More sponge stippling. Really good for dry / old rust effects:

My take on a Fallout Pistol:

I used sponge stippling for my chipping effects.

I have my Actor class extend from Node so it can be attached to anything. That's why I cast to the explicit type in the component onready.

This is an old video of the first draft of my setup: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXvZ...

(I've switch to Actor instead of Entity now to avoid confusion with ECSs)

So I end up doing:

So I end up doing:

@onready var actor_ref: Actor = get_parent()
@onready var body_ref: CharacterBody3D = get_parent()

My problem was getting a reference to the actor from inside the component:

(in this example actor is a CharacterBody3D with an Actor class)

if you declare it as

@onready var actor_ref: Actor = get_parent()

but then you lose autocomplete for the CharacterBody3D that actor inherits from.

I self enforce the node hierarchy and naming conventions so components are only ever direct children of actors.

i use it like this:

var inventory_component: InventoryComponent = actor.get_component("InventoryComponent")

if inventory_component:
# actor has inventory component

No it doesn't. And I got shot down on reddit for asking for a workaround :-/

I use GDScript. I have a class (Actor) that can have components with the following script:

func get_component(component_name: String) -> Component:
return get_node_or_null(component_name)

Congratulations to you all!
