Procedure to spawn an item by the player

Godot client

• On godot client, in file normal_player.gd, in function _unhandled_input, set an action pressed

• emit a signal:

  	emit_signal(
    	"client_action_requested",
    	{
    		"action": "spawn",
    		"entity": "box50cm",
    		"spawn_position": item_spawn_position,
    		"scenename": "scenes/props/testbox/box_50cm.tscn",
    		"parent_id": parent.uuid,
    	}
    )
  

  • The entity is the object type we will need to create into the Horizon plugin genericprops
  • The spawn_position is the relative position (position) where spawn the item (often before the player)
  • the scenename is the path and file of the scene
  • the parent_id is the uuid of the parent id, for example the planet
