Manager

inherits SubViewport

Usage

This is the backbone of the demo.

The Manager is responsible for the scene management and background music.

Setup

Create a new scene with a type of Manager and make it the main scene.
Set the Bgm from either in-editor or through code.
Add scenes to be run in order with register_scene()
Create a child of type AnimationPlayer and create a new animation with a Call Method Track
Add keyframes at points where you wish the scene to be changed. Call method set_scene(scene_number).
Call start_audio() and $AnimationPlayer.play() to start the bgm and scene timeline

Example script

extends Manager

var scene1: PackedScene = preload("res://entities/scene_1.tscn");
var scene2: PackedScene = preload("res://entities/scene_2.tscn");
var scene3: PackedScene = preload("res://entities/scene_3.tscn");
var scene4: PackedScene = preload("res://entities/scene_4.tscn");

func _ready() -> void:
    register_scene(scene1);
	register_scene(scene2);
	register_scene(scene3);
	register_scene(scene4);

    start_audio();
    $AnimationPlayer.play("timeline");

Properties

Type	Name	Default
`String`	bgm	`Null`
`Array[PackedScene]`	scenes	`Array[PackedScene]`
`int`	beat_count (unused)	`Null`

bgm Stores the path to the background music as String

scenes stores the registered scenes. Usually you shouldn't edit this manually

beat_count Unused

Methods

Returns	Name
`void`	`set_scene(number: int)`
`void`	`register_scene(scene: PackedScene)`
`void`	`start_audio()`

set_scene(number: int)

Changes the current scene to the scene at index number in scenes

register_scene(scene: PackedScene)

Registers the scene to the manager.

Each registered scene is added to scenes and gets preloaded into memory.

The scene number is the scene's index in scenes, so the first scene registered gets number 0, the next one gets number 1 and so on.

start_audio()

Calling this function will start playing back the bgm on the main bus.
