Set_loop()

UpAllNight

Good morning.. Quick question .. it seems AudioStream.set_loop(true) set_loop() has been depreciated ?? is there an equivalent in 3.4 ?

One more thing,

material.albedo_color = Color(r, g, b)

Does not take alpha ? vec4 Udefined. Need to pass an alpha value to my mesh.

Everything on the web with Godot seems to be 2D ..

What version were you previously using? I don't see set_loop() in the older documentation.

albedo_color is a Color, and all Colors can have an alpha channel defined using the constructor Color(r, g, b, a). Some properties will not make use of this alpha channel though – in this case, you won't see the alpha channel slider in the ColorPicker when clicking on a property in the inspector..

So other than using a skin shader or setting up an animation tween, theres no other way to fade in and out a 3d actor mesh, like for instance when a enemy dies I'd like to slowly fade his body away before removing it from the map.

For such things s Sprite3D, for common particle effects etc... I tried:

modulate.opacity

But was not able to alter the sprites transparency.

Sprite3D's opacity property was removed because it was made redundant by the new GeometryInstance3D transparency property (which works the other way around): https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/55446

Thanks to this new transparency property, you don't need to modify materials anymore to create fading animations.

Am I reading that right ? Sprite3d Opacity has already been removed, replaced by geometryinstance3d but geometryinstance3d is due out in 4.0 ????

Sprite3D's opacity property is present in Godot 3.x, but it won't be present in Godot 4.0 anymore. GeometryInstance3D transparency is a new feature in Godot 4.0.
