Moraguma's Jam Essentials

Hey! This here is a compilation of a couple of autoloads and scripts I use for pretty much every jam game I make. You can play those games on my itch page!

SceneManager

Autoload used to manage transitions between scenes

Return type	Method	Description
void	goto_scene(path: String)	Transitions to the specified scene
void	goto_scene_and_call(path:String, method_name: String, parameters: Array)	Transitions to the specified scene and calls the specified method on its root node
void	restart()	Transitions to the current scene, effectively restarting it

GlobalCamera

Autoload used to manage camera movement and animate transitions. At every frame, will linearly interpolate its position to the specified aim, if any

Return type	Method	Description
void	add_trauma(amount: float = 0.5)	Adds camera shake
void	follow_node(node: Node2D)	Sets camera to follow the specified node
void	follow_pos(pos: Vector2)	Sets camera to follow the specified position
void	snap_to_aim()	Instantly snaps position to the given aim, if any

SoundController

Autoload used to play SFX and music. AudioStreamPlayers containing the SFX and music should be added as children of SFX and Music nodes. Sounds should be referred to by their node names

This node will interpolate between songs

The button scripts have simple functions that can be modified through the exported values

TransitionButton

Type	Variable	Description
String	transition_path	Transition scene's path

CameraFocusButton

Focuses the GlobalCamera on the specified position. The given position should be the center of the screen we want to focus on.
