ShapeRenderer

Vaelis 1.0.0 ShapeRenderer component reference: fields, script API, behavior and examples.

#What it does

Draw a procedural 2D shape without requiring a sprite asset.

#How to add and use ShapeRenderer

Editor path: Select the target entity in the Hierarchy (left side) → look at the Inspector (right side) → click Add Component at the bottom of the Inspector → search for ShapeRenderer → click the component row. The Add Component picker is a centered modal with a search box; it only lists components not already attached.

For components with a dedicated editor tool, the tool is opened or activated from the location described below. Do not assume that adding the component alone activates its editor; some systems require a separate window, panel, or viewport tool.

#Component setup & editor tools

• Inspector → ShapeRenderer: choose the shape type and edit its dimensions. For triangle/freeform shapes, the corresponding viewport gizmo is used when available.

#What you should see after adding it

The component appears as its own section in the Inspector. Its serialized settings are listed in the Component data table below. If a field is conditional, it appears only when the relevant mode/type is selected. If a field is a runtime state field (for example grounded or resolved velocity), treat it as read-only diagnostic state unless the API reference explicitly documents it as writable.

#How to read the settings

For every setting below, the documentation distinguishes type, default, meaning, and tuning direction where behavior is known. When a value represents a direction, use the engine's coordinate convention documented in Coordinate system; do not substitute Unity/Godot conventions.
