How to Create PROCEDURAL Generation in Godot 4

[@neontetra7208]

i used your godot rpg and survival tutorial few months ago, now i can write scripts for anything i want :) im doing a pretty big project so im waiting for more videos

[@dev-worm]

so happy to hear!! that is wonderful! congrats

[@j.archives4319]

We need a dialogic video IMMEDIATELY YOURE AMAZING

[@dev-worm]

i think youre right!! thank you!! it means the world!

[@Spaced0ut000]

We need a new video going over scene transitions 🥺 I followed the last one exactly, multiple times and I’m still having errors going back to the main scene and I’ve seen other in the comments having issues as well. Maybe one day you can go into more detail about how scene transitions work. Thanks for all your help.

[@dev-worm]

Ill really start looking into creating a more detailed one in the future! I'm sorry about the errors happening with the old one now

[@Spaced0ut000]

@@dev-worm it’s okay not your fault!! Truly thankful for all the videos either way, I have learned so much fr 🙏

[@slackjawedpenguin3306]

I love your tutorial videos! They are onto the point and easily understood! Keep it up!

[@dev-worm]

Happy to hear that! thank you so much!

[@felipezymor9970]

Amazing, just what I needed. Could you please make a video showing how to access ground tiles, for example, to place enemies and props in the Gaea generated dungeon?

[@goldfisho15]

Wow your videos are great and your backlog looks incredible too! Keep it up, subbed!

[@dev-worm]

thank you so much!!

[@StickmanDraws_]

How would you add enemies and objects that spawn throughout the level?

[@nova1134]

Hey, so I'm not three minutes in and I've already hit a wall, when I try to add a noise generation node, it shows that they're all there, but it doesn't add it when I click on it to select. It's enabled and I don't know what to do, do you have any advice?

[@NehezTheWrackful]

Is it possible to generate the map and use it statically? Like I dont want to have new procedural world each time player starts the game i just want some nice way to generate the base world and then handcraft the details and use it as my world (including the chunk loader optimizer). So generate the world, save / bake it and use it as world on ur game scene with world streaming :). Or is it only for pure procedural worlds every time u run the game?

[@Gambit-YT]

DEFINITELY saving this for later. Spent hours trying to code my own procedural generation and it still doesn't work lol

[@dev-worm]

procedural generation is pretty complex so I hope it helps!! thank you!!

[@wizardpooypants8671]

This has been one of my favorite videos of yours and the one I’m currently using for a project, could you make a video on using time data, like detecting wether the user is on land or water?

[@Ehren1337]

Is there something you can do without tilemap and use 3D? Maybe a tutorial for it?

[@currypancake208]

Wow, super easy to do and understand. Great work, thanks for tutorial

[@dev-worm]

of course anytime!! thank you so much! it means the world!

[@lavenda7403]

Oh, c'est géniale! ,merci pour cette vidéo. Donc, pardonne-moi pour ma question bizarre, mais puis-tu faire une vidéo où tu expliques comment il faut créer les platformers en 3D sur Godot 4?

[@Jgames-rj4zr]

I'm using the heightmap generator and I can't find any guides for it, and it doesnt have the array thing that the others do so I can only use 1 tile.

[@AdamsAGD]

DevWorm !!! you were one of my first godot tutorialors !

[@dev-worm]

wow!! so happy to hear!! thank you so much!! I really hope I did a good job as a teacher!

[@CluTrading]

We need a tutorial on jump buffering

[@dev-worm]

thats a good idea! thanks! Ill look into it now!

[@juntingdai7928]

I want to generate multi-layer with “isometric Shape”, so I set up 3 layers in the TileMap. However, when using the gasa plugin, it can only generate two layers. After testing, I found that when setting more than 2 “Sizes” in the Tiles, the third and subsequent tiles are not generated. Why is this happening? Is it because of the isometric Shape? I'm sorry, I'm a beginner.

[@Gobknoblin]

This seems really handy for 2D games, but is it possible to do procedural generation for 3D games in Godot too?

[@dev-worm]

yes completely! this same add-on has 3D generator nodes.. so instead of using the 2D ones you can create generations in 3D with Gaea!!

[@Frank_144]

Thanks for the tutorials m8, I'll make sure to watch the series

[@dev-worm]

thanks!! hope they help!! if you ever need anything then please let me know!

[@dajajax]

Does this works with navigation agent? I'm working on a procedural generated dungeon using a tilemaplayer, but I'm still not getting the pathing done right.

[@BeigeDockland]

Great video! Any advice for using terrains with auto-tiling? In particular, I can't figure out how to fix the gap between terrains. Among other things I've tried using the Terrain Gap Fix but I can't get anything to work :(

[@diobrando5839]

Hello. Do you know how I can create different bioms? For example, in a north, there will be a snow biom, and in a south, there will be a tropics.

[@dev-worm]

you would have to base it off of the current tiles. think of this generation as the elevation. Then after you need to set y ranges of where you want your different biomes and then change the tile map elevation tiles to their correct snow, grass, sand, etc tiles. Based of the elevation and the y position.

[@maxim-lanskoy]

Can I setup noise (not walker) generator with terrains instead of individual tiles?

[@Theonewhoknows98]

this is amazing, but how i could generate some trees and other stuff with this addon?

[@SomeRandomWittyName]

Hey noob question, but how would you recommend adding diferent objects, scenes into maps generated like this? (let's say enemy spawner or treasure chest)?

[@dev-worm]

yes completely!! but I recommend creating a different script for that, something where it checks if the world has been generated and if so picks a few random tiles of the certain tiletype that you want, and spawns the scene at that global location!

[@SomeRandomWittyName]

@@dev-worm thnx your approach seems easier to implement :)

[@SiddhantaGhosh-q1o]

Can it be used in platformer

[@robotmadeoflego]

Do we know if there’s any way to generate with Walker in code at runtime?

Hi, can this convert an image to a map? 1 pixel to 1 block, hand drawn map.

[@johnduplechain]

Thank you for this!

[@dev-worm]

thank you!! I hope it helped!

[@TimurBubnov]

Hi, your video has been very helpful, but how can you add corner walls to the dungeon procedural generation. It would be very helpful if you answered

[@dev-worm]

the generation is all done based on how the tileset terrain is set up! so if you set the terrain with corners then everything should generate correctly

[@pavel7950]

Hey man! Great tutorial, can you make one for infinite chunk generation? I've managed to set it up for my game but it lags a lot with Gaea, character skips positions and stuff. Is there any way to fix it?

[@alotron2332]

can you do tutorial about procedural generation but with trees and rocks that player can collect?

[@dev-worm]

you would have to spawn the trees and rocks randomly through an other node... and make sure they only spawn on tile type 1 or what ever your grass tile is, so they don't spawn in the ocean. It is kinda hard to explain.. but I might work on a tutorial soon for it! I am going to cover spawning in a future tutorial in the hack'n'slash series so that should help a little with the spawning logic
