VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D
========================

**Inherits:** :ref:`VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D<class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D>` **<** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Automatically disables another node if not visible on screen.

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

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

VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D detects when it is visible on screen (just like :ref:`VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D<class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D>`) and automatically enables or disables the target node. The target node is disabled when **VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D** is not visible on screen (including when :ref:`CanvasItem.visible<class_CanvasItem_property_visible>` is ``false``), and enabled when the enabler is visible. The disabling is achieved by changing :ref:`Node.process_mode<class_Node_property_process_mode>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`EnableMode<enum_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_EnableMode>` **ENABLE_MODE_INHERIT** = ``0``

Corresponds to :ref:`Node.PROCESS_MODE_INHERIT<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_MODE_INHERIT>`.

Corresponds to :ref:`Node.PROCESS_MODE_ALWAYS<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_MODE_ALWAYS>`.

Property Descriptions

.. _class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_property_enable_mode:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`EnableMode<enum_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_EnableMode>` **enable_mode** = ``0``

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

- void **set_enable_mode** **(** :ref:`EnableMode<enum_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_EnableMode>` value **)**
- :ref:`EnableMode<enum_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_EnableMode>` **get_enable_mode** **(** **)**

Determines how the node is enabled. Corresponds to :ref:`ProcessMode<enum_Node_ProcessMode>`. Disabled node uses :ref:`Node.PROCESS_MODE_DISABLED<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_MODE_DISABLED>`.

.. _class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D_property_enable_node_path:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **enable_node_path** = ``NodePath("..")``

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

- void **set_enable_node_path** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` value **)**
- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **get_enable_node_path** **(** **)**

The path to the target node, relative to the **VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D**. The target node is cached; it's only assigned when setting this property (if the **VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D** is inside scene tree) and every time the **VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D** enters the scene tree. If the path is invalid, nothing will happen.
