Features and How They Work

Features & How They Work

Here is what the plugin actually does and how the different parts work.

Scene Sync

• Adding, deleting, renaming, and moving nodes syncs to everyone in real-time.
• Moving objects with 2D or 3D gizmos updates their position live.
• Changing properties in the Inspector (transforms, colors, meshes, materials) syncs over the network.
• When someone selects a node, a colored outline appears so you know they are touching it.

2D and 3D Cursors

• You can see where teammates have their mice in 2D canvas and 3D viewport.
• Each cursor has the person's username and their random color.

Script Sync [WIP]

• It's still in development and is an unfinished feature!
• Editing GDScript files syncs line changes live.
• You can see collaborator carets and text selections.
• Carets fade out when you type on the same line as someone else so their cursor doesn't block the code you are trying to read.

Team Chat

• Click Team Chat in the bottom panel to chat.
• Messages are virtualized in batches so having a long chat won't lag your editor.
• Pinned messages: There is a button at the top right of the chat window for pinned messages so important stuff doesn't get lost in the scroll.
• Images: Disabled by default because of some issues with it i don't want to deal with for now. Can be toggled on with /chatimgs true.
