access pixels of sprite2d

Question

From a script, I'd like to get the color values at specific positions of a sprite. Is this possible somehow? In my case, the sprite is not drawn but only contains data for an algorithm. Is there another way to just load an image an get its color values?

Answer 1

Yes, you don't have to create a sprite for this.

# This gives you an ImageTexture
var image_texture_resource = preload("my_image.png")

# This gives you an Image
var image = image_texture_resource.get_data()

# This gives you a pixel (check the doc)
image.get_pixel(x, y)
