Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **DrawFlags**:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_TRANSPARENT:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_TRANSPARENT** = ``0``

If set, the texture's transparency and the opacity are used to make those parts of the sprite invisible.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_SHADED:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_SHADED** = ``1``

If set, lights in the environment affect the sprite.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_DOUBLE_SIDED:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_DOUBLE_SIDED** = ``2``

If set, texture can be seen from the back as well. If not, the texture is invisible when looking at it from behind.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST** = ``3``

Disables the depth test, so this object is drawn on top of all others. However, objects drawn after it in the draw order may cover it.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_FIXED_SIZE:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_FIXED_SIZE** = ``4``

Label is scaled by depth so that it always appears the same size on screen.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_MAX:

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

:ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` **FLAG_MAX** = ``5``

Represents the size of the :ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` enum.

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

----

.. _enum_SpriteBase3D_AlphaCutMode:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **AlphaCutMode**:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED:

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

:ref:`AlphaCutMode<enum_SpriteBase3D_AlphaCutMode>` **ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED** = ``0``

This mode performs standard alpha blending. It can display translucent areas, but transparency sorting issues may be visible when multiple transparent materials are overlapping.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD:

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

:ref:`AlphaCutMode<enum_SpriteBase3D_AlphaCutMode>` **ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD** = ``1``

This mode only allows fully transparent or fully opaque pixels. Harsh edges will be visible unless some form of screen-space antialiasing is enabled (see :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/anti_aliasing/quality/screen_space_aa<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/anti_aliasing/quality/screen_space_aa>`). On the bright side, this mode doesn't suffer from transparency sorting issues when multiple transparent materials are overlapping. This mode is also known as *alpha testing* or *1-bit transparency*.

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_OPAQUE_PREPASS:

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

:ref:`AlphaCutMode<enum_SpriteBase3D_AlphaCutMode>` **ALPHA_CUT_OPAQUE_PREPASS** = ``2``

This mode draws fully opaque pixels in the depth prepass. This is slower than :ref:`ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED<class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED>` or :ref:`ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD<class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD>`, but it allows displaying translucent areas and smooth edges while using proper sorting.

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

----

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_property_offset:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **offset** = ``Vector2(0, 0)``
