## Description



Godot Node Extensions, AKA Godot NExt, is a Godot 3.1+ repository dedicated to collecting basic script classes that are currently unavailable in vanilla Godot.



As you might have noticed, Godot Engine's initial node offerings are general purpose and are intentionally not oriented towards particular types of games.



This repository's purpose is to create classes that fulfill a particular function and work out-of-the-box. Users should be able to use your class immediately after creating it. For nodes, don't be afraid to design ones that have an array of dynamically generated children. ;-)



Note: The repository is named after Nodes, but ultimately any general-purpose type is welcome here (References, Resources, etc.).



If you like the project, please star it. If you'd like to support its development, please [send tips to my Kofi](https://ko-fi.com/willnationsdev).

## How to Use



1. Download the repo directly (the AssetLib version is no longer maintained)



2. Copy the addons directory to any project you would like to use them in



3. Open Project Settings and go to the Plugins tab.



4. Find the `godot-next` plugin and select "Active" from the dropdown on the right-hand side.



5. You should now be able to create each new type of node in your project!



## How to Contribute



### Ideas

If you have an idea for a node that you would like to have added to the repository, create a new Issue.



### Scripts



**All** scripts must be script classes, i.e. scripts with [registered names](http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/step_by_step/scripting_continued.html#register-scripts-as-classes).



**All** scripts must have the author's name at the top.



**All** credits related to any associated script code or icons should be kept in the `ATTRIBUTIONS.md` file.



**All** scripts must adhere to the relevant language's styling conventions, modeled after Godot Docs examples and the Godot Engine source code.



**All C#** scripts must be submitted to a separate `addons/godot-next-cs` folder. This is to ensure that users who aren't using the Mono-enabled version of Godot do not have C# scripts present.



Submissions are **encouraged** to do the following:



1. Provide a 16x16 SVG icon for each submitted script.

2. Use statically-typed GDScript if submitting GDScript files.

3. Create mirrored versions of GDScript and C# scripts between folders.

4. Add your node(s)' information to the bottom of the README, if possible (less work for maintainers).



That's it! I hope you've got ideas of what you'd like to share with others.
