# Godot Plugin Skill

Control Godot 4.x Editor through 30 built-in tools. Supports 80+ node types.

## First-Time Setup

If `godot_execute` tool is not available, install the gateway extension:

```bash
# From skill directory
./scripts/install-extension.sh

# Restart gateway
openclaw gateway restart
```

The extension files are in `extension/` directory.

## Quick Reference

### Core Tools

| Category | Key Tools |
|----------|-----------|
| **Scene** | `scene.create`, `scene.getCurrent`, `scene.open`, `scene.save` |
| **Node** | `node.find`, `node.create`, `node.delete`, `node.getData` |
| **Transform** | `transform.setPosition`, `transform.setRotation`, `transform.setScale` |
| **Debug** | `debug.tree`, `debug.screenshot`, `console.getLogs` |
| **Input** | `input.keyPress`, `input.mouseClick`, `input.actionPress` |
| **Editor** | `editor.play`, `editor.stop`, `editor.getState` |

## Common Workflows

### 1. Scene Creation

Use `godot_execute` tool:
- `godot_execute(tool="scene.create", parameters={rootType: "Node2D", name: "Level1"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="node.create", parameters={type: "CharacterBody2D", name: "Player"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="scene.save")`

### 2. Find & Modify Nodes

- `godot_execute(tool="node.find", parameters={name: "Player"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="node.getData", parameters={path: "Player"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="transform.setPosition", parameters={path: "Player", x: 100, y: 200})`

### 3. Game Testing with Input

- `godot_execute(tool="editor.play")`
- `godot_execute(tool="input.keyPress", parameters={key: "W"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="input.actionPress", parameters={action: "jump"})`
- `godot_execute(tool="debug.screenshot")`
- `godot_execute(tool="editor.stop")`

### 4. Check Logs

- `godot_execute(tool="console.getLogs", parameters={limit: 50})`
- `godot_execute(tool="console.getLogs", parameters={type: "error", limit: 20})`

## Tool Categories

### Console (2 tools)
- `console.getLogs` - Get logs from Godot log file {limit: 100, type: "error"|"warning"|""}
- `console.clear` - Placeholder (logs can't be cleared programmatically)

### Scene (5 tools)
- `scene.getCurrent` - Get current scene info
- `scene.list` - List all .tscn/.scn files
- `scene.open` - Open scene by path
- `scene.save` - Save current scene
- `scene.create` - Create new scene {rootType: "Node2D"|"Node3D"|"Control", name: "SceneName"}

### Node (6 tools)
- `node.find` - Find by name, type, or group
- `node.create` - Create node (80+ types: CSGBox3D, MeshInstance3D, ColorRect, etc.)
- `node.delete` - Delete node by path
- `node.getData` - Get node info, children, transform
- `node.getProperty` - Get property value
- `node.setProperty` - Set property value (Vector2/3 auto-converted)

### Transform (3 tools)
- `transform.setPosition` - Set position {x, y} or {x, y, z}
- `transform.setRotation` - Set rotation (degrees)
- `transform.setScale` - Set scale

### Editor (4 tools)
- `editor.play` - Play current or custom scene
- `editor.stop` - Stop playing
- `editor.pause` - Toggle pause
- `editor.getState` - Get playing state, version, project name

### Debug (3 tools)
- `debug.screenshot` - Capture viewport
- `debug.tree` - Get scene tree as text
- `debug.log` - Print message

### Input (7 tools) - For Game Testing
- `input.keyPress` - Press and release key {key: "W"}
- `input.keyDown` - Hold key down
- `input.keyUp` - Release key
- `input.mouseClick` - Click at position {x, y, button: "left"|"right"|"middle"}
- `input.mouseMove` - Move mouse to position {x, y}
- `input.actionPress` - Press input action {action: "jump"}
- `input.actionRelease` - Release input action

### Script (2 tools)
- `script.list` - List .gd files
- `script.read` - Read script content

### Resource (1 tool)
- `resource.list` - List files by extension

## Supported Keys for Input

```
A-Z, 0-9, SPACE, ENTER, ESCAPE, TAB, BACKSPACE, DELETE
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT
SHIFT, CTRL, ALT
F1-F12
```

## Node Types for Creation

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `Node2D` | 2D spatial |
| `Node3D` | 3D spatial |
| `Sprite2D` | 2D sprite |
| `CharacterBody2D` | 2D character |
| `CharacterBody3D` | 3D character |
| `RigidBody2D/3D` | Physics body |
| `Area2D/3D` | Trigger area |
| `Camera2D/3D` | Camera |
| `Label`, `Button` | UI elements |

## Tips

### Input Simulation
- Only works during **Play mode**
- Use `input.actionPress` for mapped actions (from Input Map)
- Use `input.keyPress` for direct key simulation

### Finding Nodes
```
node.find {name: "Player"}      # By name substring
node.find {type: "Sprite2D"}    # By exact type
node.find {group: "enemies"}    # By group
```

### Vector Properties
`node.setProperty` auto-converts dictionaries to Vector2/Vector3:
```
{path: "Cam", property: "zoom", value: {x: 2, y: 2}}  # → Vector2(2, 2)
```

### Console Logs
```
console.getLogs {limit: 50}           # Last 50 lines
console.getLogs {type: "error"}       # Errors only
console.getLogs {type: "warning"}     # Warnings only
```

## 🔐 Security: Model Invocation Setting

When publishing to ClawHub, you can configure `disableModelInvocation`:

| Setting | AI Auto-Invoke | User Explicit Request |
|---------|---------------|----------------------|
| `false` (default) | ✅ Allowed | ✅ Allowed |
| `true` | ❌ Blocked | ✅ Allowed |

### Recommendation: **`true`**

**Reason:** During Godot development, it's useful for AI to autonomously perform supporting tasks like checking scene tree, taking screenshots, and inspecting nodes.

**When to use `true`:** For sensitive tools (payments, deletions, message sending, etc.)
