Hi,
First at all, let me tell you how amazed and happy i am about this engine.
Second, i just get started and I can not access the node mesh instance. What i really want to get is the AABB of the mesh.
So:

  • I know that MeshInstance comes from node, but i am unable to cast it from Node → MeshInstance. If this kind of cast is posible, how we can do this?

  • Is there a Node method that retrieve me the mesh instance or AABB?

  • I do not want to extend from MeshInstance in my script. i need to be extended by Node.

Thank you very much.

here’s easiest way.

add child MeshInstance to your node. and your code will be like this.

var aabb = get_node("myMeshInstance").get_aabb()

Yes thats it! Thank you very much!
