About making convex polygon shapes

[Goutte]

This plugin is meant to be used along with a CollisionShape2D, and not a CollisionPolygon2D.

There is a Shape2D Resource named ConvexPolygonShape2D, but Godot's Editor is not activating a GUI to edit the points like it does for CollisionPolygon2D.

This is because the CollisionPolygon2D allows "concave" polygons by using multiple convex shapes internally.

How to generate a ConvexPolygonShape2D

1. Create a CollisionPolygon2D
2. Use the Editor to add/edit points
3. Ensure you made a single convex shape
4. Use the following Node to extract a ConvexPolygonShape2D from it.

@tool
extends Node
class_name CollisionPolygon2DConvexShapeExtractor


## Extracts a ConvexPolygonShape2D from a CollisionPolygon2D.
## THE SHAPE MUST BE CONVEX -- DO NOT MAKE CONCAVE SHAPES.
##
## Usage:
## - Add anywhere
## - Target an input polygon and an output shape
## - Reopen the scene in the Editor
## - Save the generated shape to a file using the Editor
##
## Be careful if you leave `shape` defined, it will write in it.


@export var polygon: CollisionPolygon2D
@export var shape: ConvexPolygonShape2D


func _ready():
	extract()


func extract() -> int:
	if polygon == null:
		push_error("CollisionPolygon2D is null")
		return ERR_CANT_ACQUIRE_RESOURCE
	
	if shape == null:
		shape = ConvexPolygonShape2D.new()
	
	shape.points = polygon.polygon
	
	return OK
