Question about PolygonCollider2D

AUGUST 14, 2023

In the editor, when you add a PolygonCollider2D to a sprite with a transparent area, the polygon is automatically created. How can I get automatic polygon creation when creating a sprite dynamically in the script code? I will be grateful for your help!

How to programmatically access to assets when in `executeInEditMode`

Cocos

APRIL 18, 2023

I’m trying to write a script to import assets from DLtk export and I need some advice. the idea is to use a data.json as entry point and parse it to build different nodes with attached images and polygon colliders so that the user can add its own script to every layer. You already do a similar thing with Tiled tile maps.

Initializing class member variables can be quite of a hassle, code such as this is common in GDScript: The 'onready' keyword allows initialization of class member variables at the same time when _ready is called, saving some code: But doing this for autoloaded scenes can still be a hassle, as it has to be done every time a script is created.
