<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <class name="Spatial" inherits="Node" category="Core" version="3.2"> <brief_description> Most basic 3D game object, parent of all 3D-related nodes. </brief_description> <description> Most basic 3D game object, with a 3D [Transform] and visibility settings. All other 3D game objects inherit from Spatial. Use [Spatial] as a parent node to move, scale, rotate and show/hide children in a 3D project. Affine operations (rotate, scale, translate) happen in parent's local coordinate system, unless the [Spatial] object is set as top-level. Affine operations in this coordinate system correspond to direct affine operations on the [Spatial]'s transform. The word local below refers to this coordinate system. The coordinate system that is attached to the [Spatial] object itself is referred to as object-local coordinate system. </description> <tutorials> <link>https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/3d/introduction_to_3d.html</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="force_update_transform"> <return type="void"> </return> <description> </description> </method> <method name="get_parent_spatial" qualifiers="const"> <return type="Spatial"> </return> <description> Returns the parent [Spatial], or an empty [Object] if no parent exists or parent is not of type [Spatial]. </description> </method> <method name="get_world" qualifiers="const"> <return type="World"> </return> <description> Returns the current [World] resource this [Spatial] node is registered to. </description> </method> <method name="global_rotate"> <return type="void"> </return> <argument index="0" name="axis" type="Vector3"> </argument> <argument index="1" name="angle" type="float"> </argument> <description> Rotates the global (world) transformation around axis, a unit [Vector3], by specified angle in radians.
