Scripts

Click on '[Expand]' to view the code for a script.

video-to-texture.gd

This script renders a video to a new material on the object this script is attached to.

Godot only supports the Theora and WebM video codecs (unless you are a really advanced user), but you can use something like FFmpeg to convert whatever video you have.

Source: Video skydome for VR - video to image texture? Project video on sphere mesh?

extends MeshInstance

var stream = preload("video.ogv")

func _ready():
  var player = VideoPlayer.new()
  player.set_stream(stream)
  add_child(player)
  var texture = player.get_video_texture()
  material.albedo_texture = texture
  material.set_flag(material.FLAG_UNSHADED, true)
  set_material_override(material)
  player.play()
  • Replace "video.ogv" with the path to your file. For me it is "res://videos/test5.ogv". You can also use relative paths.
  • MeshInstance can be replaced with whatever object you have this attached to. MeshInstance is the default for new mesh nodes.

And here's a version with looping video :) (and tabs ;))

extends MeshInstance

var stream = preload("video.ogv")
var player = VideoPlayer.new()

func _ready():
	player.set_stream(stream)
	add_child(player)
	var texture = player.get_video_texture()
	var material = SpatialMaterial.new()
	material.albedo_texture = texture
	material.set_flag(material.FLAG_UNSHADED, true)
	set_material_override(material)

func _physics_process(_delta):
	if not player.is_playing():
		player.play()
  • Note that the variable declaration var player = VideoPlayer.new() moves outside the _ready function so that it can be used elsewhere.
  • Using _delta instead of delta is a trick to stop it reporting an error for not being referenced inside that function.

Reading and Writing Files

For example reading config files, and saving and loading games.

Scripting
