# blenvy
|
|
|
|
this crate adds the ability to define Blueprints/Prefabs for [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/) inside gltf files and spawn them in Bevy.
|
|
|
|
* Allows you to create lightweight levels, where all assets are different gltf files and loaded after the main level is loaded
|
|
* Allows you to spawn different entities from gtlf files at runtime in a clean manner, including simplified animation support !
|
|
|
|
A blueprint is a set of **overrideable** components + a hierarchy: ie
|
|
|
|
* just a Gltf file with Gltf_extras specifying components
|
|
* a component called BlueprintInfo
|
|
|
|
Particularly useful when using [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) as an editor for the [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/) game engine, combined with the Blender add-on that do a lot of the work for you
|
|
- [blenvy](https://github.com/kaosat-dev/Blender_bevy_components_workflow/tree/main/tools/blenvy)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Here's a minimal usage example:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# Cargo.toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
bevy="0.14"
|
|
blenvy = { version = "0.1.0"}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
use bevy::prelude::*;
|
|
use blenvy::*;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
App::new()
|
|
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
|
|
.add_plugins(BlenvyPlugin)
|
|
|
|
.run();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// not shown here: any other setup that is not specific to blueprints
|
|
|
|
fn spawn_blueprint(
|
|
mut commands: Commands,
|
|
keycode: Res<Input<KeyCode>>,
|
|
){
|
|
if keycode.just_pressed(KeyCode::S) {
|
|
let new_entity = commands.spawn((
|
|
BlueprintInfo(name: "Health_Pickup".to_string(), path:""), // mandatory !!
|
|
SpawnBlueprint, // mandatory !!
|
|
TransformBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_xyz(x, 2.0, y)), // VERY important !!
|
|
// any other component you want to insert
|
|
));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `[dependencies]` section in `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
blenvy = "0.1.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use `cargo add`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
cargo add blenvy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
use bevy::prelude::*;
|
|
use blenvy::*;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
App::new()
|
|
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
|
|
.add_plugin(BlenvyPlugin)
|
|
|
|
.run();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
you may want to configure your "library"/"blueprints" settings:
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
use bevy::prelude::*;
|
|
use blenvy::*;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
App::new()
|
|
.add_plugins((
|
|
BlenvyPlugin{
|
|
aabbs: true, // defaults to false, enable this to automatically calculate aabb for the scene/blueprint
|
|
..Default::default()
|
|
}
|
|
))
|
|
.run();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Spawning entities from blueprints
|
|
|
|
You can spawn entities from blueprints like this:
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
commands.spawn((
|
|
BlueprintInfo("Health_Pickup".to_string()), // mandatory !!
|
|
SpawnBlueprint, // mandatory !!
|
|
|
|
TransformBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_xyz(x, 2.0, y)), // optional
|
|
// any other component you want to insert
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once spawning of the actual entity is done, the spawned Blueprint will be *gone/merged* with the contents of Blueprint !
|
|
|
|
> Important :
|
|
you can **add** or **override** components present inside your Blueprint when spawning the BluePrint itself: ie
|
|
|
|
### Adding components not specified inside the blueprint
|
|
|
|
you can just add any additional components you need when spawning :
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
commands.spawn((
|
|
BlueprintInfo("Health_Pickup".to_string()),
|
|
SpawnBlueprint,
|
|
TransformBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_xyz(x, 2.0, y)),
|
|
// from Rapier/bevy_xpbd: this means the entity will also have a velocity component when inserted into the world
|
|
Velocity {
|
|
linvel: Vec3::new(vel_x, vel_y, vel_z),
|
|
angvel: Vec3::new(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
|
|
},
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
### Overriding components specified inside the blueprint
|
|
|
|
any component you specify when spawning the Blueprint that is also specified **within** the Blueprint will **override** that component in the final spawned entity
|
|
|
|
for example
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
commands.spawn((
|
|
BlueprintInfo("Health_Pickup".to_string()),
|
|
SpawnBlueprint,
|
|
TransformBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_xyz(x, 2.0, y)),
|
|
HealthPowerUp(20)// if this is component is also present inside the "Health_Pickup" blueprint, that one will be replaced with this component during spawning
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### BluePrintBundle
|
|
|
|
There is also a ```BluePrintBundle``` for convenience , which just has
|
|
* a ```BlueprintInfo``` component
|
|
* a ```SpawnBlueprint``` component
|
|
|
|
## Additional information
|
|
|
|
- When a blueprint is spawned, all its children entities (and nested children etc) also have an ```InBlueprint``` component that gets insert
|
|
- this crate also provides a special optional ```GameWorldTag``` component: this is useful when you want to keep all your spawned entities inside a root entity
|
|
|
|
You can use it in your queries to add your entities as children of this "world"
|
|
This way all your levels, your dynamic entities etc, are kept seperated from UI nodes & other entities that are not relevant to the game world
|
|
|
|
> Note: you should only have a SINGLE entity tagged with that component !
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
commands.spawn((
|
|
SceneBundle {
|
|
scene: models
|
|
.get(game_assets.world.id())
|
|
.expect("main level should have been loaded")
|
|
.scenes[0]
|
|
.clone(),
|
|
..default()
|
|
},
|
|
bevy::prelude::Name::from("world"),
|
|
GameWorldTag, // here it is
|
|
));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## SystemSet
|
|
|
|
the ordering of systems is very important !
|
|
|
|
For example to replace your proxy components (stand-in components when you cannot/ do not want to use real components in the gltf file) with actual ones, which should happen **AFTER** the Blueprint based spawning,
|
|
|
|
so ```blenvy``` provides a **SystemSet** for that purpose: ```GltfBlueprintsSet```
|
|
|
|
Typically , the order of systems should be
|
|
|
|
***bevy_gltf_components (GltfComponentsSet::Injection)*** => ***blenvy (GltfBlueprintsSet::Spawn, GltfBlueprintsSet::AfterSpawn)*** => ***replace_proxies***
|
|
|
|
see https://github.com/kaosat-dev/Blender_bevy_components_workflow/tree/main/examples/blenvy/basic for how to set it up correctly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Animation
|
|
|
|
```blenvy``` provides some lightweight helpers to deal with animations stored in gltf files
|
|
|
|
* an ```Animations``` component that gets inserted into spawned (root) entities that contains a hashmap of all animations contained inside that entity/gltf file .
|
|
(this is a copy of the ```named_animations``` inside Bevy's gltf structures )
|
|
* an ```AnimationPlayerLink``` component that gets inserted into spawned (root) entities, to make it easier to trigger/ control animations than it usually is inside Bevy + Gltf files
|
|
|
|
The workflow for animations is as follows:
|
|
* create a gltf file with animations (using Blender & co) as you would normally do
|
|
* inside Bevy, use the ```blenvy``` boilerplate (see sections above), no specific setup beyond that is required
|
|
* to control the animation of an entity, you need to query for entities that have both ```AnimationPlayerLink``` and ```Animations``` components (added by ```blenvy```) AND entities with the ```AnimationPlayer``` component
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```rust no_run
|
|
// example of changing animation of entities based on proximity to the player, for "fox" entities (Tag component)
|
|
pub fn animation_change_on_proximity_foxes(
|
|
players: Query<&GlobalTransform, With<Player>>,
|
|
animated_foxes: Query<(&GlobalTransform, &AnimationPlayerLink, &Animations ), With<Fox>>,
|
|
|
|
mut animation_players: Query<&mut AnimationPlayer>,
|
|
|
|
){
|
|
for player_transforms in players.iter() {
|
|
for (fox_tranforms, link, animations) in animated_foxes.iter() {
|
|
let distance = player_transforms
|
|
.translation()
|
|
.distance(fox_tranforms.translation());
|
|
let mut anim_name = "Walk";
|
|
if distance < 8.5 {
|
|
anim_name = "Run";
|
|
}
|
|
else if distance >= 8.5 && distance < 10.0{
|
|
anim_name = "Walk";
|
|
}
|
|
else if distance >= 10.0 && distance < 15.0{
|
|
anim_name = "Survey";
|
|
}
|
|
// now play the animation based on the chosen animation name
|
|
let mut animation_player = animation_players.get_mut(link.0).unwrap();
|
|
animation_player.play_with_transition(
|
|
animations.named_animations.get(anim_name).expect("animation name should be in the list").clone(),
|
|
Duration::from_secs(3)
|
|
).repeat();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Materials
|
|
|
|
You have the option of using "material libraries" to share common textures/materials between blueprints, in order to avoid asset & memory bloat:
|
|
|
|
Ie for example without this option, 56 different blueprints using the same material with a large texture would lead to the material/texture being embeded
|
|
56 times !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can configure this with the settings:
|
|
```rust
|
|
material_library: true // defaults to false, enable this to enable automatic injection of materials from material library files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Important! you must take care of preloading your material librairy gltf files in advance, using for example ```bevy_asset_loader```since
|
|
```blenvy``` currently does NOT take care of loading those at runtime
|
|
|
|
|
|
see https://github.com/kaosat-dev/Blender_bevy_components_workflow/tree/main/examples/blenvy/materials for how to set it up correctly
|
|
|
|
Generating optimised blueprints and material libraries can be automated using the latests version of the [Blender plugin](https://github.com/kaosat-dev/Blender_bevy_components_workflow/tree/main/tools/gltf_auto_export)
