3D polygon shape for use with occlusion culling in :ref:`OccluderInstance3D<class_OccluderInstance3D>`.

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

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

**ArrayOccluder3D** stores an arbitrary 3D polygon shape that can be used by the engine's occlusion culling system. This is analogous to :ref:`ArrayMesh<class_ArrayMesh>`, but for occluders.

See :ref:`OccluderInstance3D<class_OccluderInstance3D>`'s documentation for instructions on setting up occlusion culling.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_ArrayOccluder3D_property_indices:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`PackedInt32Array<class_PackedInt32Array>` **indices** = ``PackedInt32Array()`` :ref:`🔗<class_ArrayOccluder3D_property_indices>`

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

- |void| **set_indices**\ (\ value\: :ref:`PackedInt32Array<class_PackedInt32Array>`\ )
- :ref:`PackedInt32Array<class_PackedInt32Array>` **get_indices**\ (\ )

The occluder's index position. Indices determine which points from the :ref:`vertices<class_ArrayOccluder3D_property_vertices>` array should be drawn, and in which order.

\ **Note:** The occluder is always updated after setting this value. If creating occluders procedurally, consider using :ref:`set_arrays<class_ArrayOccluder3D_method_set_arrays>` instead to avoid updating the occluder twice when it's created.

**Note:** The returned array is *copied* and any changes to it will not update the original property value. See :ref:`PackedInt32Array<class_PackedInt32Array>` for more details.

- |void| **set_vertices**\ (\ value\: :ref:`PackedVector3Array<class_PackedVector3Array>`\ )
- :ref:`PackedVector3Array<class_PackedVector3Array>` **get_vertices**\ (\ )

The occluder's vertex positions in local 3D coordinates.

\ **Note:** The occluder is always updated after setting this value. If creating occluders procedurally, consider using :ref:`set_arrays<class_ArrayOccluder3D_method_set_arrays>` instead to avoid updating the occluder twice when it's created.

Sets :ref:`indices<class_ArrayOccluder3D_property_indices>` and :ref:`vertices<class_ArrayOccluder3D_property_vertices>`, while updating the final occluder only once after both values are set.
