With the release of version 3.0 of the Godot Engine<\/a>, C# was added as a supported programming language. Due to other engines like Unity, there is a large number of C# assemblies which can help in developing a game. However, there isn’t an easy way to add assemblies in the editor. Therefore, this tutorial was created to help with that problem.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we’ll use the Godot Engine, version 3.0, along with the assembly for Rant<\/a>. Note that while a C# assembly can be added to the editor, the assembly cannot be exported<\/em> to a self-contained executable just yet.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: as of version 3.0.5 of the Godot Engine, exporting C# projects with assemblies<\/a> have become possible.<\/p>\n

1. Create project as normal. Where necessary, add a C# script. At first, the engine will generate the necessary C# files (i.e. the “*.csproj” and “*.sln” files).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Add in the C# code. After this, close the editor for the moment.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Ensure that the correct assembly is in the Godot project working directory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Go into a desirable IDE and open up the “*.csproj” file which was created when the C# script was added. Monodevelop will be used in this tutorial. At this point, ensure that the Godot editor isn’t running. Otherwise, key files may be overwritten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. In Monodevelop, right-click on the References<\/code> node in the tree view for the project and click on Edit References...<\/code> Be sure to first expand the project so as to reveal References<\/code>. Then click on the .NET assembly<\/code> tab and click “Browse…”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Select the desired assembly for the project and then click “Open”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. It should then be added as a reference for the project. Click “OK” and save the project (“Ctrl + S” or “File -> Save”). Exit out of the IDE and go back into the Godot editor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Add in a GDscript which makes use of the assembly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9. If all goes well, the engine should use the assembly in the resulting game.<\/p>\n
