All of these lovely pictures were inspired by the Riley Hopkins & Their Amazing Friends Zelda Podcast season.

I would 100% take a listen before looking though the spoilers below.

Godot Tip ｢Tile Collision With Tilemap and a Physics Body｣

Posted by SysL, on January 24, 2025. [Link]

This is how you can detect what tiles you are colliding with when using a Physics Body.

extends Node2D

@export var area: Area2D

@export var map: TileMap

func _ready():

area.body_shape_entered.connect(area_entered)

func area_entered(_body_rid: RID, _body: Node2D, _body_shape_index: int, _local_shape_index: int):

map.erase_cell(0,map.get_coords_for_body_rid(_body_rid))

Godot Weird Problem：Viewport Texture Error with Model

Posted by SysL, on January 23, 2025. [Link]

In Godot, if you set a ViewPort Texture directly on a Material Albedo you will receive a warning when running your game from the editor. This error appears to be harmless in game but it is annoying.

To work around it, you can set it in code:

Grab a reference to the mesh
Grab a reference to the viewport/subviewport
In the _ready() callback, set the texture.

@onready var mesh_instance_3d: MeshInstance3D = $MeshInstance3D

@onready var sub_viewport: SubViewport = $SubViewport

func _ready() -> void:

mesh_instance_3d.get_surface_override_material(0).albedo_texture = sub_viewport.get_texture()

This is not likely to be fixed anytime soon, it's been open since 2022...

Godot Tip ｢Game-Isometric Camera｣

Posted by SysL, on January 23, 2025. [Link]

Using Node: Camera3D

Projection: Orthogonal
Rotation: -30, 45, 0 (XYZ)
Size: 8M-10M (Based on Pixel Size)
Far: 200M (Fixes issues with Orthogonal Shadows) [Calinou, Godot Issue 58332, Feb 19, 2022]

Quick Code Note for Camera (You may have to rotate input):

var direction := (Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).rotated(Vector3.UP, main_camera.rotation.y).normalized()
