Flat 2D polygon shape for use with occlusion culling in :ref:`OccluderInstance3D<class_OccluderInstance3D>`.

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

**PolygonOccluder3D** stores a polygon shape that can be used by the engine's occlusion culling system. When an :ref:`OccluderInstance3D<class_OccluderInstance3D>` with a **PolygonOccluder3D** is selected in the editor, an editor will appear at the top of the 3D viewport so you can add/remove points. All points must be placed on the same 2D plane, which means it is not possible to create arbitrary 3D shapes with a single **PolygonOccluder3D**. To use arbitrary 3D shapes as occluders, use :ref:`ArrayOccluder3D<class_ArrayOccluder3D>` or :ref:`OccluderInstance3D<class_OccluderInstance3D>`'s baking feature instead.

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

- |void| **set_polygon**\ (\ value\: :ref:`PackedVector2Array<class_PackedVector2Array>`\ )
- :ref:`PackedVector2Array<class_PackedVector2Array>` **get_polygon**\ (\ )

The polygon to use for occlusion culling. The polygon can be convex or concave, but it should have as few points as possible to maximize performance.

The polygon must *not* have intersecting lines. Otherwise, triangulation will fail (with an error message printed).

**Note:** The returned array is *copied* and any changes to it will not update the original property value. See :ref:`PackedVector2Array<class_PackedVector2Array>` for more details.
