Criminally under-rated channel, 2 of your videos saved me a hundred hours of learning -- and this interaction system is superior to anyone else's, -- most people try to do it with ray casts -- I implemented this in my own project weeks ago, and came back just to say how helpful it was.
Ayyo. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I hate not being able to come up with these things myself but I am so glad I watched. I am sure I would have gotten here eventually but you saved me days of fixing anti-patterns and bad un-reusable code. Thank you. I love you. Keep doing this stuff you are great at it.
that was great! Will be coming back to this channel for future videos, I especially liked the little "miss Matched assets" joke, I think we have all been there at some point.
great tutorial! implemented it for picking up items. very nice! just had a little fix to make to prevent the game from crashing after picking up a single item and deleting it from the scene. besides that everything worked just fine! 🤩
Thank you for the great tutorial! Such a clean implementation. I modified it a little for my game to use RayCast3D in first person, but it works wonders. Now to add thousands of interactable buttons!
@@darmawanrendy4481 Under PlayerInteractor scene I added the Raycast, remember to change its collision mask to interactions, and then in PlayerInteractor script you can use is_colliding() and get_collider(), this is what mine looks like for example: if ($RayCast3D as RayCast3D).is_colliding(): var detected :Object = ($RayCast3D as RayCast3D).get_collider() if detected is Interactable: player_target = detected focus(player_target)
Such a good tutorial that also focuses on the reusability of the component! I tried first to have a raycast for the interactor, but figured out that it cannot detect Area3Ds.
Damn, thanks for your tutorial, do you know how to do that mechanic of holding on to the wall to spy stealf style like Outlast? I know it's a random question, but I really need this mechanic.
Another day of dreaming when they actually add stencil buffer into Godot 4 to create cute outlines instead of that ugly inverse hull method. Thanks for good tutorial.
Hello, I followed your tutorial as outlined in the video, and for each of the signals I have the engine print a message. When I lose focus, it is triggered twice, while gain focus and interact is only triggered once. Do you have any ideas on why this may be and how I can fix it?
it seems like this bit of code is causing the unfocus to be called twice is once from the _physics process and once from the _on_area_exited: I commented out the unfocus call in the _physics_process for the Player Interactor and the unfoucs was only called once. I am not sure if this is a good fix or not. if new_closest != cached_closest: if is_instance_valid(cached_closest): unfocus(cached_closest)
It's saying I can't convert cast area 3d with "closest = interactable as Interactable" line, does anyone know what this is? for reference my code is exactly same in the tutorial, the layers, the project setting layer 2, made sure it matched up with exact measurements and area3ds, names, and boxshapes, still give me that error. Using 4.2 stable
In the Interactor script, I get an error that says: Invalid cast. Cannot convert from "Area3D" to "Interactable". Does anyone know the solution to this?
If I recall you need to change your interactable script to extend from Area3D. I had the same issue and realized I didn't make that change either when I made the script, but it was done in the video
This is really awesome. I'm just wondering, could one extend this to picking an object up and having that object attach to an anchor point on the player? I've got a little raccoon and I want him to be able to carry objects in his mouth. Would you need an extra signal for when you have a held item that prevents you from interacting with anything else? In there I'm imagining you could set the interactable to whatever is currently being held, and hitting interact again would drop the item? Just trying to imagine how to structure it all, it's kind of state machine-y. But regardless, thank you for the tutorial, super helpful!
I've followed the tutorial to the letter with the slight alteration of changing out the character controller reference for a rigidbody3d as I just have a capsule player at the moment. And despite checking and recchecking my collision layers and maps, the function get_overlapping_areas() returns an empty list always. I'm not sure what to try next as I'm fairly new to godot.
Great tutorial video, in fact this is the only one I could find to help me solve my problem! The only thing is I'm getting an error in my Interactor base class's get_closest_interactable function where I try to cast interactable as an Interactable type. It says I can't convert from Area3D to Interactable, but I even tried using your script verbatim and I still got the error. Any ideas? Edited to say: I think I solved it, for some reason I created the Interactable node as a child of Node3D instead of Area3D. After I fixed it, saving and closing followed by reopening the project made the error go away.
Because it lets you be less precise with your characters orientation. A raycast shoots straight forward from the origin. If it misses you'll get no interact prompt. A hitbox means you can just run into the general vicinity of the target and be able to interact with it making gameplay feel a bit less finicky.
I saw another tutorial by another guy who did something similar, set up an area 3d attatched to the player, if an interactable is within that area, disable its material and switch to the highlight shader, else use default. Im a novice so thats the best i can explain it sorry 😅
I have watched a bunch of interactable videos and yours is the best. thank you ever so much. And thank you for the source code so I could see how you did your highlight. It worked perfect.
I'm revisiting this tutorial and was wondering what is the difference between using the Area3D and using a rayCast3d node? In my tests, I added a wall in front of the chest and the character can still open the chest.
I answered this in an earlier comment. A raycast means you have to look directly at the interactable or you won't get an interact prompt. While playing this can get frustrating especially if the interactable is a small item on the ground.
@@flynsarmy Thank you. Sorry I missed that. I was more interested in frame rate impact ray cast vs area3d. I think I like the area 3d way better for some things.
Very nice liked the way you setup the tutorial. One thing I think may break if you go back and click interact a second time you will get an error that its been queue.free(). For this simple example its not a big deal but if someone does not know this could happen will be a bug. I like the door going away from the player in my setup I had created 4 animation for each direction did you uses 1 and change the direction? Use an animation tree? Great stuff would love more advance tutorials lots of things are just simple basic setup stuff. I have found a few other good places that went into like state mach etc... I am also currently working on my first 3d game with my son trying to get him into programming since programming (not games) has been my job for 30 years.
For the door i got the position of the player relative to the door and rotated it away. It's been a while but I think my example repo linked in the description has a copy if you want to check it out.
Hi Flyn, Great video! Quick question. How would I change the orientation of the PlayerInteractor to the way the player faces when using an isometric camera on the main scenea and not one on the player?
This may be a late reply -- but Im making a similar game and the way I did it , was move my player interactor to a child of my armature node.. worked flawlessly -- on iso game may have to make that box a bit bigger since you don't have as fine tuned controls like a camera. (I lost 45 minutes realizing my nodes were working but I was missing the interactable due to size)
Hey! I saw this video and everything is working great! However I am having some issues when my player interactor detects an interactable. It says in the code that I can't call method 'duplicate' on a null value and my game crashes. Is there anything I could do about this? Thank you very much and great vids
Awesome stuff, Thanks for the tutorial. I would like to show some text to the player when focusing on an item and also a screen on which a detailed panel of the item would pop up when picked up. How could I achieve that in your opinion? Can I add an export variable to the interactable with a text I want to show to the player?
I've been having loads of trouble trying to make interactable objects, going from tutorial to tutorial; each one having a different method of doing it, and nothing ever working even when I follow it step by step from start to finish (even taking notes). With this one, a couple issues came up: 1. In the "Interactor" script, on line 28 (closest = interactable as Interactable), I keep getting an Invalid cast error which says: Cannot convert from "Area3D" to "Interactable". 2. When I resize the CollisionShape (UsingPlayerInteractor section of the video), I get Node Configuration Warning that it might not function as expected and needs to be scaled uniformly. 3. Error "is_open" is not declared in the current scope (the chest node clearly has a script, but we can't see the entire script from this video and there was no mention of it. Since the video title doesn't say "part 2" or something, that means I didn't miss a previous video or anything detailing what that node's script needs to contain for the signals to work) Final question is: Can the basics of learning the scripting format from this video also help with creating objects the player can pick up (and perhaps put in an inventory) and objects with descriptive text (ie - clicking on an object and it saying something like "This is a box")?
Are you using Godot 4? 2. Don't use the 'Scale Mode' handles (the little squares) to resize your collision shapes. Use the red circles instead. To fix this go to your collision shape - Transform and reset Scale property to 1/1/1. Then in the 3D viewport look for the red circles on your collision shape. Drag those. That'll change the BoxShape resource size rather than the CollisionShape3D node scale. 3. The video was meant to show how you connect Interactors and Interactables, it wasn't supposed to be a full demo but I realize that's a mistake on my part, I should have provided a complete demo. I've now done this! Link is in the description. Yes, these interaction components can be used for picking up items. Far and away the best inventory system I've found is this one by DevLogLogan th-cam.com/video/V79YabQZC1s/w-d-xo.html
When I mentioned the controller in the PlayerInteractor script in the following bit of code: func _ready() - > void: controller = player It is giving me an error "Identifier controller not declared in the current scope." Does anybody know why? **Note:** I am using ver 4.1.2 stable.
Thanks for the tutorial, although I am having an issue, "invalid get index 'focused' on base 'Nil', I typed the code exactly as shown, any ideas for a fix? I'm using 4.1.2 stable
is there anyway to use this in a scenario where the player changes scene when the interactor interacted with the interactable? im really new on this whole godot thing and im trying to make an interactable object where when the interact key is pressed it would change the scene to another scene, thanks
i like the style of this interaction system, looks very clean. I am new to the Godot Engine and i cant figure it out, how to pull or push informations from the inherited controller (Player) like a Node3D Position or just a variable. For Example: i am trying to change the position of the interactable to the position of a Node3D Slot i made in my player szene. And if this happens, a bool from my player script should go to true. Any suggestions how i can pull this informations from the controller variable?
Interactable is passed an Interactor component. In the _on_interactable_interacted function you could do something like interactor.controller.get_node('your_node').global_position
how do i change it so it can interact with a large group of objects, like the whistle in pikmin kinda thing? i know its to do with the "closest" code but i cant figure out what bit to get rid of, and trial and error is getting me nowhere
Use Area3D.get_overlapping_bodies() to get a list of everything the area is touching. You can then go trough each object inside with this: for node: Node in myArea.get_overlapping_bodies(): print(node.get_name())
Could you teach me the reason for using a signal like interactable.interacted.emit(self) instead of calling a function directly, like interactable.interact(self) ?
You could if you wanted to! Using the signal offers a little more flexibility though as it allows other nodes to connect to the same signal, check for specific interactions and execute code accordingly. For example say you have a door that's booby trapped. The door is interactable and will still open fine when interacted with, but the booby trap can be connected to the same component and we want it to trigger as well to damage the player. As always though there's no right or wrong way to implement this stuff. Adapt it to suit your needs.
@@flynsarmy Thanks for the explanation! I watched the video again, and I understand now. The flexibility comes from the ability to attach the signals to a _parent_ of the component, to trigger methods in the parent script. Love it. Still getting used to Godot, and these types of videos help a TON. Thanks for creating this!
Suppose you want to play an animation on the Player when they open the door, and a different one when they open the chest. Would you handle this in their respective _on_interactable_interacted() methods? Check the type of interactor.controller to verify it's a Player, and then call interactor.controller.play_chest_open_animation(), etc? Is there a better way?
@@ErikSnider That's probably how I'd do it. It's a bit more tightly coupled than I'd like but I can't think of a better solution off the top of my head.
Close to what I am trying to do but with left mouse click to interact. First click selects it and on second click on the item or npc and you are not close enough, you move to object and interact occurs
Got a strange situation where no errors are showing up but nothing from my functions are happening, the door to a scene i have just wont let me interact lol.
Hello, great tutorial! Apart from the lack of source code to be directly copied. I think it would be a better way of following the tutorial for some people(like me) if there was a github repository from which you could copy stuff. Oh and also you didn't show us the code for highliting and opening. I understand that the tutorial is more about interactions themselvs, but it would benefit people who are doing this kind of a game. Anyways, I really like how clean the system you have here :)
@onready var chest_material: StandardMaterial3D = chest_meshinstance.mesh.surface_get_material(0) In this code i'm getting a error which says: Invalid get index 'mesh' (on base: 'null instance') does anyone knows how to fix that?
On the line above where you're defining chest_meshinstance your path must be set wrong. Is this in a project you made or my example project on my git repo linked in the description?
when he says like button the like button does a thing
If you're having issues not seeing the interactable signals at 7:30 (I'm on 4.2rc1 and could not find them), restart godot and they should show up.

Pretty sure raycast has an option in the properties panel to make it detect Areas instead of just bodies.

You can then go trough each object inside with this:

Thanks for the feedback! I've added a demo repo to the description.

@onready var chest_material: StandardMaterial3D = chest_meshinstance.mesh.surface_get_material(0) In this code i'm getting a error which says: Invalid get index 'mesh' (on base: 'null instance') does anyone knows how to fix that?
On the line above where you're defining chest_meshinstance your path must be set wrong.
Is this in a project you made or my example project on my git repo linked in the description?
@@flynsarmy thats in my project and i dont know how to fix it it really freaks me out
