Question
I have a water plane texture that I need to tile around the player as they explore, I have some prototype code going but no matter what I try it visibly jumps if I move on more than one axis.
Does anyone have a better version of this code or know how to improve and fix it?
Here it is:
extends Node
# Define the player node when it loads in
@onready var player = $"Player"
@onready var scene = load("res://Assets/Enviroment/Water.tscn")
@onready var water = scene.instantiate()
var _stored_pos
var _stored_x = 0
var _stored_z = 0
# Define relative possible positions
const positions = [Vector3(0,0,0), Vector3(1,0,0), Vector3(-1,0,0), Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3(1,0,1), Vector3(-1,0,1), Vector3(0,0,-1), Vector3(1,0,-1), Vector3(-1,0,-1)]
func _ready():
# Set the stored position when it loads in
_stored_pos = player.position
_spawn(player.position)
func _spawn(center):
# get the player pos
var _player_pos = player.position
var _center_pos = center
# Variable to store how many were spawned
var item = 0
for child in $"Water_Container".get_children():
child.queue_free()
# For every possible spawning position, spawn one
for i in positions:
# Define what to spawn (water)
water = scene.instantiate()
# Spawn the water in the position * 90 to accomodate for size
var pos = positions[item] * 90
print(pos)
water.position = _player_pos + pos
print("spawning water")
$"Water_Container".add_child(water)
# Iterate the coutner
item += 1
func _process(delta: float):
var player_pos = player.position
var diff_x = player_pos.x - _stored_pos.x
var diff_z = player_pos.z - _stored_pos.z
if abs(diff_x) >= 67.5:
_stored_x += int(diff_x / 90)
_spawn(Vector3(_stored_x, 0, player_pos.z / 90))
_stored_pos.x = player_pos.x
if abs(diff_z) >= 45:
_stored_z += int(diff_z / 45)
_spawn(Vector3(player.position.x / 90, 0, _stored_z))
_stored_pos.z = player_pos.z
