Hello Dave, you do great tutorials with some of this stuff going super in depth! Ive been following along but ive hit a bit of a road block. I can't seem to find the addons that hold the EXP Command Server or the EXP Registry on Godot. I been lookin around for a while with no luck.
The Command Server and Registry Addons are a part of my RPG Game Project, which is available through the DaveTheDev Community Patreon: www.patreon.com/davethedev But, it isn't super difficult to make your own solution based on the information in the video.
Huh, I tackled this issue yesterday as it happens but I did it very differently. I just made a gdscript called Global (unattached to a node) and in project settings I auto loaded it. Then I just added a var foo and I picked it up with Global.foo. Should I do registries instead do you think?
@@ronaldpikksaar2202 I didn't mean the name, I'm just saying I made a class instance variable on a global class and get/set that from my various scenes, not using registers like the channel owner here.
I would say if it's working for you, then it's not wrong. One thing to consider might be that, if you store your actual values on the global script and any object can change them, then your program might accidentally change one. It's not so much a big deal if you're project is small and easy to manage, but it would become an issue if you wanted to scale, and especially if you start using timing dependent functions like "yield". The EXP Registry, like your solution, is a global script, but it doesn't store the actual variable values, it stores references to variables. The object that owns the variable is the only object authorized to change it.
Thanks for the feedback. I can see where you're coming from. This video is the start of a series of videos about the process of building an RPG in Godot. You're certainly right in that this isn't tutorial in which I'll hold someones hand from beginning to end, but each video covers a topic that needs to be addressed if someone is seriously undertaking an RPG in Godot. They might not be flashy, or page turners, but the topics are genuinely important and you'll run into them if you're trying to create an RPG. For example, in this video, I address the topic of object interdependence, and why to avoid it, I present my solution for avoiding it, and demonstrate my solution working in my RPG Project. I try my best not to confuse people regarding my intentions. If you have some advice about how I can improve, I'd love to hear it. Warm regards, Dave the Dev
@@DavetheDev i stopped reading at it isn't a tutorial where your "holding someone's hand" a rather rude but definition of what a tutorial is. It was an ad with a fast forward of you doing what others came her to learn.
It is how the dialog boxes know where to place themselves on the screen. If the target is the player avatar, it tries to dynamically place itself near the avatar. If the target is the White Egg, it tries to dynamically place itself near the White Egg.
Yeah, for sure. I understand that feeling. But at the same time, I've come to a point where if I want to spend more time doing what enjoy, I need to be able to support myself while doing it, even just a little. But I'll always have time for your crazy questions my friend. ^_^
@@DavetheDev haha, thanks dude, you are awesome. Maybe I will become a patreon member, I mean at least for a month:) You have built a great community dude 👏👏👏
Nice coincidence. I recently also started developing a 3D RPG in Godot.
Never clicked that fast on a video:)

It doesn't really matter how you call it as long as it has the same function. (I have heard it being called "globals", "singleton" or similar before)

@@davidmurphy563 Oh, ok, sorry for misunderstanding then.
@@ronaldpikksaar2202 No probs at all. :)

Where is the tutorial. I saw the patrion ad to pay for the tutorial but no tutorial at all.

@@newsofthenerd Thanks for the reply! I'm sorry you didn't get what you came for.
cool!
Hi. I need to know why Godot has a really bad performance issue with shaders on android devices (of course 3D too). it lags like hell. J7 Pro tested.
Are you using GLES3? Might wanna fall back to GLES2 first and see how that works out.
What do that "target" tag represents?
It is how the dialog boxes know where to place themselves on the screen. If the target is the player avatar, it tries to dynamically place itself near the avatar. If the target is the White Egg, it tries to dynamically place itself near the White Egg.
@@DavetheDev hmm interesting. I wrote a comment in the Variable Injection video's comment section, just tell me if that makes a bit of sense:)
noice.
Pretty sad that we can't have access to the discord if we don't become a patreon:(. Great tutorial anyway, keep the great work.
Pretty standard though!
