A powerful Godot editor plugin that streamlines the creation of 3D weapons with all required resources.

Features

• User-Friendly UI: Intuitive dock panel with organized input fields
• Real-time Feedback: Live output log showing creation progress and errors
• Auto-generation: Automatically generates item keys from weapon names
• Full Validation: Input validation with helpful error messages
• Complete Integration: Creates WeaponResource, LootItem, and adds to ItemsDatabase automatically
• Customizable Stats: Fine-tune all weapon parameters through the UI

Installation

1. The plugin is already installed in addons/weapon_creator/
2. Go to Project → Project Settings → Plugins
3. Enable "Weapon Creator 3D"

Usage

1. Open the Weapon Creator panel from the bottom dock
2. Fill in the weapon details:
   • Basic Information: Name, key, description
   • Weapon Statistics: All gameplay parameters
3. Click Create Weapon button
4. Check the output log for results
5. Find your new weapon resources in:
   • Resources/Weapons/[WEAPON_KEY].tres
   • Resources/Items/[WEAPON_KEY]_Item.tres

Tips

• Item Key is auto-generated from Weapon Name (converts to UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES)
• The bullet path defaults to the simple ice bullet - change if needed
• All fields have tooltips explaining their purpose
• Use "Clear Log" to reset the output display

What Gets Created

1. WeaponResource - Contains all weapon stats and bullet data
2. LootItem - Makes the weapon pickupable in-game
3. Database Entry - Automatically added to ItemsDatabase.tres

After Creation

Remember to:

1. Add weapon sounds (shoot, reload) to the WeaponResource
2. Add an inventory sprite to the LootItem
3. Test the weapon in-game

Troubleshooting

• "Resource already exists": Choose a different weapon name/key
• "Bullet resource not found": Verify the bullet path is correct
• No output: Check the Godot console for errors
