VectorPad

VectorPad for Godot 4

Interactive Vector2 pad for the Godot Inspector.

What it is

• Inspector control for Vector2: Replaces any Vector2 property in the Inspector with a compact, draggable pad.
• Precise numeric editing: Synced X/Y fields stay aligned with the pad at all times.
• Clear visuals: Grid, axes, circular boundary, vector line, and handle rendered via a custom shader.
• Live updates: If your script changes the vector at runtime, the pad reflects it immediately.

Quick start

1. Copy addons/vectorpad into your project.
2. In Godot: Project → Project Settings → Plugins → enable VectorPad.
3. Export a Vector2 on any script. The Inspector will show the pad automatically.

extends Node

@export var movement: Vector2 = Vector2(1, 0)

• Drag in the pad to set the vector.
• Edit the X/Y fields for exact values.

Requirements

• Godot 4+

Development
