Add borders to your Polygon2Ds. Useful for creating maps using textures.
Create a BorderedPolygon2D node in your scene.
Attach either a single border texture or a TileSet with several border texures. You might need to use options to proper align/rotate/scale texture.
Draw your polygon and voilà!
Visit the examples folder to see different examples on how to use BorderedPolygon2D.
There are some options available to customize BorderedPolygon2D:
- Border Size: The border size in pixels.
- Border Overlap: The border overlap in pixels. Specify how many pixels of the border should overlap with the inner texture. Possitive numbers will overlap. Negative will move the borders away from the fill texture.
- Border Texture: A single texture* for all borders.
- Border Textures: Tileset with border textures*. This is basically a collection of sprites. BorderPolygon2D will take the texture inside each sprite. If set, "Border Texture" option's value will be ignored. Image order is important here, first image should be the north border image and the next image should be the right border clockwise, and so on. For example, if you have four images, you will need to arrange them as tileset children like this: [0:North, 1:East, 2:South, 3:West]
- Border Material: A material to apply to borders. You can also include materials in your tileset border sprites, these materials will take precedence over the defined in this option.
- Border Clockwise Shift: Apply clockwise shift to border textures.
- Border Texture Scale: Apply scale to all border textures.
- Border Texture Offset: Apply offset to all border textures.
- Border Texture Rotation: Apply rotation to all border textures.
- Smooth Level: This option determines how smooth will be your borders. Set 0.0 for sharp and 1.0 for smooth. The more smooth, the more border polygons that will be created.
- Smooth Max Angle: Select the max angle to smooth. Tipically, a sharp corner will be between 0° and 45° degrees, but you could also smooth 90° angles. This option allows a maximum of 179° degrees. Default value is 90° degrees.
*All textures must have same orentation (north) and will be automatically rotated when inserted into borders.
