To use these properties correctly, check Animating bullets.

Spawn is the spawning animation, Shoot is the shooting animation, delete is the destroying animation, idle is the standard bullet animation, waiting is the animation when it’s been spawned but not yet shot.

• ☄️Idle/Spawn/Shoot/Waiting/Delete : ☄️AnimState for each state of a bullet’s life.

• ☄️More : an array of ☄️AnimStates. They will be globally registered. You can use these animations with [☄️change_animation(bullet:Dictionary, anim ID:String, RID): provide the bullet dictionnary and bullet RID and you can change the bullet’s animation with a new animation ID. It’s the ID written in the ☄️AnimState. It can be any previously registered ID from any bullet.](https://dark-peace.notion.site/change_animation-bullet-Dictionary-anim-ID-String-RID-provide-the-bullet-dictionnary-and-bullet--a90a59fcd2eb4918aa3d1147b1f6deeb) but a more efficient function will be added in the future.

• 🌀The textures, collision shapes and sounds of every state the bullet can be in.

• Modulate : gradient to determine the bullet’s color. Use a same-color gradient to use a single color.

  <aside> 💡 Tip : save your gradient if you want to reuse it later

  </aside>

• Modulate loop : does it go back to the start of the gradient once its end is reached ?

• ☄️No rotation : the bullet’s sprite will not rotate no matter what.

• ☄️ Z Index : Z Index of the bullet. A value of 0 will automatically change to the z_index value of Spawning.

  <aside> ⚠️

  Putting your bullets on different z levels will cost in performance and memory due to the way _draw() calls work in Godot. It’s better to keep this value at 0 and change the global z_index of Spawning.tscn.

  </aside>

• ☄️Trails :

  • Lenght : pixel length of the trail. 0 will disable the trail feature.
  • Width : pixel width of the trail.
  • Modulate : trail color.
  • Gradient : use a gradient instead of a full color
  • Fade out : the trail becomes more transparent the further it is from the bullet.
  • Thin out : the width gets reduced the further it is from the bullet.
  • Smooth : The lesser the value, the less you see the segments of the trail but the more it impacts the performances. (yeah yeah, so it’s like anti-smoothness. High value = low smoothness)
