Godot FIGHTING GAME Tutorial | Getting Started & State Machine

[@fizzymizzy_]

Commenting for reach! Cool video dude

[@helewrer3]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@michaelwaldsmith495]

Great tutorial! There were a couple gaps that encourage self learning, such as new grouping if you're using Godot V. 4.3, but over all thorough and efficient! There were some points where I wished you still showed the whole screen instead of cropping so I could see which script you were working on for easier comparison. Will be following the rest of the series to help make my first game!

[@helewrer3]

Thank you! The series is complete you can check out the rest via the fighting game tutorial playlist. Regarding the full-view, yes I have incorporated that in my newer tuts.

@@helewrer3 I am getting a new error: "Invalid access to property or key 'animation' on a base object of type 'CharacterBody2D (Player)' " Do you have any advice? I tried a different method of character movement, but it did not have enough for my project needs. Now coming back to this video, I do it over again and get this error. This is my third "start over from scratch" Thanks for any advice you may have.

[@michaelwaldsmith495]

Nevermind, I solved. After retrying many times ( your method and others' methods) and in my frustration I looked over a small typo. I am now back to a point where I can move on to part 2 of this series. Thank you....

6:22 In which node should I create the code for the state?

[@helewrer3]

A standard node2d node.

[@DiegoForcin]

@@helewrer3 ok, i love you

[@ShadowMaelstrom]

I enjoy the tutorial but some things seemed to be glossed over a lightening speed. For example the animation or even what nodes you are using for scene setup.

[@helewrer3]

Yeah, I glossed over some topics, that I thought were basics (simple documentation searches), so skipped over them to cover the more important stuff.

I would like to know where the group editor is and HOW I use it

[@helewrer3]

docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/groups.html

[@ShadowMaelstrom]

I think if we are using the newer version of GODOT the group editor was changed somewhat. The video is based on 4.2 and the newest version (4.3 as I write this) is different.

[@TheRealKaiProton]

This looks very good, and I wanna play along at home, but, too quick, and no directions, what the hell did you assign to the group, for example, I dont even know how to open that group selector, always done it in the node inspector, and looking at your project files, the player is not part of the group

[@helewrer3]

Sorry to hear that, I should have been more clear. To add/creatr groups, kindly look at this doc - docs.godotengine.org/en/4.2/tutorials/scripting/groups.html Specifically the "Using The Node Dock" section

[@Veronica-bd9fq]

At the end I clicked play but the animation only runs 1 time and then it stops :/

[@helewrer3]

In the animation editor, you will see a button at the top right that will toggle whether the animation will loop or not.

[@Veronica-bd9fq]

@@helewrer3 Thank you! It was hidden there

[@AnnonO5-i8k]

hi, nice video

[@helewrer3]

Maybe you did a typo? Nil basically means that the new state it is going into is not defined, most likely your current state is passing a null reference in the place of the new state. Check your state mapping in each state's editor panel to make sure that they are correctly mapped and not empty.

[@AnnonO5-i8k]

@@helewrer3 Thank you so much

[@dominickrobinson332]

How would you deal with interupting a state when you get hit?

[@helewrer3]

That is covered in the subsequent videos of this series, please have a look at the "dealing damage & knock-back" one

[@Capt.Burakuman]

How did you Group that note after the onready var player. i been looking at the groups in documentation is only showing code.

[@helewrer3]

docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/groups.html See "Using The Node Dock"

[@weapons_seven]

Could you do a video for coding in C#

[@helewrer3]

Sorry, but I haven't used C# with Godot before, so, I might not be the best person to make a tutorial with that.

[@weapons_seven]

@@helewrer3 ohh okay no problem

[@what-err0rs]

tilemaps deprecated

[@helewrer3]

Yes, we have the tile layer node now, 4.3 came right after I uploaded this tutorial 🫠 Although it should be the same fundamentally

[@what-err0rs]

​@@helewrer3 well, im a intermediate beginner and i could be wrong but the physics tab in the inspector only prompts: Collision enable/disable, Use kinetic bodies, and collision visibility mode.

[@what-err0rs]

In conclusion, I dont see a physics layer in the inspector tab, only a physics
