godot-4-mobile-plugin

# Godot Mobile Plugin A plugin used to display a help bar and tooltip on mobile devices. The help bar is displayed when the user is about to write text in the application.

Notes

When you activate HelpBar or Tooltip on a node, the signal connection is valid only for that node and not for nodes duplicated from it. If you duplicate several nodes at once with HelpBar or Tooltip enabled, you need to click on each duplicated node for the connections to work as expected.

Installation

Download the plugin from the Godot Asset Library or download it from Github and copy the "addons/mobile" folder into your Godot project directory. Activate the plugin inside Project > Project settings > Plugins.

How to use

• Help bar: Select a LineEdit or SpinBox node and enable HelpBarin the inspector. Then, edit settings as you want.

• Tooltip: Select any Control node in the scene dock and look at the Tooltip property in the inspector. Then above Tooltip Text check Display on Mobile.

Help bar

Display a help bar on android devices with a LineEdit node and optionally a tip to guide the user.

Compatibles nodes are LineEdit nodes and SpinBox nodes

Tooltip

Display a tooltip on mobile devices. Optionally, some settings can be edited in order to improve tooltip display.

If you intend to use a node inheriting from BaseButton in order to display a tooltip, make sure that the node has its action_mode property set to BaseButton.ACTION_MODE_BUTTON_RELEASE.

Additional notes

You can use predifined animations when help bar or tooltip appears or disappears. You can also use custom animations. Custom animations are user-coded animations and must be written according the Custom Animations Guideline. You can use .gd or .txt files to write your code.
