Migration notes: godot-genre-shooter

Incremental upgrade for topics this skill covers. Apply one hop, stabilize/test, then next. Never skip hops.

If the project is < 4.0, follow godot-version-migration era bridges (legacy → 3→4) until 4.0, then these hops. Official 3→4: Upgrading from Godot 3 to Godot 4.

4.0 → 4.1

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.1

• Area2D.priority type is int (was float).
• PhysicsDirectSpaceState2D.collide_shape returns Array[Vector2] (was Array[PackedVector2Array]).
• Viewports with Physics Picking enabled auto-mark InputEvents handled — adjust if you relied on unhandled propagation.

4.1 → 4.2

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.2

No skill-relevant breaking changes for this hop.

4.2 → 4.3

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.3

• If the genre uses TileMap, migrate to TileMapLayer nodes before relying on layer APIs.
• If the genre ships multiplayer, upgrade all peers to 4.3 together (SceneMultiplayer protocol).

4.3 → 4.4

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.4

• Android sensors disabled by default — enable under Project Settings → Input Devices → Sensors.

4.4 → 4.5

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.5

No skill-relevant breaking changes for this hop.

4.5 → 4.6

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.6

• Retune Environment glow/fog if the genre leans on bloom-heavy looks.

4.6 → 4.7

Official: Upgrading to Godot 4.7

• Confirm project stretch mode and AudioStreamPlayer area_mask after opening in 4.7.
• PhysicsServer2D.body_set_shape_as_one_way_collision adds optional direction (relative to shape).
• CollisionShape2D one-way collision direction is relative to the shape, not only global up.
• Mouse/keyboard device IDs are InputEvent.DEVICE_ID_MOUSE / DEVICE_ID_KEYBOARD (not 0) — joypads may use 0.
