Prop Placer

Prop Placer is an editor plugin for Godot 4.3+ to help you organize and place assets in your 3D world.

Prop Placer supports any PackedScene files (.tscn, .gltf, .blend, etc.)

Currently implemented features

  • Grid support
  • Align to surface
  • Multiple assets selection (by holding Ctrl or Shift). When placing, random asset will be picked from the selection

Installation

The plugin is available in the Asset Library.

Follow Godot documentation on how to install and enable plugins.

How to use

  1. After enabling the plugin, open the "Prop Placer" tab at the bottom of the window.
  2. First, you will have to create a collection. Enter its name and click the + button in the top right corner.
  3. Save the file somewhere in your project.
  4. Drag and drop your assets into empty space on the right.
  5. Select the asset you want to place from the list. Right click if you want to remove it.
  6. In the top left corner, click the button that says "Select" and select a node. Objects will be spawned as children of this node. Click again to select another node.

You should now be able to place the asset.

prop_placer's Issues

Self-collision issue with the object being placed

When deactivating the grid option, and the object one is about to place is a PhysicsBody or has a collision object inside of it, the raycast which is used for determening the position of the mouse cursor detects the preview object and tries to adjust its position. This results in the preview object moving closer to the camera repeatedly, after which snapping back to the actual scene geometry. This is best explained by having a look here:

The raycast detects the goal as a collision object, even thouhgh it should simply be a preview object without collision before placing.

Error whenever opening a property in the inspector

Whenever I click on a property in the inspector (for example a material or a color gradient) it doesn't open the menu for editing the property, but it throws an error saying this
Condition "plugins_list.has(p_plugin)" is true.
This issue can be observed here, where I try to edit the gradient color of a GPUParticle3D Node:
inspector_broken.webm
I disabled all other plugins I have and it turned out that it is indeed this one which is causing the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea on why this might be happening. I ran Godot using the terminal and got this output for opening the ParticleProcessMaterial and the GradientTexture:

ERROR: Condition "plugins_list.has(p_plugin)" is true.
   at: add_plugin (editor/editor_node.cpp:7568)
ERROR: Condition "plugins_list.has(p_plugin)" is true.
   at: add_plugin (editor/editor_node.cpp:7568)

This seems to occur for all resources which are inside of another resource (in this case GradientTexture1D in ParticleProcessMaterial).

Increase the default size of the collection creation and import windows

The size of the file dialogs for creating new collections and importing them is just way too small:

This can be very quickly and easily solved by going into the gui_handler.gd script and adding two small lines to adjust the default size of these windows:

This results in windows which have a much more reasonable size:
