Scripting

A Pixelpart effect played with a PixelpartEffect or PixelpartEffect2D node in your scene can be modified at runtime with a script. This can be used to dynamically make an effect react on whatever is happening in your scene.

Effect inputs

The following example shows how an effect input can be set with GDScript:

func _ready():
    # Set effect input "Size" to 2.0
    $SampleEffect.set_input_float("Size", 2.0)

Triggers

The following example shows how a trigger can be activated with GDScript:

func _ready():
    # Activate the trigger "Event"
    $SampleEffect.activate_trigger("Event")
