Item Drops Plugin for Godot 4

Elevate your Godot 4 game with Item Drops, a versatile toolkit designed to seamlessly integrate item spawning, gatherable nodes, pickup mechanics, and interactable objects into your 2D world. Effortlessly create loot-filled chests, harvestable crops, enemy loot drops, or randomized treasure tables—all with minimal setup. Whether you're building a platformer, RPG, or survival game, Item Drops empowers you to bring your item systems to life.

What’s Inside?

Drops

Transform your inventory items into physical objects in the game world with these powerful spawning tools:

• RandomDrops: Spawn scenes randomly from a customizable DropsTable with a single call to spawn_drops.
• InventoryDrops: Drop existing items from a character’s inventory directly into the world.
• InventoryAccessSettings: Connect to any inventory system by defining custom methods and properties for pickup and drop actions.
• DropsTable: Set drop odds for each scene to instance as 2D objects in the game world.
• DropsGenerator: Calculates which items to spawn based on your DropsTable odds.

Pickups

Turn scenes into collectible items that integrate with your inventory system:

• Pickup2D: A 2D object that can be picked up by a PickupsCollector2D, perfect for loot or resources.
• PickupsCollector2D: A trigger area that collects Pickup2D objects, adding them to your chosen inventory when overlapped.
• PickupAnimationPlayer: Simple way to trigger animation on pickup if you want to play an effect before freeing the Pickup2D

Scene Spawning

Instance dropped items into the game world with dynamic behaviors:

• LaunchForceSceneSpawner2D: Applies an impulse force to spawned RigidBody2D objects for instant movement (e.g., loot flying outward).
• ShapeEdgeSceneSpawner2D: Randomly spawns scenes along the edges of a collision shape for natural placement.
• SpawnedMoveOnSpawnComponent2D: Adds a one-time movement script to scenes spawned by a SceneSpawner, animating their entry.

Gathering

Harvest resources from the world with these intuitive components:

• GatherableComponent: Marks a node as harvestable, spawning items via a SceneSpawner until depleted.
• AutoGathererComponent: Automatically harvests a GatherableComponent after a set real-world time interval.
• AddAfterSecondsComponent: Replenishes a GatherableComponent by calling its add(int) method after a delay.

Interaction

Enable rich player-object interactions with these flexible tools:

• AnimationToggleInteractable2D: Toggles an AnimationTree property (e.g., for opening chests, doors, or switches) with smooth animations.
• Interacter2D: Allows characters to interact with nearby Interactable2D components via an action key.
• InteractionIndicator2D: Displays an icon when an Interactable2D is within range, enhancing usability.

Item Drops Signal Bus

Centralize event handling with a shared signal resource:

• Connect nodes (e.g., HUDs) to receive PickupEvent, GatherEvent, and SpawnEvent signals for real-time updates.

Why Choose Item Drops?

• Flexible Integration: With InventoryAccessSettings, adding and removing item resources from inventories is largely system agnostic. You can define the methods that need to be called to work with inventories systems.
• Ready-to-Use Demos: Includes 2D sidescrolling and top-down gathering demo projects showcasing all features.
• Lightweight & Modular: Add only the components you need, keeping your project efficient.
• Enhanced Gameplay: From loot drops to interactive objects, create engaging mechanics fast.
