or at least how to keep names like <CompressedTexture2D#-9223371998468504193> consistent so I can just use those.

I figured it out)

okso i actually got it working! I forgot to mention that instead of a test cube i was trying to add an imported glb asset to the array, and im still new to importing assets so i think something about the way i was making an inherited scene with the asset might have caused the issue? (not totally sure tbh, with the glb object i was still able to pick it up but the console would just print "no item found") after i cleared out the array & made a test cube like how you did, it worked just like in the video & printed the correct item to the console! thanks for this video series btw :)

First of all thank you for your feed back! So this is a super complex problem, everything I'm doing is a push and pull between wanting my own ideas out there, and being as open and inviting as possible (specifically for my wife xD ), I think someone else on here had a similar idea to yours, and another had an idea that would have been even more harsh than the one I currently have (immediately burn stamina on start of pull then a little bit of a pause, then slow burn, then burn some on release), and all I can really say is I have to test them, I need to revisit this but I've been very slowly pushing through some of the systems that are required for the core conceit of the game. That being said I did actually implement a similar system to what your proposing, when you draw now there's a slight pause (I think 0.2 seconds atm), before any sway takes place, this is irrespective of your stamina, and it blends into the sway after that, and I 100% agree that it's an improvement. I want the game to be as little punishing for players as possible, while still selling the world as being this alien world that is dangerous, which is.... Exhausting sometimes xD

@@Bonkahe 100%. All ideas sounds great but for sure test everything out and pick the best one. But I agree with you that it should make easy to use all mechanics for all people. So, no one feels like they cant do something. But it should always leave space for those who want to master mechanics and be better than others. Good luck with the process:)

Oh yeah they can, right now I've been mostly focused on ironing out the bugs more than making them look good, it will be pretty easy to add in interpolation, but I actually need them to be choppy right now so I can visualize their update rate easily during run time. Glad to have you watching! Hope you enjoyed the first devlog~

Kind of in a way, very different gameplay for sure, but leaning towards stylized visuals in that direction. ty for watching~

Thank you so much! still a little ways out, but at some point I gotta force myself to go ahead and get stuff out there, if I don't I'll just infinitely perfect things, and never actually get it out into the world.

Yeah me too! I think it works best for a lot of these style of games, cause while I love more hardcore survival, I'm also getting older, and my time keeps getting more limited throughout the day. More flexible systems like what you mentioned gives you all the same incentives, without hamstringing you if you don't devote hours to grinding or something, kind of what got me out of Dayz was all that. Also the stacking 3 food items is a great idea, I think I've seen that, but I've never realized it? if you know what I mean, like it's entirely subconscious, which is usually a sign of good game design, I'll have to give it a shot! Thank you for the feedback~

Was Valheim the first to handle it this way?

I want to say yes, but I am certainly not the authority on it, it's certainly the first time I've seen a similar system. Very cool game all around.

xD I once spent a month working on an interaction system similar to vr, but entirely programmatic for fps style gameplay, then I realized I didn't have a game attached to it and gave it up. Side tracks are the anchor of all indie game devs.

@@Bonkahe Maybe that's why John Carmack works 6 days a week. It's not that he's better than us mere mortals or anything (couldn't be), it's just that he works enough to offset his getting side-tracked. Anyhow, awesome work and happy holidays!

Unfortunately I need to focus on my game project for now, I will be revisiting it as I have time, and I do intend to complete it, it's just secondary to actually getting a MVP going for my project. Sorry about that, I just gotta prioritize this right now.

Lol try *Bonkahe* godot clouds, works for me. Also no worries if it doesn't I'm ok with not growing super fast, I'm still a long way out from completing what I'm working on, so it's probably prudent to go slow and steady.

Chat GPT helped me

To be completely honest no, this was some time ago and I was not used to working with Godot Arrays in C# at the time, ultimately they do just fine, I do still prefer to use C# generic lists/dictionaries/arrays etc, as they have slightly better support in C#, but it's more or less just preference at this point.

@@Bonkahe Thanks for the reply. I had a look into it and if I'm understanding correctly, GDScript doesn't have lists, and what it calls arrays function mostly like standard C# lists?

Sorry for the delay, yes they function interchangably.

Thank you so much for the kind words! No you can convert any standard material to a shader, if you right click that material you should have an option to convert to shader material, just make sure to save the shader out to disc afterwards otherwise if you delete that scene you may lose your work~

Hmm, send me a message on discord, you can find me on the Godot cafe under the name Bonkahe, I think your issue might be somewhere else in your code, I'll have to look at all of it to get an idea for the issue.

@Bonkahe 'ight I'll text you

The super simple way would be to attach an area3D to the sword, and when you spawn it you via code connect to the onbodyentered signal, there should be documentation on how to connect signals via code somewhere, google that and add GDscript (or c# if your using that) and you should be able to turn something up. Good luck!

That's a pretty diverse set of problems, I don't think I'll be able to help you much through text here, why don't you go to the Godot cafe discord and ask for someone in voice there to help you? They are usually very helpful and kind there, also very knowledgeable. If you @ me on there and I'm available I'll join into the discord chat and see if I can help you directly, this tutorial has stumped quite a few people xD

@ I finally figured it out. Thank you

​​@@gameinglizard6984I was too slow, damm. Anyways, was it the size of the buttons?

@@sosigwithnobucks4636 yeah

It's not really gone over too much in the videos I have thus far, but a lot of people have been asking for it, honestly it's not super complicated, you have to have blend shapes, and an array of names for them then generating a list of sliders using packed scenes which are returning data out to those blend shapes, the colors are similar but using instance shader variables, I will have to do a video about it at some point. Regardless go for it! I bet you can get something going pretty easy, mind you I do go over blendshapes in general in the animation tutorial series (don't remember which episode off the top of my head, but it's definently in there), so that's a starting point. Good luck!

@@Bonkahe Thank you^^ And fun seeing your progress and not just the tutorials. Good luck to you too^^

Thank you! Yeah it's been a heck of a journey and a lot of underlaying changes to make it possible, even pushed a couple changes to the engine github for some of the more recent compute shader stuff.
