Daily Godot Tip #26: You can create another filesystem section by hitting change split mode. One of them will show folders and the other will show what is inside what is selected in the other one. (programming.dev)
 

in this case I selected res so its showing everything in res on the right

114
Daily Godot Tip #25: You can color folders by right clicking them and then clicking set folder color. Any files/folders in the folder will be colored the same color (programming.dev)
 

*(unless the subfolder explicitly has another color set)

Useful for finding certain folders quicker

Daily Godot Tip #24: Statements can be put across multiple lines using backslashes or parentheses in c/godot@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I dont

⠀⠀⠀⠀know what you're

talking

⠀⠀ab out

Daily Godot Tip #24: Statements can be put across multiple lines using backslashes or parentheses (programming.dev)
 

Putting a backslash after a part of the statement basically means ignore any newlines between this and the next characters so you can indent it however you want

45
Daily Godot Tip #23: If you have a large variable name that is similar to other variable names, to make smart typing choose it first you can type some characters from many of the words in L to R order (programming.dev)
 

This lets you type parts that are differentiated from the other variables quicker while still having enough to smart pick it

Daily Godot Tip #22: The replace_by function can be used if you need to replace a certain node with another while keeping all children within the scene in c/godot@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case

Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)

Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)

61
Daily Godot Tip #22: The replace_by function can be used if you need to replace a certain node with another while keeping all children within the scene (programming.dev)
 

If you do this remember to free the old one (or have some way of accessing it) since the engine won't do it for you

49
Daily Godot Tip #21: The print_debug function, in addition to printing out what you entered to print, also logs the current stack frame you printed from (programming.dev)
 

This is useful to see where specific prints are happening

68
Daily Godot Tip #20: You can click the middle mouse button over a script name to close it. The same works for scenes (programming.dev)
 

Alternatives to doing this would be to right click and then hit the close button or to use the hotkey for it (defaults to ctrl + w)

94
Daily Godot Tip #19: print_tree when called in a node prints out the node and all of its children to the console. print_tree_pretty does the same but makes it look more like a graphical representation (programming.dev)
 

Missed some days due to exams but more daily posts should be happening now

Database Corruption Maintenance (00:01 - 06:00 UTC Dec 2) in c/meta@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Was an issue with the upgrade script when upgrading to 0.19.5

85
Daily Godot Tip #18: If you are using floats but want to make sure value checks aren't messed up by floating-point precision, godot has a built in is_equal_approx(float, float) function (programming.dev)
 

This is usable in any script. It checks to see if the two values differ by a very small value

Alt text: Code that says print(is_equal_approx(1, 0.99999999999)) and then the console log which has printed out true.

[Duplicate bug, disregard] Duplicate listing of !til@lemmy.world in search in c/meta@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Caused by the same db issue thats been causing issues

123
Daily Godot Tip #17: If you need to test your game on web, instead of exporting and uploading to something like itch.io, Godot has a built in Run in Browser button (programming.dev)
 

This will be available to click on if you have a web export template

Alt text: Clicking on the Remote Debug button in the top right of the Godot Editor and a menu popping up that says Run in Browser on a button, and then Start HTTP Server on a button

Yeah they appear in the feeds. So people primarily use it through sub and local sorts atm

old is still supported, what comment section are you trying to look at

Newer communities arent affected

Daily Godot Tip #16: If you need to debug collisions, theres a setting under Debug at the top called "Visible Collision Shapes" that show you all the collision shapes and thus when they would intersec (programming.dev)
 

Theres similar settings for paths, navigation, and avoidance

Alt text: Hovering over the Visible Collision Shapes setting in the editor and a tooltip showing with "When this option is enabled, collision shapes and raycast nodes (for 2D and 3D) will be visible in the running project"

it cant have the same slug, just for the idea of remaking

it doesnt fully break communities, you just cant look at the page for the community and new people cant sub (but they can still be posted and read from). humor has still been active with posts while broken

next downtime hopefully should be soon to do another round of fixes

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Theoretically remaking the community is the exact same as moving it to another instance since new communities arent affected. Everythings been getting worked on openly in the support channel on discord/matrix so if anyone wants to help can help get things fixed there

Programming Humor community is missing? in c/meta@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Been getting worked on, last downtime fixed some of the issues but script still needs to be adjusted a bit since some communities break again a bit after being fixed

46
Daily Godot Tip #15: You can quickly increment or decrement number inputs using modifier keys + the arrow keys (programming.dev)
 

Up or down changes the value by 1. Up/Down plus shift being held changes it by 10. Up/Down plus ctrl changes it by 100. Up/Down plus alt changes it by 0.1

Alt text: The x value in the position variable changing by values of 1, then 10, then 100, then 0.1 from different key combinations.

Since Lemmy v0.19.4 introduced community visibility settings, why not make this community local only? in c/meta@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago (7 children)

People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site

Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with

Problem with !data_structures in c/meta@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

There was some maintenance to try to fix things but things ended up not being resolved so had to be rolled back and there should be another maintenance period in the future again
