EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin
========================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Used by the editor to define Spatial gizmo types.

Description
-----------

``EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin`` allows you to define a new type of Gizmo. There are two main ways to do so: extending ``EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin`` for the simpler gizmos, or creating a new :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` type. See the tutorial in the documentation for more info.

To use ``EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin``, register it using the :ref:`EditorPlugin.add_spatial_gizmo_plugin<class_EditorPlugin_method_add_spatial_gizmo_plugin>` method first.

- void **add_material** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`SpatialMaterial<class_SpatialMaterial>` material **)**

Adds a new material to the internal material list for the plugin. It can then be accessed with :ref:`get_material<class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_material>`. Should not be overridden.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_can_be_hidden:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **can_be_hidden** **(** **)** |virtual|

Override this method to define whether the gizmo can be hidden or not. Returns ``true`` if not overridden.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_commit_handle:

- void **commit_handle** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo, :ref:`int<class_int>` index, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` restore, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` cancel=false **)** |virtual|

Override this method to commit gizmo handles. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_create_gizmo:

- :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` **create_gizmo** **(** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` spatial **)** |virtual|

Override this method to return a custom :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` for the spatial nodes of your choice, return ``null`` for the rest of nodes. See also :ref:`has_gizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_has_gizmo>`.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_create_handle_material:

- void **create_handle_material** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` billboard=false, :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` texture=null **)**

Creates a handle material with its variants (selected and/or editable) and adds them to the internal material list. They can then be accessed with :ref:`get_material<class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_material>` and used in :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo.add_handles<class_EditorSpatialGizmo_method_add_handles>`. Should not be overridden.

You can optionally provide a texture to use instead of the default icon.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_create_icon_material:

- void **create_icon_material** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` texture, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` on_top=false, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color=Color( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) **)**

Creates an icon material with its variants (selected and/or editable) and adds them to the internal material list. They can then be accessed with :ref:`get_material<class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_material>` and used in :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo.add_unscaled_billboard<class_EditorSpatialGizmo_method_add_unscaled_billboard>`. Should not be overridden.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_create_material:

- void **create_material** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` billboard=false, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` on_top=false, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` use_vertex_color=false **)**

Creates an unshaded material with its variants (selected and/or editable) and adds them to the internal material list. They can then be accessed with :ref:`get_material<class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_material>` and used in :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo.add_mesh<class_EditorSpatialGizmo_method_add_mesh>` and :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo.add_lines<class_EditorSpatialGizmo_method_add_lines>`. Should not be overridden.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_handle_name:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_handle_name** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo, :ref:`int<class_int>` index **)** |virtual|

Override this method to provide gizmo's handle names. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_handle_value:

- :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **get_handle_value** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo, :ref:`int<class_int>` index **)** |virtual|

Gets actual value of a handle from gizmo. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_material:

- :ref:`SpatialMaterial<class_SpatialMaterial>` **get_material** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo=null **)**

Gets material from the internal list of materials. If an :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` is provided, it will try to get the corresponding variant (selected and/or editable).

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_name:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_name** **(** **)** |virtual|

Override this method to provide the name that will appear in the gizmo visibility menu.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_get_priority:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_priority** **(** **)** |virtual|

Override this method to set the gizmo's priority. Higher values correspond to higher priority. If a gizmo with higher priority conflicts with another gizmo, only the gizmo with higher priority will be used.

All built-in editor gizmos return a priority of ``-1``. If not overridden, this method will return ``0``, which means custom gizmos will automatically override built-in gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_has_gizmo:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_gizmo** **(** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` spatial **)** |virtual|

Override this method to define which Spatial nodes have a gizmo from this plugin. Whenever a :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` node is added to a scene this method is called, if it returns ``true`` the node gets a generic :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` assigned and is added to this plugin's list of active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_is_handle_highlighted:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_handle_highlighted** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo, :ref:`int<class_int>` index **)** |virtual|

Gets whether a handle is highlighted or not. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_is_selectable_when_hidden:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_selectable_when_hidden** **(** **)** |virtual|

Override this method to define whether a Spatial with this gizmo should be selectable even when the gizmo is hidden.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_redraw:

- void **redraw** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo **)** |virtual|

Callback to redraw the provided gizmo. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.

----

.. _class_EditorSpatialGizmoPlugin_method_set_handle:

- void **set_handle** **(** :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` gizmo, :ref:`int<class_int>` index, :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>` camera, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` point **)** |virtual|

Update the value of a handle after it has been updated. Called for this plugin's active gizmos.
