This weird type of humor is something the fediverse still has to learn

This is just a guess but it could be that (re)setting the texture of an control node May also reset it's size since I think it tries to stick as close as possible on the original texture resolution.

Is the size a different when you set it to a different texture? Maybe the same image but with lower res?

From what I read technically "Android" is used as the most popular smartphone OS in China. But that's only because android is the foundation of costume Chinese OS that comes without any google services (nice) but is also highly restricted against side loading. Of course like always ways should exist to workaround those restrictions.

But to be honest getting information about all the restrictions people in china need to suffer from getting harder l with every day since they get encapsulated more and more.

I don't know if this was just a joke or you really mean it that way.

I would partially agree that there are a lot of similarities between Mao and Trump, but current situation in USA is nowhere near current situation in china.

I'm quite sure they will only allow this in EU (and maybe USA). If they do allow this in China, Regime will most probably ban every alternative app Store... if this is not already banned.

Thought and prayers to the people of china. I feel like they lost everything in 1989. Still hope they find the strength to get rid of this depressing system.

Because usability. If you have the files down down1 down2 downxyz and download and the user only knows that it was "something with down" it's best to show the user everything matching "down*" and let the user decide what's the correct one.

Also I'm not sure but wouldn't your expression show everything if only one character would be entered?

And again I don't see this solving anything if the entered string actually contains other characters then what's in the file (D != d)

Yes one could argue that some form of advanced algorithm or even AI could be used to identify such use case like download and Download but this is programming Humor, not linguisic Humor.

down matches down* because * also includes empty string. Also download matches down*

D matches D* but d is not matching D* because D is a different character than d.

I mean the workaround would be to have something like a Array defined as an export variable and "drag and drop" the nodes you want to connect in the inspector?

But I think you already had something like this in place?

Ok I guess we are talking about the same idea here. Having one node that handles "connection" and a different note handling the course of the street.

I would only argue that a connection with only on road connected should be able to exist in order to create a dead end. But don't know if this would make sense for your specific gameplay.

I'm sorry I can't help you any further here, but maybe someone else will have an idea.

Sorry, down is a substring of download I don't get your point either?

I really love the creative title :)

Ok so if I understood correctly you want to have one Node(of type Path3D or Curve3D) that will be used to generate a street from a given staring point to a given end point. And a second type of Node that should be handling intersections of a road?

My initial idea would be to have a area3D note for the intersection node and a area3D node as the start/endpoint of the path.

Then using the area_entered signal in the intersection area to detect if a path start/end was connected...

I have no experience of how well all of this will work in an tool script but this would be my starting point.

PS: after thinking twice about it. Why would you want to have a distinct intersection node? I think simply having a start and a endpoint of a street that can be connected to a different start/end point of a different street (or even the same to make a circle) should be enough.
