I’m really stuck with my GDExtension project in Godot 4.3 and could use some help. I created this custom class called `Player` that extends `Control`, and my goal is to have it render a simple red rectangle in the editor, similar to how it works when I run my scene. I’ve been tinkering with it for hours, but I can’t seem to make it show up in the editor’s viewport – it only appears during runtime.

Here’s a quick overview of my code: I’ve overridden the `_draw()` method where I’m using `draw_rect()` to attempt to draw a rectangle. Everything is working perfectly when I play the scene, but as soon as I add the `Player` node to the scene in the editor, nothing happens. It’s almost like the editor ignores the `_draw()` method altogether.

I’ve also made sure to set `tool = true` in the `.gdextension` file. I thought that might solve the problem, but nope! I even placed `queue_redraw()` in both the constructor and the `_ready()` method, hoping it would trigger a redraw in the editor context, but that didn’t help either.

The rectangle is supposed to be a simple 100×100 red square, so there’s no complex logic at play. Just this basic shape that I want to be visible in the editor. Here’s the short version of my `_draw()` method:

“`cpp
void godot::Player::_draw() {
Rect2i rect{ 0, 0, 100, 100 };
Color color{ 255, 0, 0, 255 };
draw_rect(rect, color);
}
“`

It seems like I’ve covered all bases, and I’m not sure what’s missing. Is there any specific step or setting I might have overlooked that’s preventing the rectangle from rendering in the editor? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m feeling pretty frustrated and could really use some fresh eyes on this!
