Cutscene Editor Plugin

A visual graph-based editor for designing point-and-click adventure game cutscenes in Godot 4.

Overview

The Cutscene Editor Plugin provides a node-based interface for creating complex cutscene sequences without manual coding. Users can configure narrative sequences through visual connections that mirror the action-attachment functionality of the underlying cutscene system.

Features

• Visual Node-Based Interface: Drag-and-drop nodes for creating cutscenes
• Action Representation: Visual nodes for all core action types (Move, Turn, Dialogue, Animation, Wait)
• Parallel Execution: Special Parallel Group nodes for simultaneous actions
• Connection System: Visual connections for sequential and parallel execution flow
• Property Editing: Inline parameter editing within nodes
• Real-Time Preview: Immediate visualization of cutscene execution
• Undo/Redo System: Comprehensive action reversal capabilities
• Save/Load Functionality: Persistent storage of cutscene designs

Node Types

• Entry Node: Starting point for cutscenes (Light Green)
• Exit Node: Ending point for cutscenes (Red)
• MoveAction Node: Moves characters to specific positions (Blue)
• TurnAction Node: Rotates characters to face targets (Green)
• DialogueAction Node: Displays character dialogue (Yellow)
• AnimationAction Node: Plays character animations (Purple)
