Support parenting setups in Collada I/O #2283

Closed Ace-Dragon closed 8 years ago

Ace-Dragon commented 9 years ago

Currently

Godot will import the parent object, but discard the child object. This might be due to a lack of support of the import of object parenting setups in both the better collada exporter and Godot's importer.

Proposal

Support all forms of parent/child relationships in both the exporter and the importer (and have the generated nodes resemble that setup as seen in the 3D application)

Benefits

It will make it a lot easier to create things like unique moving platforms (made just for a certain level), make it easier to create level-specific objects and allow one to increase the amount of level building work in the 3D application

I hope adding this will be seen as useful

Thanks.

Can you give an example of when the parent child relationship isn't maintained? I just tried importing a mesh as a child of another mesh that I exported from blender with bettercollada, and it worked fine, as far as I can tell.

Works for me, too

The situation I saw was that parenting setups weren't imported properly when I added it to an existing collada file and a did a re-import with the keep materials, merge with new option.

Maybe the issue is it doesn't work with all import modes.

Nothing but Overwrite existing scene really works, but that is different issue.

Can you still reproduce this issue @Ace-Dragon?

Ace-Dragon commented 8 years ago

Hi Akien; Yes, it seems to be working now (even though I have to completely close the scene by clicking the X and re-open it to see any changes made).

Yep, I believe that would be #2307
