Thanks for the appreciation. I'm glad you liked it! As resources, I mostly learned curves, in a game development context, like tutorials made by Freya Holmér. Especially the ones on interpolation, splines, and Bézier Curves. She explains them great! I'll link a few for you to check out: Interpolation: th-cam.com/video/-Ii3MrJFBkQ/w-d-xo.html Splines: th-cam.com/video/jvPPXbo87ds/w-d-xo.html Beziér curves: th-cam.com/video/aVwxzDHniEw/w-d-xo.html I hope this is of any value to you. Good luck!

@IcyEngine This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you man, fr this is super helpful

Sure thing! Can you paste a copy of your code so far?

Ahh I see... your code is well written, so nothing wrong with that. I'm assuming that the curve you have to set in the inspector hits 0 at some point. I didn't think of this at the time, but if your curve reaches 0 at some point, then the line where you calculate the x velocity will always be 0 (cuz you know something * something * 0 = 0)... And if the x velocity is 0, your character won't move forward, the current distance won't increase as you're not moving forward anymore and the condition of finishing the dash will always be false. So, an easy way to fix this, is to let your curve never hit 0, at 17:25 you see me configuring the curve, and notice how my curve never hits 0. Another way to fix this is by adding another condition, I'll add the changed code below: if is_dashing: var current_distance = abs(position.x - dash_start_position) if current_distance >= dash_max_distance or is_on_wall(): is_dashing = false else: velocity.x = dash_direction * dash_speed * dash_curve.sample(current_distance / dash_max_distance) if velocity.x == 0: is_dashing = false velocity.y = 0 This way, that if your curve does reach 0, it will just stop the dash. But make sure your curve doesn't start at 0, otherwise this won't work either! I hope you understand it and good luck! Lmk if you need anything else.

Thanks man, but i think my game actually crashes💀Anyways thanks for responding me dude appreciate it

I won’t, just having trouble finding some time to hit record again…

I did! Well… sort of… I made an video on how to add sprite animation and how to add lines of code to make it work. Second video of my channel. In the comment section of that video is also a pastebin link that contains the animations you saw at the end of this video.

@IcyEngine thanks!

I’m not the artist of this specific sprite sheet. Making art is not exactly my field of expertise 😅 If you check out the link in the description you can find out where I downloaded it from, which happens to be one that is consistent with its dimensions (width/height).

The fully animated character paste-bin link in the description also includes a jump animation. Here’s the same link: pastebin.com/KQUfT5Ss

I wouldn't say it's not compatible... you'd have to get creative. In programming there are thousands of ways to do a single thing, same goes for implementing an input buffer for jumping here. What input buffering essentially is, is queueing up an input and executing a command (jumping) when a state is reached (touching ground). Keeping in mind that I want the code tutorial to be simple and understandable, I would add a variable that is of type boolean that would be set to true if we press the jump button but we're in the air. Once we touch the ground AND that boolean is true, I would execute another jump and set that boolean to false again. It would look something like this: ## 1 line added under the variable declarations. var jump_buffer = false ## Replace the original jump code with jump buffer handling and then jump handling: # Handle jump buffer. if is_on_floor() and jump_buffer: jump_buffer = false velocity.y = jump_force # Handle jump. if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"): if (is_on_floor() or is_on_wall()): velocity.y = jump_force else: jump_buffer = true BUT... there's a tiny catch with this one. Games often have a set of frames where the buffer stays active so that you won't be punished by unintentional input buffering. What I mean is, that in the code above, pressing the jump button two times in quick succession, would cause the player to jump again upon landing on the ground. But this is my quick and dirty solution to your problem. Good luck!

Working on a UI tutorial as we speak! But I’m still a student, so it’s a bit hectic

Haha happens, good thing you fixed it🔥

Hey! Glad you like the tutorial! I might have a solution for your problem. The code you displayed here is fine, but I suspect you did something wrong with creating the variable dash_curve. Did you, by any chance, declare the variable like this: @export var dash_curve = Curve Because it should be: @export var dash_curve: Curve Hope that solves your problem :)

@@IcyEngine That was it, I see my mistake, I didnt know thats how you declared type of variables. My muscle memory typed it as var dash_curve = Curve. Thank you again for reaching out so quickly. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great vacation. Looking forward to learning from your videos more soon.

@@IcyEngine I made the same mistake, thanks for the help!

Haha thanks a lot! State machines are great, so I'll consider it.

Glad it helped! University just started so I won't be having a lot of spare time... doesn't mean I won't try of course. Anyway, to help you out a bit I wrote a tiny script using the Godot template script for CharacterBody2D, that handles jumping in mid-air. It's pretty straight forward, and I put some comments in the script using the "#" that tells what each section in the code does. It's basically a multi-jump by adding less then 10 lines. You can adjust the amount of air-jumps you want to perform by changing the "air_jump_amount" in the inspector. Hope it helps, here is the link: pastebin.com/Zq5Grw9C

Thanks a lot, and nice suggestion! I’ll think it about it.

Could you elaborate on the mechanic for a bit? Do you mean like increasing speed for a bit upon performing the jump like what happens in Minecraft when running and jumping?

@@IcyEngine currently you can sprint if you are pressing the key and are on the floor. I want the increased speed to carry on jumps. I can just get rid of the and is_on_floor() but then you can start sprinting mid air.

@@Tieslo a alright, like that. So what I get from this is that you added the is_on_floor() check yourself. This means that you won’t be able to turn around mid-air, but rather keep the momentum while being slowed down by the deceleration. What you could do is change the else to an “elif” (short for else-if) and also add a is_on_floor() check, or completely encapsulate the walk/run part in a floor check condition. I’m still not entirely sure if this is what you want since you won’t be able to control your character mid air anymore, that’s why in the code in the video, there is no floor check in the walk/run section. However, if you still want to be able to turn around mid air, but not being able to sprint mid-air, still remove the floor check you have, and above, next to the ‘Input.is_action_pressed(“run”)’, add “and is_on_floor()” so you will only be able to start running while being on the floor, but only change directions at normal speed in mid-air.

@@IcyEngine I just want to say thank you for taking the time to answer these noob questions. Even though you probably don't see it, you're helping more than just the person asking the question so thank you thank you thank you for doing so.

Thanks! That means a lot to me. Nothing wrong with noob questions right? Everyone has to begin somewhere. Just glad I could help🫶

Ah yes, so you should look up how to make animations for now since I’m not planning on making a tutorial for those right away (I just left for vacation since I’m still a student). In my video I only have a idl, walk and a jump animation right? What you want is the following: 1. Replace the Sprite2D with a AnimatedSprite2D. Then create animation for it with animation names. 2. Create a variable to couple that AnimatedSprite2D to the PlayerController script (@onready var animated_sprite = $AnimatedSprite2D) 3. Then using that variable you want to start playing it on the right places using animated_sprite.play(“animation_name_here”). 4. In the script, I swapped the jump and walk/run section, otherwise it started playing waling animations in the air. 5. Then the walking code should look something like this: if direction: velocity.x = move_toward(… acceleration …) animated_sprite.flip_h = direction == -1 if is_on_floor() animated_sprite.play(“walk”) else: velocity.x = move_toward(… deceleration …) if is_on_floor() animated_sprite.play(“idle”) 6. Then the jump part is really easy, just add an animated_sprite.play(“jump”) right under the line where you set the velocity.y to jump. Make sure the jumping animation is not looping in the spriteframes. The Godot Docs on 2D animation is pretty easy to follow: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/2d/2d_sprite_animation.html

@@IcyEngine np I know how to do the animation and did it just was a bit confused with it on this code.

No that’s fair, the code is to give an idea into how to build mechanics, if I were to implement animations I would work with state machines, but they can get much more complicated then this.

@@IcyEngine everyones telling me

pls do it
