A CSG Sphere shape.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

This node allows you to create a sphere for use with the CSG system.

\ **Note:** CSG nodes are intended to be used for level prototyping. Creating CSG nodes has a significant CPU cost compared to creating a :ref:`MeshInstance<class_MeshInstance>` with a :ref:`PrimitiveMesh<class_PrimitiveMesh>`. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.

- void **set_material** **(** :ref:`Material<class_Material>` value **)**
- :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **get_material** **(** **)**

The material used to render the sphere.

.. _class_CSGSphere_property_radial_segments:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **radial_segments** = ``12``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_radial_segments** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_radial_segments** **(** **)**

Number of vertical slices for the sphere.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGSphere_property_radius:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **radius** = ``1.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_radius** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_radius** **(** **)**

Radius of the sphere.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGSphere_property_rings:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **rings** = ``6``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_rings** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_rings** **(** **)**

Number of horizontal slices for the sphere.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CSGSphere_property_smooth_faces:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **smooth_faces** = ``true``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_smooth_faces** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_smooth_faces** **(** **)**

If ``true`` the normals of the sphere are set to give a smooth effect making the sphere seem rounded. If ``false`` the sphere will have a flat shaded look.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
