Drives me nuts: teaches like I'm in Jr. High. Also drives me nuts: I've learned so many of Godot's basics that other tutorials have failed to teach me because he teaches like I'm in Jr. High. Thanks for being so thorough.

The only issue with this tutorial is that it isn't done yet :( I started with this tutorial and I learned a lot. Now that I'm waiting for new episodes I've ventured off into looking at other tutorials for specific things, and most people that are making guides don't teach anywhere near as well as you do.

@@ctkachuk08 I've been learning by doing, and by "doing" I mean googling the answers enough times until I've gotten to the point that I can do some things without any guides now. I'm to the point now that I'm procrastinating the making of the first level of my project.

Thank you very much for these tutorials. I started a project in Godot 3 and then procrastinated for some time on it, so I decided to redo the whole thing in Godot 4 now that it's out. This has been very helpful as both a refresher and as a way to recognize the changes to the basic foundation between the two versions.

The instructions are easy enough to follow along, and I found myself speeding the video up and skipping a little, haha. But the one concept that slipped my grasp was the camera rig. It took me a few minutes of sitting here and thinking to understand it. The "Camera Controller" Is like the base of a camera mount, the "Camera Target" is like the end of the arm of the mount, and the Camera3D is the actual camera. So by positioning the mount on the player, it's always going to be attached to the player. Moving the arm doesn't change the position of the mount, but lets you position the actual camera. This helped me understand why I often see cameras nested this way in people's projects.

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I found one of your videos because I needed to understand world environment, and I ended up watching the whole course. I have one question about the 0.15 value you use in the lerp fonction : as it will be executed every frame, shouldn't you choose a much bigger value and multiply it by delta, so your game would not depend on the frame rate ?

@SootytheMagicalBear 6 ай бұрын

is -1 left and + 1 right , z + 1 back and z -1 forward? because it seems to be the opposite to what the transform tool is saying when you move the object in the scene? I added a print function to see what velocity I was getting when moving and everything seems to be the opposite.

@PastaMaster115 6 ай бұрын

This isn't working. I do every step you do in building the camera, checking top level and coding it to follow, but when I go to my level 1 scene, the camera is placed in front of the player in first person. Not behind, where I put it. I even deleted the whole camera setup and did it again from scratch. Same thing. When I leave Top Level out of it, and just place the camera normally, without the position code, it follows just fine exactly where I put it relative to the player. Edit: Okay so what I was doing was using the Camera_Controller node to move the location and Camera_Target to angle it. I guess I should have been using Camera_Target for both things. The camera still shows up right above my character in the level 1 scene but when I play it, it's behind me like it should be. What a weird way to do that. It seems to get the exact same result. Would the lerp() function still work if you don't do it like this?

Started with your 3D tutorial for Godot 3 at first. Then realised, since I am on Godot 4.0>, that they totally overhauled how the camera behaves. I fail to see how this is supposed to be simpler: clicking target vs creating nodes of nodes and manually coding. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For getting a reference to a node in the scene tree, I prefer to use the _export_ annotation, rather than the _$_ construct. *@export var camera_controller: Node3D* _(not within a function, similar to the "var gravity" declaration)_ The variable is then set outside of the script, and it will automatically update if the node's name is changed, or its position within the scene tree is modified. *-$Camera_Controller.position-* *camera_controller.position* I can then mess around with the structure of the scene without ever needing to go back into the script to fix node paths.

Had a little syntax error by misspelling $Camera_Controller as $Camera_Controler , error came up as “Invalid set index ‘position’ (on base: ‘null instance’) with value of type ‘Vector3’.” So if you’re getting an error like that, make sure you spelled everything correctly! EDIT: Another error I found was that the camera wouldn’t follow my cube after implementing the code. Turns out I had the “Top Level” toggle on for Camera_Target and Camera3D by accident. Their movement was de-synced from the controller’s.

@theakman2 Ай бұрын

If you're interpolating by a fixed amount per frame (e.g. 0.15 per frame) then the interpolation speed will depend on the frame rate - e.g. the camera will move ten times faster at 100fps compared with 10fps. If you want a consistent interpolation speed regardless of frame rate, you'd need to vary the lerp amount by the current frame rate.

@TJ-fv9vs 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for this nice video! Just a question: you are not multiplying the constant 0.15 by delta_time because it's inside the _physics_process() function right? And _physics_process() is guaranteed to run at a fixed amount of frames per second. Otherwise, as I understand it, when inside the regular _process() function, you would typically write 0.15 * delta_time to obtain frame-rate-independent camera smoothing

@ShawnLanphear 3 ай бұрын

9/11 tutorials done!!! Question, do you ever go over how to make a smoother jump function or would you know how to fix this?? Currently when you hit the space bar you have enough time to float to the left or right and then drift back to the original spot before the character hits the ground again. Awesome tutorials though as well, please keep up the work you're single handedly teaching me the basics of Godot 3D haha

btw: You still can use whitespaces in node names, eg: $"Camera Controller".position = position

@BinaryBolias 6 ай бұрын

The purpose of the "Camera_Target" node would appear to be purely for educational purposes; included to demonstrate transformation dependency. Beyond that, I disapprove of its inclusion, as it does complicate the scene for no apparent benefit. _(if it is given a purpose in a later episode, the node could have been added in that same episode, rather than that purpose having been arbitrarily premeditated here)_ Additionally, I'd prefer to keep node names in _PascalCase,_ but that naming convention not being a strict rule may be good to convey.

@ShOKeRplz 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for a very nice tutorial. For a camera following script, I think it's better to calculate the distance between previous point and the current one and then multiply it by some constant, 0.15 in your case. This way even when player is moving too quickly (falling for example) the camera will still be able to catch up. Here's an example: var position_difference = Vector3($CameraController.position.x - position.x, $CameraController.position.y - position.y, $CameraController.position.z - position.z) var distance = sqrt(pow(position_difference.x, 2) + pow(position_difference.y, 2) + pow(position_difference.z, 2)) $CameraController.position = lerp($CameraController.position, position, distance * 0.1)
