Most basic 3D game object, parent of all 3D-related nodes.

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

Most basic 3D game object, with a 3D :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` and visibility settings. All other 3D game objects inherit from Spatial. Use ``Spatial`` as a parent node to move, scale, rotate and show/hide children in a 3D project.

Affine operations (rotate, scale, translate) happen in parent's local coordinate system, unless the ``Spatial`` object is set as top-level. Affine operations in this coordinate system correspond to direct affine operations on the ``Spatial``'s transform. The word local below refers to this coordinate system. The coordinate system that is attached to the ``Spatial`` object itself is referred to as object-local coordinate system.

Signals
-------

.. _class_Spatial_signal_visibility_changed:

- **visibility_changed** **(** **)**

Emitted when node visibility changes.

Constants
---------

.. _class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED:

.. _class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_ENTER_WORLD:

.. _class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_EXIT_WORLD:

.. _class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_VISIBILITY_CHANGED:

- **NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED** = **2000** --- Spatial nodes receives this notification when their global transform changes. This means that either the current or a parent node changed its transform.

In order for :ref:`NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED<class_Spatial_constant_NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED>` to work, users first need to ask for it, with :ref:`set_notify_transform<class_Spatial_method_set_notify_transform>`.

- **NOTIFICATION_ENTER_WORLD** = **41** --- Spatial nodes receives this notification when they are registered to new :ref:`World<class_World>` resource.

- **NOTIFICATION_EXIT_WORLD** = **42** --- Spatial nodes receives this notification when they are unregistered from current :ref:`World<class_World>` resource.

- **NOTIFICATION_VISIBILITY_CHANGED** = **43** --- Spatial nodes receives this notification when their visibility changes.

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

.. _class_Spatial_property_gizmo:

- :ref:`SpatialGizmo<class_SpatialGizmo>` **gizmo**

+----------+------------------+
| *Setter* | set_gizmo(value) |
+----------+------------------+
| *Getter* | get_gizmo()      |
+----------+------------------+

The :ref:`SpatialGizmo<class_SpatialGizmo>` for this node. Used for example in :ref:`EditorSpatialGizmo<class_EditorSpatialGizmo>` as custom visualization and editing handles in Editor.

----

.. _class_Spatial_property_global_transform:

- :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` **global_transform**

+----------+-----------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_global_transform(value) |
+----------+-----------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_global_transform()      |
+----------+-----------------------------+

World space (global) :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` of this node.

----

.. _class_Spatial_property_rotation:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **rotation**

+----------+---------------------+
| *Setter* | set_rotation(value) |
+----------+---------------------+
| *Getter* | get_rotation()      |
+----------+---------------------+

Rotation part of the local transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).

**Note:** In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation "vector" is not meaningful.

----

.. _class_Spatial_property_rotation_degrees:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **rotation_degrees**
