ModuleAssistant

USE THIS AT YOUR (CODE'S) OWN RISK!!!

Helper tool for making engine modules in Godot 4 (and 3, technically).

This is a little thingamabob I initially made in an evening to automate all the set, get, and bind functions needed to register variables in Godot C++ modules. I figured this would be a one-and-done project, yet I keep returning to it to add things I want/need as I work on modules, so we'll see where it goes in the future.

Features

• Generates set, get, and binding functions for variables

• Can generate several different types of variables at once (when using static typing)

Usage

To use the variable code generator, list your variables, seperating them by commas.

• Any spaces will be deleted (ex: "My var 1, my var 2" will translate to Myvar1 and myvar2)

• You can type your variables with GDScript/Python syntax (ex: my_float:float), and that will be used instead of the default type.

• If no default type is set, it will default to "Variant". If no class is specified, it will give an error and not generate.

• There are not and will not be validity checks on types, so if you make a typo, that's on you. Luckily, you can always fix it and re-run the generator :P

When the files are generated, they will be stored in the data's user directory. The UI has a button that will automatically open this folder in your computer's file explorer.

Issues

Note: I may or may not address these

• The ADD_PROPERTY does not product valid code; the type will have to be manually corrected.

• Godot 3 support was not exactly intended: It moreso works because they happened to not change the ClassDB API between 3 and 4 much. That being said, the above ADD_PROPERTY issue is also going to be present for Godot 3.

• The GDScript to C++ converter is currently not done. Even when it eventually is, what it will output will probably have to be manually tweaked/added to before it is proper, usable code.
