Point and click nodes

Point and click nodes are simple 2D/3D nodes which expose an easy-to-use api to handle point and click games like ARPG.

Both share the same API.

Usually, you should put them as childs of a CharacterBody2D or CharacterBody3D.

These character nodes require a NavigationAgent2D or NavigationAgent3D as direct child and the world requires a NavigationRegion2D or NavigationRegion3D to work properly.

Once you have set these nodes, you have to link them inside the PointAndClick2D or PointAndClick3D and then you can make your character moving like this:

class_name MyPlayer extends CharacterPlayer2D


@onready var point_and_click_2d: PointAndClick2D = $PointAndClick2D


func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event.is_action_pressed("click_action"):
        point_and_click_2d.set_new_movement_position()

The character should be moving correcly.

In the 3D version, the api is the same but you must remember to bake the NavigationRegion3D, otherwise it will not work.

To see how them work, you can browse both

• examples/diablo_like/player/diablo_like_player.gd
• examples/top_down_3d/player/top_down_player.gd

Handling clicks in multiplayer

Remember to set the character as owned by your current peer, then add a MultiplayerSynchronizer node and replicate the NavigationAgent2/3D target property.

It should work seamlessly (otherwise I will implement an ad-hoc solution for it).
