Would havr been cool of you made the possibilitybfor us to melee/attack enemies.

the tilemap system is so different now. nearly everything he did was automatically processed by godot!

i love the way you teach. i also love the challenges you gave at the end. i dont know if other "beginners" are like me, but when i tried Unity a while back, i was stuck for a long time not knowing more or understanding the language. that all changed and i started progressing when i came across the projects that they would give you that come with little bugs for you to fix. (maybe a ball was rolling the wrong way or something simple and you'd have to read through the script to find out why, and to fix it) like- teach just like 2 or 3 mechanics for a game. and then for an end test you throw out 2 or 3 projects with the same mechanics but they dont work. i feel like it would be very helpful for the beginner community. they really help beginners to start actually reading the code, and understanding what each little thing does, why, and where. it helped me because after a while of understanding more and more of the code and why and how its written, i was catching myself knowing what to write and where to write it. theres a huuuge difference between following a tutorial and understanding what someone means or what they wrote(understanding a tutorial, but being stuck afterwards), and understanding the language to the point of writing it all on our own(creating something from just a thought) just figured id tell you, since your imo the best teacher for godot beginners.

Hello Heartbest, I wanted to know how I can make the random block (that is, the one with the "?" symbol) from Super Mario Bros 1

Branno's Movement Script from their Vampire Survivor Tutorial: var movement_speed = 100 func movement(): var x_mov = Input.get_action_strength("right") - Input.get_action_strength("left") var y_mov = Input.get_action_strength("down") - Input.get_action_strength("up") var mov = Vector2(x_mov,y_mov) velocity = mov.normalized()*movement_speed move_and_slide() func _physics_process(delta): movement()

Woo hoo! I loved this series. I bought both of your courses on Godot4 and Pixel Art.

where is Part1?

In Godot 4.2, to add collision to the TileMap: select TileMap > Inspector > Select TileSet > Physics Layers > Add Element

the bats are destroying the grass? how do i fix that

Thank you so much for posting this video! Just came off of my first game jam submission with Game Maker and this was the perfect intro to Godot's work flow and scripting. It looks very powerful. Excellent video, I'll tackle those challenges tomorrow!

yo this looks so cool!!

Benjamin, can you do a beginner tutorial like this Hack n Slash with jumping/platforming, but for Godot?

anyone else have movement_data coming back as <null>? edit: cant tell if im dumb or this is a change either way keeping it here for a solution should anyone else get stuck click on player and load player movement data should be fixed

I'm late obviously very late to the party, but the way I solved the problem of bats flickering at the same time goes like this: 1) I create a material for the WhiteColor shader (I also have a custom shader called SmoothPixelFilter that's supposed to be applied to all visual instances by default, but this isn't required) 2) Then instead of oscillating Active in the key-frames, I oscillate between the WhiteColor material and the normal material (for Benjamin's example this would be no material but not in a case like mine) This way you optimize on memory by only instancing each material once and you get to switch between them individual per scene instance without the performance penalties that comes with localizing the material for each instance. (that last one is assuming Godot handles assigning existing materials as moving the pointer to the existing material object... which I don't know if it does that...) There's practical limitations to this though, as you can only really change the materials per instance through code, although I'm sure this is standard anyway.

Sucks that image_angle still rotates it.

In Godot 3.3 and later versions, state is a reserved keyword, so you can't directly use it as a variable name. You can rename it to something else, like object_state, entity_state, or any other relevant name.

I just made my first playable game with your tutorial! This was super helpful and I plan on purchasing the course.

Great video

Great video!

16:00 Its like hiding the core's so they don't touch each other

If "clamped" dosen't work becouse of new version now so try to use "limit_length" it works for me in 4.2 version

I think you can make the player movement more accurate while moving on angles by applying pythagorean theorem. correct me if I’m wrong.

I've always wanted to know how these parallax layers work. Have you considered doing something like a patreon?

Your tutorials are blast.

" this should be a 5 video series" looks at 16 video playlist. I love that haha

Finished this series yesterday, thanks so much for making it! Will now take what I have learned and try to make my own little shoot em up style space ship game. I have already tweaked the code you showed for example to allow full screen movement & even added an extra margin incase I don't want the player to move all the way up the screen (only half for example). One oversight I found in your code by the way, is you accidentally set the health stats to only check if it is equal to zero. Nothing is clamping it and it doesn't check less than zero, so if something deals more damage than total enemy life, they never die.

rand_range() is now randf_range() in godot 4

It's good to note that if you're a hobbyist solo game developer with no desire to make money, you can do whatever tf you want! Just make games that sound cool to you without worry of making a successful hit or filling a space in the market.

The "changetype" is still broken sadly, but another shortcut is you can click the script button on the right side editor and select quickload, then type + choose "timed_state_component" instead of finding it manually and dragging it in.

I think I would appreciate (if doing another series like this, or even continuing this one) a video that focused on brainstorming and implementing all the various components you supplied. It's convenient that they're set up already, but it feels a little bad that I'm not "making them from scratch" if that makes sense

For some reason, I just couldn't get the function to kill the enemy to work. I tried everything... then I realized my function was called "ready()", which is not automatically called by the engine, whereas "_ready()" is. Adding the underscore fixed it. 🤦

Please tutorial gathering, (the player cuts a tree), (the tree shakes due to the cut), (put the number of times the action is performed to cut down the tree), (example: large tree 5 times, medium tree 3, small tree 2) , (when you reach the maximum number of times the tree falls in the animation), (and drop objects on the tree)

I watched your video a few months ago, and on the same project I came to have problems with my buttons, and guess what ? the color rect was tanking the mouse clicks great video as always

I am struggling to get the bat to hit the player and I tihnk it may have to do with collision layers in Godot 4 but I haven't been able to figure this out. Is anyone able to share what all their collisions an mask layers are for player and bat hurt and hit boxes? I'm stumped.

Just wanted to comment that I just finished this video, and before starting the next one I decided that it was bothering me that the background reset every time you load a new scene. Thinking it would be simple to make a new "master" scene that unloaded and loaded the other scenes as its children, I started doing that, unaware that I was opening a massive can of worms. Two days later and I got it working perfectly though.

This series is pure gold.

Make a turn based tactic game 😊

Great series! - I'm getting this odd bug where the yellow enemy just spawns at (0,0) and does not move...

Thanks bro really helped me

this guy sounds like gabe from the office

Thank you so much, this helped me a lot

just want to point out i was forwarded here through openai's chatgpt for learning godot engine. i hope you get the recognition you deserve!

My godot is not same as this tutorial 😢 kinda konfused

do you recommend this composition method over inheritence? it seems more "complicated" although i'm newer to Godot (not new to developing)

hate how i found this tutorial after it became outdated.

You cannot have a main menu with this whoever is looking at this do not do this or try to find a way around it

what is this error: The parameter "delta" is never used in the function "_physics_process()". If this is intended, prefix it with an underscore: "_delta".

I wrote the code correctly but the balloon not moving when i press the arrows bottoms!!!! any one knows what is the problem?

Thank you for the tutorial, it was my first time making a game!! I also followed some other tutorials to add background music, main menu and restart button after dying.

25:25 would using velocity1.x *= 0.5 instead for smooth movement be fine or is that bad practice
