GodotNodes+
A reusable component-based library of nodes for Godot 4, favouring composition over inheritance.
Add health, damage, shields, cooldowns, state machines, object pooling, save/load, projectiles, and more to any entity — without writing boilerplate.
Features
- Composition-first — attach only what you need. A player = Sprite2D + Health + Hurtbox2D + StateMachine.
- Cross-dimension — 2D and 3D variants for most systems.
- Synergistic — nodes are designed to work together. StatusEffect ticks on Health, TimerLabel displays Cooldown, Follow2D tracks Target2D.
- Editor dock — browse and add nodes with one click via the NodesPlus sidebar.
- Signal-driven — every component emits typed signals for decoupled game logic.
Installation
- Copy
addons/nodes_plus/into your project'saddons/directory. - Enable it in Project Settings → Plugins.
- The NodesPlus dock appears in the bottom-left editor panel.
Quick Start
Add health to a player:
- In the NodesPlus dock, click Health.
- Set
max_healthto100in the inspector. - Connect the
health_depletedsignal to handle death. - Call
apply_damage(10)from an enemy's Hitbox2D.
# Some enemy script
$Hitbox2D.damage_node.apply_damage($Player/Health)
Add a StateMachine:
- Click StateMachine and State from the dock.
- Add child State nodes (idle, run, jump).
- Override
enter(),update(),exit()in each state. - Call
$StateMachine.change_state($StateMachine/Idle).
