The Godot version this VisualShader was designed for, in the form of a Dictionary with major and minor keys with integer values. Example: {"major": 4, "minor": 0}

This is used by the editor to convert visual shaders from older Godot versions.

Default

Vector2(0, 0)

Setter

set_graph_offset(value)

Getter

get_graph_offset()

The offset vector of the whole graph.

Method Descriptions

Adds the specified node to the shader.

  • bool can_connect_nodes ( Type type, int from_node, int from_port, int to_node, int to_port ) const

Returns true if the specified nodes and ports can be connected together.

Connects the specified nodes and ports.

  • void connect_nodes_forced ( Type type, int from_node, int from_port, int to_node, int to_port )

Connects the specified nodes and ports, even if they can't be connected. Such connection is invalid and will not function properly.

  • void disconnect_nodes ( Type type, int from_node, int from_port, int to_node, int to_port )

Connects the specified nodes and ports.

Returns the shader node instance with specified type and id.

  • Array get_node_connections ( Type type ) const

Returns the list of connected nodes with the specified type.

Returns the list of all nodes in the shader with the specified type.

Returns the position of the specified node within the shader graph.

  • int get_valid_node_id ( Type type ) const

  • bool is_node_connection ( Type type, int from_node, int from_port, int to_node, int to_port ) const

Returns true if the specified node and port connection exist.

  • void remove_node ( Type type, int id )

Removes the specified node from the shader.

Replaces the specified node with a node of new class type.

  • void set_mode ( Mode mode )

Sets the mode of this shader.

Sets the position of the specified node.
