This adds a function to the Mode7Sprite2D which will "map" the position of the untransformed sprite to the transformed sprite in most situations (One known caveat is documented on the function - outside the entire sprite's UV space).

Basically, I think this is a needed feature to practically support a um, workflow like this :)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Mode7Sprite2D API for converting points from original sprite artwork to transformed screen positions.
    • Point transformation supports Mode 7 perspective effects and tiled sprites.
    • Follow targets continue updating when temporarily outside the scene tree.
    • Added persistence for saved materials.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added configuration warnings for invalid region-follow targets.
  • Documentation

    • Documented point transformation, including tiled-sprite UV edge cases.

Walkthrough

Mode7Sprite2D now provides a CPU-side mode7_transform_point method. Shared helpers centralize scanline calculations, aspect rotation, and full-texture rectangle handling. The method is exposed through ClassDB and documented, including tiled-sprite edge cases.

Changes

Mode7 point transformation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared scanline and rectangle helpers
scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.h, scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.cpp, scene/2d/sprite_2d.h
Scanline calculations are centralized. Aspect-correct rotation and full-texture rectangle helpers are added. Sprite2D::_get_rects is available to derived classes.
Point transformation API
scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.h, scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.cpp, doc/classes/Mode7Sprite2D.xml
mode7_transform_point resolves global and scanline transformations with bisection and tiled wrap candidates, then exposes and documents the method. Configuration-warning and saved-material declarations are also added.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2c9e4

Point transformation can return incorrect positions for sprites using horizontal or vertical frames, so the frame-space mismatch should be fixed before merge.

@Arctis-Fireblight This is obviously a feature, and I plan to put it through its paces. By all rights of procedure I assume it should go to the next release, but user feedback on it would be good too, so just a little torn. Just getting your eyes on this just in case you have any input on the milestone. If nothing further on it, I'll throw it on 26.4 after the hare likely rips me apart xD.

582-584: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Evaluate the center wrap candidate before the grid.

Mode7Sprite2D::mode7_transform_point() reaches (kx, ky) == (0, 0) on the 13th iteration. If that candidate is a valid root inside [0, 1]², its squared distance is zero, so the current selection rule must choose it. Select it first and bypass the remaining candidates. This can skip 24 solver calls; a valid-root solver makes 42 _mode7_compute_scanline_data() calls, so one invocation can otherwise make up to 1,050 helper calls. The early exit preserves tie behavior because no other integer offset has distance zero.

@GeneralProtectionFault probably best to target 26.4 with this.
As much as I would like to have gotten it in to 26.3, not sure if there is enough time left between now and the RC phase.

Derive region_px from the rendered frame source rectangle

Sprite2D::_get_rects() divides the region or texture by hframes and vframes. The canvas renderer passes that resulting frame rectangle as REGION_RECT. This code uses the whole region or texture instead. For framed sprites, region_rect_norm, region_aspect, and the conversion at line 688 use different coordinates from the shader, so the returned point can be incorrect. Reuse the _get_rects() source rectangle when computing region_px.
