Nodes

Every node type, by category. A scene is a tree of nodes; add one with Add Node (Ctrl+A) in the editor or Scene.create_node(type) from Lua.

Every node also has the common properties.

Core & 2D

Node
Empty Node Node	Basic 2D transform node with position, rotation, scale, and hierarchy grouping.
Camera 2D CameraNode	2D Camera viewport controller supporting target tracking, zoom levels, rotation, and screen offsets.
Timer TimerNode	Periodic and one-shot countdown timer node for delayed actions and recurring intervals.
Lua Script Node ScriptNode	Dedicated Lua scripted node that automatically executes lifecycle callbacks (ready, update, render).
Advanced Camera AdvancedCameraNode	A virtual camera (Phantom Camera style): follow modes (glued, damped with look-ahead, group with auto-zoom, path, dead zone), limits incl. the LDtk level the target is in, trauma shake. The highest priority one is shown; switching blends.

Graphics & Rendering

Node
Texture Sprite TextureNode	2D textured sprite quad with texture mapping, tinting, origin offsets, and flipping.
LDtk Tilemap Level LdtkLevelNode	Full LDtk level renderer for grid-based tile layers, auto-layering, and entity placement.
Tile Map TileMapNode	Grid of tiles from a tileset image, painted in the viewport; optional colliders.
Light LightNode	2D point or spot light with colour, energy, radius and falloff; casts shadows from physics shapes. Set the scene’s Ambient to darken unlit areas.
Text TextNode	Text in the world: any project font (or SDF for crisp scaling), wrapping, alignment, rich text ([color=..] [size=..] [wave] [shake]), localization keys and a typewriter reveal.
Nine Slice Sprite NineSliceNode	A texture stretched to any size while its borders keep their size (panels, buttons, frames).
Parallax Background ParallaxNode	A background that moves with the camera at a factor (0 = fixed, 1 = world), repeating and optionally drifting.
Line LineNode	A polyline through local points: width, colour, closed, rounded joints (lasers, ropes, outlines).
Post Effect PostEffectNode	Applies its Material shader to the whole screen: built-in vignette, CRT, pixelate, chromatic aberration, or your own. Several chain in order.

Animation & Effects

Node
Frame Animator FrameAnimationNode	Sprite sheet frame-by-frame animator with configurable frame durations, loops, and ping-pong modes.
Animation Player AnimationPlayerNode	Keyframe animation sequencer supporting property tracks, transitions, and timeline scrubbing.
Aseprite Sprite AsepriteNode	An Aseprite file (.aseprite / .ase) played as Aseprite does: tags, directions, repeats, frame durations; layers on / off, slices and user data for scripts. Saving in Aseprite updates it live.
State Machine StateMachineNode	States, transitions and conditions on parameters; each state can play an animation on an AnimationPlayer. Scripts get on_enter_ / on_exit_.
Particle Emitter ParticleEmitterNode	2D particle burst and fountain generator with customizable speed, spread, lifetime, and colors.
Skeleton SkeletonNode	Skeletal (cutout) animation from Spine or DragonBones exports: bones, meshes, skins, IK, events; crossfades; scripts can turn bones.
Bone Attachment BoneAttachmentNode	Under a Skeleton: follows one of its bones - put a weapon, a light or particles under it.
Path PathNode	A curve through points with Bézier handles, edited in the viewport: routes, rails, moving platforms’ tracks, camera paths. Add a Path Follow under it.
Path Follow PathFollowNode	Travels along its parent Path: speed, loop / ping-pong / stop, faces the way it goes. Put a sprite, a platform or an enemy under it.
Trail TrailNode	A fading, tapering ribbon behind a moving node (place it as a child): lifetime, width, colours.

Audio & Sound

Node
Sound Effect SoundNode	Audio emitter for one-shot and recurring sound effects (.wav, .ogg) with volume and pitch control.
Music Streamer MusicNode	Background streaming music player with seamless looping, crossfading, and volume attenuation.

Physics & Collision

Node
Static Platform StaticBodyNode	Static immovable collision body that dynamic bodies collide with; perfect for ground, walls, and terrain.
Dynamic Physics Box DynamicBodyNode	Box2D dynamic rigid body affected by gravity, physical impulses, forces, friction, and bounce.
Character Mover CharacterMoverNode	Kinematic character controller with smooth velocity integration, slope climbing, and ground snapping.
Trigger Area AreaNode	Physics detection volume that triggers onEnter and onExit overlap events without rigid collisions.
Raycast Sensor RaycastNode	Directional line-of-sight raycaster detecting intersection points, surface normals, and hit fractions.
Visibility Notifier VisibilityNotifierNode	Knows when the camera sees a rectangle: screen_entered / screen_exited, and can pause, disable or remove its parent off screen (enemies wake up, bullets despawn).
Navigation Region NavigationRegionNode	An area agents find paths in: baked into a grid from static bodies, solid tile maps and LDtk Solid cells. Bake in the Inspector; scripts can block cells (doors).
Navigation Agent NavigationAgentNode	Put it under a character: give it a target and it walks there along a path, around walls and other agents (moves a CharacterMover, a DynamicBody or any node).
Joint JointNode	Connects two bodies: hinge (revolute), distance, slider (prismatic), weld, wheel or motor; motors, springs and limits. Pick Body A (default: parent) and Body B.

UI & Interface

Node
Dialogue Box DialogueNode	A dialogue box: lines with a speaker type out and advance with the confirm action. Scripts: box:dialogue_show({…}); events line_shown / finished.
UI Container UIContainerNode	Flexbox-style responsive layout container with horizontal/vertical flow, padding, and alignment.
UI Label UILabelNode	Clean text renderer with font sizing, color styling, and multi-line wrapping.
UI Button UIButtonNode	Interactive clickable button with hovered, normal, and pressed visual feedback and event callbacks.
UI Slider UISliderNode	Draggable continuous value slider for settings, volume, and numeric input.
UI Checkbox UICheckboxNode	Toggle checkbox widget for boolean options and feature flags.
UI Progress Bar UIProgressBarNode	Horizontal progress percentage visualizer for health bars, loading indicators, and gauges.
UI Text Input UITextInputNode	Single-line text field with placeholder; raises submitted and value_changed.
UI Dropdown UIDropdownNode	Drop-down selector over a list of options.
UI Radio Group UIRadioGroupNode	Mutually exclusive options.
UI Toggle Switch UIToggleSwitchNode	On/off switch.
UI Knob UIKnobNode	Rotary value control.
UI Notched Slider UINotchedSliderNode	Slider that snaps to detents.
UI Volume Fader UIVolumeFaderNode	Audio fader in decibels.
UI Volume Meter UIVolumeMeterNode	Stereo level meter.
UI Separator UISeparatorNode	Horizontal divider with an optional label.
UI XY Plot UIXYPlotNode	Line plot of streaming values.
UI List View UIListViewNode	Scrollable selectable list; raises selected.
UI Tree View UITreeViewNode	Hierarchical expandable tree.
UI Bullet List UIUnorderedListNode	HTML-style unordered list.
UI Numbered List UIOrderedListNode	HTML-style ordered list.
UI Table UITableNode	Sortable data table; raises row_selected and sorted.
UI Icon UIIconNode	Vector icon.
UI Toolbar UIToolbarNode	Row of icon buttons; raises item_clicked.
UI Tab Container UITabContainerNode	Tabbed pages container.
