Cannot be used in 4.5?

[duasun]

I cannot Cyclops open menu in Godot 4.5, after I create block.

Everything else is configured as it should.

I've updated the main branch to be up to date with Godot 4.5. UV editing is not quite correct at the moment, but the rest of the addon should work.

What is the issue with UV?

[blackears]

It's in the middle of an update. I've not been able to finish it yet, but felt I needed to publish it since people were having compatibility problems with Godot 4.5.

Add this code if(CyclopsAutoload.currentTool != self.buttonName):
%hilight.visible = true
else:
%hilight.visible = false
pass

to the func _process(delta):

in tool_button_ref.gd

Make sure you add a variable name and name of the tool in the code to fix the Main Tool button selection hilights.

The highlight is supposed to update when events happen, not every frame. Is there a situation where the highlight is not displaying properly?

Also, I don't want this to depend on CyclopsAutoload. Eventually I want to get rid of that class. I've already removed a lot of what it does, but can't fully depricate it yet.

Well when i installed the plugin, the main tool button highlights never worked for me. It was quite annoying because I didn't know which tool was selected so i did that workaround. Im on 4.5.1 on a SteamDeck.
Now im trying to fix the block highlight, because it has lag when moving the camera. And another big issue when you copy and paste blocks that makes copying unusable.

I've checked in an alternate fix that works based on signals.

[blackears]

I don't think it's possible to fix that lag in the current system. That lag is baked in from how Godot passes input events to the viewport gizmos. As far as I know, there is no way to force a redraw when you need it.

The way around this is to create a custom main editor window where you have complete control over it. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time, but will be a huge amount of work, and I've been having a hard time finding enough time to just finish up my UV editor changes. Hopefully things will be better in the new year.

Or we could try a different approach. I noticed that you generate a mesh for each of the individual faces of the block when you select a face. Maybe you can do the same with selected blocks, generate the faces and have them be White, and selected faces can be a different color such as orange or yellow. Or ideally when you select a block, make it white and when you then select a face make the block dark and the selected face brighter. This way we can bypass what ever shader thats laging. Kinda how they did it with the ply plugin.

[blackears]

There isn't a shader causing a lag. It's how Godot redraws the editor window, if you're talking about what I think you are. Also, I want to draw the faces with the material assigned to them. The editing gizmos are drawn on top of them.
