I wonder if it's possible to make the exported 2D Array show up in the inspector as a grid of checkboxes instead of nested lists, and if so - how would you approach implementing it?🤔 Below's my try on visualizing what i want to achieve🙈 #godot #gamedev #indiedev - ThreadSky

You can totally do that!

See https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/editor/inspector_plugins.html for an example.

If you do manage to do it, I'd be interested in seeing the result!

The idea behind it is to have a super simple and fast way of "drawing" a level layout (level consists of simple grid of boxes).

Why bother with inspector? Paint it gimp and read the values from bitmap

karoldrzymala.pl•100 days ago

Especially if it’s for levels, each level has it’s own bitmap. Easy to edit and easy to inspect visually

Bonus: different colors might mean different things:)
And that’s how you build your first terrain editor 😅

[1/2] Very interesting concept. Personally, I would probably try the EditorPlugins approach. Somewhere, you would have to write changes to EditorProperty yourself and create a resource that will store this data (grid size and its data).

[2/2] Surely in the end (at least in my head), it will all come down to writing your own plugin. Godot itself is very flexible in this regard, it even has a thread on the subject in the docs. Although I am not so sure about this solution, it is probably the first thing I would try. :D Good luck!

Tbh i was afraid it will require messing around with the EditorPlugins - which seems a bit too complicated for my current godot skill level 😅 Tho, I guess it's as good opportunity to face this fear as any other, I'll try that, thanks!🤞

Probably this is harder in your head than probably it is in real life. Give it a shoot I bet it will be good knowledge! 😁
