Installation doesn't work

[redlemonsydney]

No matter what project I add the addon/autogrid folder to, it won't let me enable the plugin, stating:

"Unable to load addon script from path: 'res://addons/AutoGrid/core.gd'. This might be due to a code error in that script. Disabling the addon at 'res://addons/AutoGrid/plugin.cfg' to prevent further errors."

It finds an error in every script in the AutoGrid folder:

• in all files except core, it only finds 2 errors, both of which are solved by removing "tool" at the top of the script (this is also 2 of the errors in core)
• in core, it finds 10 errors. 2 are the same as the above, 6 of them seem to be about "yield" being removed from godot 4, and the last 2 seem two (lines 10 and 21) seem to only have the use of "setget" in common, so maybe that's causing it?

Here's the core.gd error messages:

Line 1:Unexpected "Identifier" in class body.
Line 2:Unexpected "extends" in class body.
Line 10:Expected end of statement after variable declaration, found "Identifier" instead.
Line 21:Expected end of statement after variable declaration, found "Identifier" instead.
Line 146:"yield" was removed in Godot 4. Use "await" instead.
Line 146:Expected statement, found "(" instead.
Line 157:"yield" was removed in Godot 4. Use "await" instead.
Line 157:Expected statement, found "(" instead.
Line 1261:"yield" was removed in Godot 4. Use "await" instead.
Line 1261:Expected statement, found "(" instead.

I could try fixing those seemingly simple errors myself, but I don't know if that would break things further, especially since I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'd rather not risk it.

The only exception to all this is when I load the demo project - then it works perfectly fine. But if I put it into my own project, or into a demo/learning project by Godot, then it doesn't work.

The version I'm using is 4.2.2.

What should I do?

This addon first made for Godot 3.x, I think you downloaded the Godot 3.x version, can you make sure to download from here?

Note: There is still some visuals missing in Godot 4 version, I am working on it.

[redlemonsydney]

I tried downloading from the embedded link, but it still gave me the exact same scripts. Is there a chance you accidentally uploaded the Godot 3 version?

[XLIVE99]

I have published new release (v1.3) with some small improvements. Can you try that too? Can you share the errors or screenshot of the errors with me If it doesn't work?

[redlemonsydney]

I'll get back to you when I can, in a game jam rn

The addons folder isn't updated, only the demo project is

[XLIVE99]

@AlbinoElk Thanks, I forgot to update that. I will probably remove that addons folder in the future to avoid confusion. Regardless, I recommend to download from releases.

Changing the branch from Main to 4.X should give you the latest version for godot 4.X

[XLIVE99]

@Ryuggo Thanks for reporting the release version was wrong. I have updated the releases for Godot 4 version

Does it work for 4.2.2? The bitmap boxes don't show up.

[XLIVE99]

@MTandi You have to create bitmask first. You can create it either with "AutoGrid" button which located on top menu or use the shortcut "Shift + T" while MeshInstance node is selected.

@XLIVE99 Output has this line, on attempt to create a bitmask.

  res://addons/AutoGrid/edit_button.gd:56 - Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'instance' in base 'PackedScene'.

@MTandi I fixed it, and updated the release file. I didn't get that error while testing. Thanks for reporting.
