Thanks! Good luck with your game :)

If you're brand new to Godot I suggest starting with the docs: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/index.html In the video I show how to calculate the steering force, you need to use this force to determine the velocity(inside the _physics_process function). Assuming a mass of 1 the force is also an acceleration so: velocity += total_steering*delta I might release the source code after I finish this series but I would still need to do some code cleanup and organization. Hopefully my answer can get you going for the time being, and if you have other questions feel free to ask :)

Good question! You could definitely do it without the min function: var predict_time = distance / velocity.length() But if the target is very far away it will result in a big prediction time, which is not ideal if the target's velocity/direction changes often. The farther into the future we try to predict, the less likely it is the target will actually be there. Which number you want to use as the threshold is up to you, I just used 1 second because it seemed to give good results. I hope this answers your question :)

yeah it can be very awkward sometimes. The snakes have a CharacterBody for the head with a simple movement script, the body which is a RigidBody and of course a joint which connects them. I'm not sure what is the specific issue you're having but maybe check if the joint is connected to the correct nodes. Another thing I would consider is to disable collisions between connected nodes if you haven't.

thank you :)

Thank you for the feedback :)

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :)

Yes! Unfortunately it took longer than I hoped. Thank you for your patience :)

Thank you for the kind comment!

That's a great question! I'm actually going to cover this topic in the next video (part 3) which should (hopefully) come out in the next few weeks!

@@asamblur thanks I've been struggling with this for almost 2 weeks and am getting to see how dumb i am

That is a very good question! It depends on the speed and type of movement you want. If you use a bigger force the movement would be more fluid and responsive; for smaller forces the movement would be less responsive to the environment(looks like sliding on ice). Personally, for a max_speed of 200 max_steer_force of 350 seems to work well (though I'm still experimenting with different values from time to time). Apologies for the late reply, hope this helps!

Thank you :)

@@asamblur no problem!
