Godot 3.0: Top-down Tank Battle - Part 6

Welcome to a new tutorial series. Many of you have requested a full game tutorial, so I've chosen a top-down tank game. I have no idea how many parts this will be, but as we go we'll cover things like tilemaps, pathfinding, ai/behavior, and many other topics.
Follow the written version of the series here:

Code for this part can be downloaded here:

As always that was a good high quality video that did a great job of explaining the what and why if your process. I'm not sure where I learned this but you can also drag an asset from the inspector into your code window and it will populate your code with the path.

Thank you!

[@SergioCandelaRamirez]

best godot tutorial i've found so far, and I can't believe it's for free! I'm totally going to support you on your patreon, Chris

[@sixiangyang]

I like this series.

[@skrolikowski]

Great video! Great series! (by the way, the link to the blog is incorrect)

[@fjonesjones2]

Great quality video, really finding Godot a great game engine to use.. thank you.

[@ronaldpikksaar2202]

Thanks for another great tutorial series! It's great to see your own health bar but would it be possible to see enemy health as well, lets say at the top of enemies like in RTS or something?

[@Kidscancode]

Working on exactly that for the next one!

[@ronaldpikksaar2202]

KidsCanCode Thanks, you're too good.

[@thatchipmunksings]

Youre a master of Godot. In short, God.

Hey Chris, Thanks for this and the many other tutorials you have produced over the years. These are invaluable to me as a 46 (nearly 47) year old trying to learn code for the first time. I have a problem with my life bar though, it stays at 100% strangely, if I set it to say 10% and then let any enemy hit me, it goes back to 100% I have probably missed a whole bunch of things up as I have tried one from Pigdev, Game development centre and now this one. my hp for the player seems to be working as I should take 10 hits from the enemy and I die after 10 hits. I don't want to paste a whole load of code in here, so was wondering if you had any ideas on why the health bar shoots back to 100% if I set it to 10%, or is that what happens by default if the progress bar isn't working? thatnks again for your tutorials they're top notch.

First comment! Glad you didn't give up on us, we're ready to go.

[@LordTeleman]

Very nice!

[@Puuppamies]

Hey you forgot to add links to beginner tutorials for animating the health bar flash. It is easy to just search one but you said you would link one :)

[@AngryCreeper-yc6mi]

thank you so much 😊😊😊😊😊

[@etopowertwon]

What UI pack is it? It looks like kenny's uipack-space, but kenny's has no 200 width versions of bar, or was it modified off screen?

[@Kidscancode]

Yes, I adjusted it to add those for some quick bars. You can grab the extended bars from the repository.

[@alesiobaca961]

Why did you use a shield image from I don't know where?

[@DrDrift-rl6cc]

Where did you guys get the health bar? I can't find it in the Kenny assets anywhere. Thanks.

[@DrDrift-rl6cc]

I found them in the completed project, but I'm still curious where KidsCanCode got them.

[@askaranarbekov3145]

and where you can download your strips for health?

[@Kidscancode]

There is a link to the project files in the comments below the video.

[@giggleghost3751]

Thanks!

[@FM_GOBi]

Thanks!

Anyone got problem at Tween.interpolate_property? My one Attempt to fall function interpolate_property in bass null instance on a null instance

[@Kidscancode]

This isn't a problem with interpolate_property, it's that you have an invalid reference to your tween node. godotrecipes.com/basics/getting_nodes/

[@akimmahadi8641]

KidsCanCode yea yea sorry. Didn't notice that you put tween node. Btw nice tutorial.

[@moric4677]

GOD OF GODOT !

[@junndeb2421]

Hey there, I've been following this tutorial and I hit a roadblock. I got an error in func take_damage(amount) part, it's related between the health -= amount and the body.take_damage(damage) in the bullet script. I'm going to try and find the solution for this even though I'm still a beginner. I do hope you might help me out here, also I'm using Godot 3.2.

[@junndeb2421]

oh and the error i have is invalid operands 'Nil' and 'int' in operator '-', which is the - in the health -= amount part

[@junndeb2421]

I typed func ready() instead of func _ready(), I apologized for my stupidity. Btw your tutorials are great.

[@IFarrell625]

Where can I download the "UI" assets you use in the video? The assets over at kenney.nl/assets/topdown-tanks-redux have no UI assets... Just to be clear, I did download the Pack, but it has no UI assets. It has the tanks, the bullets, the items and the tilemaps, yes, but no UI...

[@Kidscancode]

You can get it from my repository in the description, or from kenney's site: kenney.nl/assets/ui-pack

[@IFarrell625]

@@Kidscancode Got it. thanks!
