cancel() -> void

Cancels the active manipulation action.

try_demolish

1

try_demolish(p_manipulatable: Manipulatable) -> ManipulationData

Attempts to demolish the given manipulatable object and returns manipulation data for result inspection. Only succeeds if the object is configured as demolishable.

p_manipulatable: Manipulatable - Component to demolish

demolish

1

demolish(p_manipulatable: Manipulatable) -> bool

Demolishes a manipulatable object and returns true when the object is successfully removed. p_manipulatable: Manipulatable - Component to demolish; defaults to active manipulatable when null

rotate

1

3
4

rotate(
    p_target: Node,
    degrees: float
) -> bool

Rotates the target node by the specified degrees. Delegates to ManipulationParent’s transform coordination.

flip_horizontal

1

flip_horizontal(p_target: Node) -> bool

Flips the target node horizontally. Delegates to ManipulationParent’s transform coordination.

flip_vertical

1

flip_vertical(p_target: Node) -> bool

Flips the target node vertically. Delegates to ManipulationParent’s transform coordination.

get_targeted

1

get_targeted() -> Node

Get the root node of the current targeted object for this manipulation system

set_targeted

1

set_targeted(p_obj_root: Node) -> void

Sets the manipulation root to be the obj root

Private Methods

_are_dependencies_ready

1

_are_dependencies_ready() -> bool

Flags: private

Validates that all required dependencies are properly set. Returns list of validation issues (empty if valid). Checks if all critical dependencies are ready for operation. Returns true if the system can safely process operations.

_ensure_manipulation_settings

1

_ensure_manipulation_settings() -> void

Flags: private

Ensures _manipulation_settings is initialized with a default instance if null. This prevents string formatting crashes when dependencies haven’t been resolved yet. The default will be replaced with the real settings when resolve_gb_dependencies() is called.

_validate_move_preconditions

1
2
3
4

_validate_move_preconditions(
    p_root: Node,
    p_move_data: ManipulationData
) -> String

Flags: private

Validates all preconditions for move operation. Returns empty string if all validations pass, otherwise returns failure reason.

_check_dependencies_resolved

1

_check_dependencies_resolved() -> bool

Flags: private

Attempts to move a targeted object. Checks if dependencies have been properly resolved. Returns false and logs error if not resolved.

_get_unsupported_node_type_message

1

_get_unsupported_node_type_message(p_node_class: String) -> String

Flags: private

Gets the unsupported node type error message. p_node_class The class name of the unsupported node

_start_move

1

_start_move(p_data: ManipulationData) -> bool

Flags: private

Creates a manipulation (move) copy and prepares rule validation.

Flow:

  1. Clone source manipulatable root via create_copy.
  2. Parent under manipulation parent node.
  3. Reset transform if configured.
  4. Align initial global position to the parent root. Parent root is responsible for moving object.
  5. Initialize placement validation rules using IndicatorManager.
  6. Disable configured physics layers on the original source.

Returns true if setup succeeded; false if rule setup failed.

_unhandled_input

1

_unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void

Flags: private

event: InputEvent - Input event to process for manipulation controls

_input

1

_input(event: InputEvent) -> void

Flags: private

Route standard input to unhandled to support tests or scenes that call _input directly.

_perform_manipulation_actions

1

_perform_manipulation_actions(event: InputEvent) -> void

Flags: private

_finish

1

_finish(p_data: ManipulationData) -> void

Flags: private

_on_mode_changed(p_mode: GBEnums.Mode) -> void

Flags: private

_process

1

_process(_delta: float) -> void

Flags: private

While moving, keep the target copy aligned with the positioner so tests detect movement shifts.

_on_target_changed

2
3
4

_on_target_changed(
    p_new: Node,
    p_old: Node
) -> void

Flags: private

NOTE: _process removed. Movement visuals are driven by reparenting the move copy under the positioner.

_on_preview_changed(p_preview: Node) -> void

Flags: private

_disable_selected_physics(p_container: Node2D) -> void

Flags: private

Disables physics layers for objects during manipulation.

_enable_selected_physics

1

_enable_selected_physics() -> void

Flags: private

Re-enables physics layers that were disabled during manipulation.

_on_source_tree_exiting

1

_on_source_tree_exiting() -> void
