Godot Typescript Testing (GoTT) 👼=👾⌨📃🧪

This is a simple testing project to use the Godot Engine and ECMAScript.

Requirements

1. Download and install nodejs
2. Download the Godot Editor with ECMAScript
3. Unpack the editor file and rename it to godot/godot.exe/godot.mono based on your OS
4. Put it to your path variables to access it from a terminal
5. Test the requirements by running godot --version and npm --version in a new terminal

Getting started

1. Run npm i to download all dependencies
2. Run npm run dev to start compling ts and opening the godot editor
3. Press the play button in the editor or run npm run start to start the game
4. You should see the current time coming from npm package dayjs

Open scripts from the editor

Inside the editor you are normally able to open a script inside the build in IDE.

But we use a compiled .mjs file for our scripts. .ts files can't be open in the editor.

So we need a workaround for this issue:

1. Goto Editor/Editor Settings/Text Editor/External
2. Check the Use External Editor
3. Add your installation path for nodejs to Exec Path
4. Paste open.js -f {file} to Exec Flags

When you open a script from scripts/generated/*.mjs you should be redirected to VSCode and the original .ts file should be open.

If you like to open the file in intellij use open.js -i idea -f {file}
