  42. Description
  43. -----------
  44. This node takes its parent :ref:`Path2D<class_path2d>`, and returns the coordinates of a point within it, given a distance from the first vertex.
  45. It is useful for making other nodes follow a path, without coding the movement pattern. For that, the nodes must be descendants of this node. Then, when setting an offset in this node, the descendant nodes will move accordingly.
  46. Member Function Description
  47. ---------------------------
  48. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_offset:
  49. - void **set_offset** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` offset **)**
  50. Sets the distance from the first vertex, measured in pixels along the path. This sets this node's position to a point within the path.
  51. .. _class_PathFollow2D_get_offset:
  52. - :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_offset** **(** **)** const
  53. Returns the distance along the path in pixels.
  54. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_h_offset:
  55. - void **set_h_offset** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` h_offset **)**
  56. Moves this node horizontally. As this node's position will be set every time its offset is set, this allows many PathFollow2D to share the same curve (and thus the same movement pattern), yet not return the same position for a given path offset.
  57. A similar effect may be achieved moving this node's descendants.
  58. .. _class_PathFollow2D_get_h_offset:
  59. - :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_h_offset** **(** **)** const
  60. Returns the horizontal displacement this node has from its parent :ref:`Path2D<class_path2d>`.
  61. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_v_offset:
  62. - void **set_v_offset** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` v_offset **)**
  63. Moves the PathFollow2D vertically, for the same reasons of :ref:`set_h_offset<class_PathFollow2D_set_h_offset>`.
  64. .. _class_PathFollow2D_get_v_offset:
  65. - :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_v_offset** **(** **)** const
  66. Returns the vertical displacement this node has from its parent :ref:`Path2D<class_path2d>`.
  67. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_unit_offset:
  68. - void **set_unit_offset** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` unit_offset **)**
  69. Sets the distance from the first vertex, considering 0.0 as the first vertex and 1.0 as the last. This is just another way of expressing the offset within the path, as the offset supplied is multiplied internally by the path's length.
  70. .. _class_PathFollow2D_get_unit_offset:
  71. - :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_unit_offset** **(** **)** const
  72. Returns the distance along the path as a number in the range 0.0 (for the first vertex) to 1.0 (for the last).
  73. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_rotate:
  74. - void **set_rotate** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enable **)**
  75. If set, this node rotates to follow the path, making its descendants rotate.
  76. .. _class_PathFollow2D_is_rotating:
  77. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_rotating** **(** **)** const
  78. Returns whether this node rotates to follow the path.
  79. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_cubic_interpolation:
  80. - void **set_cubic_interpolation** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enable **)**
  81. The points along the :ref:`Curve2D<class_curve2d>` of the :ref:`Path2D<class_path2d>` are precomputed before use, for faster calculations. The point at the requested offset is then calculated interpolating between two adjacent cached points. This may present a problem if the curve makes sharp turns, as the cached points may not follow the curve closely enough.
  82. There are two answers to this problem: Either increase the number of cached points and increase memory consumption, or make a cubic interpolation between two points at the cost of (slightly) slower calculations.
  83. This method controls whether the position between two cached points is interpolated linearly, or cubicly.
  84. .. _class_PathFollow2D_get_cubic_interpolation:
  85. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_cubic_interpolation** **(** **)** const
  86. This method returns whether the position between two cached points (see :ref:`set_cubic_interpolation<class_PathFollow2D_set_cubic_interpolation>`) is interpolated linearly, or cubicly.
  87. .. _class_PathFollow2D_set_loop:
  88. - void **set_loop** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` loop **)**
  89. If set, any offset outside the path's length (whether set by :ref:`set_offset<class_PathFollow2D_set_offset>` or :ref:`set_unit_offset<class_PathFollow2D_set_unit_offset>` will wrap around, instead of stopping at the ends. Set it for cyclic paths.
  90. .. _class_PathFollow2D_has_loop:
  91. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_loop** **(** **)** const
  92. Returns whether this node wraps its offsets around, or truncates them to the path ends.
