Changing Player Appearance when Equipping | Godot Tutorial

[@digzletraitplat5178]

Thank a lot, I had insight on how to achieve that but you made it plain and clear !

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Great to hear!

[@Gamedev00100]

Thank you for the helpful tutorial, i watched every single episode of it and it helps me a lot specially the last one it was a headache for me not to figure out how to change the textures for the player sprites.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Glad I could help :)

[@Chevifier]

As soon as I saw those spritesheets it all clicked to me how they do equipment changing in 2d. I was always wondering how it was done.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

There are several ways, this is one of them :) And has been an often requested video on the channel :)

[@robwetz]

thank you all your videos! not sure where i missed it but can you share the video that explains scenehandler?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Just an empty node, nothing in it

[@robwetz]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter ah, ok, i thought there might be more to it. thanks!

Thank you, Is this the same method for baldur's gate games?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

I know Diablo used this method. Baldur's gate is from the same period and is likely to have used a similar method, but I can't confirm this.

[@VortexArtLab]

Thanks a lot. I am very very interested in how it can be done with a 3D model in godot?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Yeah I got something for that planned when Godot 4 hits :)

[@arm866]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter Any chance you can do a video sooner? It's something I'm struggling to do with Godot right now.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

@@arm866 nope sorry, there is little logic in doing 3d tutorials so shortly before a big 3d update (Godot4). Also, a tutorial takes about 6-10 hours to produce. So not something I can quickly throw in

[@arm866]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter No worries, I'll wait patiently while working on other aspects of my game :) When you eventually do it, it'll be cool if the tutorial went through the entire process from exporting from Blender (not the modelling part, just export settings and such) through to how to implement in Godot, if that's feasible for you to do.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

@@arm866 I will see what I can do, made some nodes on my tutorial ideas :)

Amazing!!!!

Hi,is it possible to make a tutorial for isometric simulation of buildings?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Could you be a little more specific? Not sure what you mean by 'isometric simulation' in relation to buildings?

holy shit that cool, tnx u rly

[@jamesban]

Just wondering, is load() function fast? Would it be better to preload the sprites in memory if the item is equipped or in inventory or would this be unnecessary?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

That depends how many you have. If you got 20+, That would be 20+ big textures to keep in memory at all time. Loading could result in a split second of lag, but you change equipment in low-action moments normally. So the resources should be available and it leaves more memory to spare for those high intensity action scenes.

How to add an item from the map to this inventory. Let's say i open a chest or got a loot Can you teach me how?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

You simply add the data to the inventory dictionary in the player_data singleton. Next time the player opens his inventory the item will be there.

[@GamerReborn1979]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter i need your guidance on this,

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

@@GamerReborn1979 Have a try, if it doesn't work, join the Discord and ask.

[@cinetic_]

Check out the "Godot Tutorial Picking Up Items" video from the previous Advanced Inventory System tutorial series, it's what you're asking about.

[@justxhiro9612]

Is it possible to change the player's current sprite to another one? In this case, the player's current appearance has a sword on the back. When I change his weapon into a glove, the sword is gone as it changes the whole appearance. From attack motions to movement motions. I've been struggled to this issue. I hope you could help me out ^^

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Would love to help, but I don't understand your pronlem fully

[@justxhiro9612]

Basically, the player has 2 different sprite sheets: One with sword and one with bare hand. Swap his weapon will change the abilities he has. So, when he uses bare hand, he could sprint, drop-kick, and so on. And when he uses sword, he could slash combo, impact, and so on.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

@@justxhiro9612 So changing the sprite should be easy with this tutorial. Changing the behavior requires a state machine. If you search for 'state machine' there is a couple of tutorials on it. I don't have one dedicated to a state machine on my channel.

[@justxhiro9612]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter State machine? I'll find the simple one. Hope I don't end up by doing Game Endeavor's methods that more confusing. Thanks for the advice ^^

[@CROXoDyLE]

is there a good way to rotate the sprites in the sprite sheet to follow the cursor?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

What my animation player and animation tree tutorials :)

@@GameDevelopmentCenter thank you!

[@not_velsia]

The thumbnail was quite deceiving, I'm looking for a tutorial on something actually using 3D stuff not renders, do you know any?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

The thumbnail is literally a screen capture from what is done in the video.
