@altria said in Playing animation from a specific keyframe:

Does that mean it doesn't return -1 if you run it later down the blocks?

It returns -1 in any place

Update on my post that's being analyzed: I found out about AnimationPlayer.speed_scale searching on google now everything is working just fine! Thank you!

new code:

func update_gun(): if Input.is_action_just_pressed("fire") and anim_player.is_playing() == false and cocked == true: shoot() cocked = false elif Input.is_action_just_pressed("fire") and anim_player.is_playing() == false: hammer_debug = true anim_player.speed_scale = 1.0 anim_player.play(trigger_cock) anim_player.connect("animation_finished", func on_anim_finish(anim_name): if anim_name == trigger_cock and hammer_debug == true: shoot() ) if Input.is_action_just_released("fire") and anim_player.current_animation == trigger_cock: hammer_debug = false anim_player.speed_scale = -1.0 func _process(_delta): update_gun()

Just added a little debounce so the animation ending while going backwards don't call the shoot function.

I would take a look on how minecraft was made, using threads to deal with those objects.

Hi @altria I ended up reloading the previous commit from before I added the wasp to the project, then re-imported the wasp. Seems to be working okay now. I thankfully didn't lose much progress. I suspect there was some sort of corruption during the initial import. Thank you for taking a look.

okidokie! Thanks for the reply

Yes, you can use get_global_mouse_pos() to get the global position of the mouse

Perfect - thanks!

@Dooniil There isn't absolutely correct ways to do it I think :gothink: if it works, then it works.

There's also another way to do it, which is to have an Autoload class, but inside that class you put in static members :godio:

Halo, brother

This worked great! Thank you so much!

Amazing! I can run 4.2 in my old laptop, thank you so much ^^

@altria thanks for sharing about this ! I was thinking about creating my game server in Godot, and run it on my phone. Probably not the greatest idea...

Disclaimer, I never released any commercial games. Only mini games that I've submitted for game jams and that's it. So take it with grain of salt.

GameMaker doesn't officially support 3D, so if you're planning to do anything 3D you can cross that one off the list. While it's true that you can do 3D in GameMaker, they do expose the APIs you need for that however you are pretty much on your own. As for Unity I have written on my reasons switching from Unity to Godot. As for Unreal I don't have much experience in it, but they seems to be an overkill if you are strictly working on a 2D game.

What I like about Godot:

It's lightweight. I can go on vacation and bring my decades old laptop, and it will run Godot Engine fine. Heck it would work on phone as well. Easy to extend. Writing custom module for the engine is pretty simple, even simpler if your module can be done with GDScript. For comparison, writing extension in GameMaker is real pain. Godot Engine is Godot Games. I really love this dogfooding approach. The Godot IDE that you are working to make game itself is a game, with Editor modules on. Free and open-source. Free as in free beer, for you to copy modify redistribute. So if for whatever reason there's something that blocking in your projects you can always resort to do engine modification.

Things that I would assume why Godot isn't as widely adopted as other more popular engine is the lack of resources. If you take look at Unity and see their resources are tremendous, be it learning resources, asset store, courses, etc. Their ecosystems are huge, compared to them Godot is like midget :goded:

Performance has never been the main selling point of Godot, and I don't think it will ever be.

Lack of security. Your game by default is very easy to decompile and unpack.

Just my two cents.

Tux is a loveable mascot. Wishing you well with that!

I still use the default theme, it's so good I never thought about trying a different one

It worked perfectly. After a little tweaking my squishy little slime is bouncing all around. squish.gif

Ok so I figured it out. The reason it was eluding me was that it was two separate things which led me to all the wrong conclusions. .
First setting inertia back to 0 (which makes it automatically compute inertia and clearly that's good enough)
Second one of the objects I was colliding with for testing had a strange wonky collision box. It was a slight rhombus although I saw nothing in its inspector to indicate why, and it was slightly scaled up. I am kind of amazed how such a seemingly tiny change had made that object into something that would teleport my tank to space every time I touched one of its corners (not in the video).

@MSI-Emperium It might help if you can explicitly describe the error you're getting, as in, copy and paste it here, or perhaps a screenshot.

@MSI-Emperium said in Missing Signal Connection Warning:

I do my training through Godot docs.

If you mean https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/index.html, it contains documentation for every version of the engine so we don't really know whether you're using the current version or not. What version pops up when you go to Help -> About Godot from the editor?

Haha, yeah googling it is a good idea

Hey guys, I found out what my problem was. I needed to place the TextureRect inside of a Panel node and it now follows the camera like it's suppose to. This also works with the Sprite2D node, make it the child of a Panel node and the problem is solved.

Ребят, как сделать игру?
