Editor Integration

Ascendere extends the Godot editor with tools for scene scaffolding, live communication, and custom commands.

Scene Builder

A DSL for defining scenes declaratively instead of through the editor UI.

Scene.Build("Player")
    .Add<CharacterBody2D>()
    .Add<CollisionShape2D>()
    .Add<Sprite2D>()
    .Save("res://scenes/Player.tscn");

Editor Runtime Bridge

Live bidirectional communication between the editor and a running game instance. Useful for debugging, tweaking values, and triggering events without restarting.

// In editor tool
EditorBridge.Send("set_speed", 300f);

// In game
EditorBridge.OnReceive("set_speed", (float v) => speed = v);

Command Palette

Register custom commands that appear in the Godot command palette. Commands are discovered automatically via the [EditorCommand] attribute.

[EditorCommand("Spawn Test Enemy")]
public static void SpawnTestEnemy()
{
    // runs in editor context
}
