IndicatorCollisionTestSetup

Summary

Builds collision test parameters for a CollisionObject2D to enable placement indicators to perform accurate collision checks against object geometry.

Purpose: Converts CollisionObject2D shapes into testable RectCollisionTestingSetup instances for collision validation during placement operations.

Key Features: • Creates one RectCollisionTestingSetup per shape owner • Expands test areas using configurable shape_stretch_size • Supports CollisionShape2D and CollisionPolygon2D nodes • Comprehensive error reporting via issues array

Quick Start:

var test_setup = IndicatorCollisionTestSetup.new(collision_object, Vector2(16, 16), owning_node)
if test_setup.validate_setup():
    # Use test_setup.rect_collision_test_setups for collision testing
    pass

Advanced Documentation: For detailed usage, API reference, and troubleshooting, see: https://gridbuilding.pages.dev/api/v5.0.0/[CollisionTestSetup2D](../CollisionTestSetup2D/)

Dependencies: RectCollisionTestingSetup, GBGeometryUtils

Properties

collision_object: CollisionObject2D :: The CollisionObject2D being analyzed for collision testing.
owning_node: Node2D: The owning Node2D that contains this collision object (e.g., the test object or scene node). This provides context about which object this collision setup belongs to.
shape_stretch_size: Vector2: Size to stretch collision shapes for comprehensive tile coverage. Recommended: Use your tile size (e.g., Vector2(16, 16) for 16x16 tiles). See advanced documentation for detailed sizing guidance.
rect_collision_test_setups: Array[RectCollisionTestingSetup]: Array of RectCollisionTestingSetup instances, one per shape owner. Use these setups to perform collision tests for placement indicators.
issues: Array[ String] = []: Issues discovered during collision test setup. Check this array after initialization to identify configuration problems.

Methods

func_init( p_collision_object: CollisionObject2D, p_shape_stretch_size: Vector2, p_owning_node: Node2D ) -> void: Initializes collision test setup for the given CollisionObject2D.
funcadd_issue( p_issue: String ) -> void: Records an issue encountered during setup.
func free_testing_nodes( ) -> void: Frees all testing nodes created during setup. Call this when the setup is no longer needed to prevent memory leaks.
func validate_setup( ) -> bool: Validates the collision test setup and reports any issues. Returns true if setup is valid and ready for use, false otherwise.
func _create_rect_tests_for_collision_object( p_collision_object: CollisionObject2D ) -> Array[RectCollisionTestingSetup ]: Creates RectCollisionTestingSetup instances for each shape owner in the CollisionObject2D.
func _get_testing_rect_for_owner( p_shape_owner: Node2D ) -> Rect2: Calculates the testing rectangle for a shape owner node. Supports CollisionShape2D and CollisionPolygon2D nodes.
func _adjust_rect_to_testing_size( p_base_rect: Rect2, p_shape_owner_global_transform: Transform2D ) -> Rect2: Expands the rectangle by shape_stretch_size to ensure comprehensive tile coverage. Handles complex transforms by converting to squares when rotation/skew is present.
