Godot Recipe: Simplified Airplane Controller

[@aadishsaini1042]

Following you since 2015, started from python to pygame and then to godot i had came to your channel in search of a query regarding pygame, i enjoyed your series so i continued.... i hope that you never stop uploading and this channel grows big

[@XPlats]

i did pygame and to godot aswell and jsut stated godot not to long a go like a month

[@sniper_hd]

this needs to have at least 10K views

[@uplanduk]

That's exactly what I thought too - till I realised it was only uploaded today

[@namrata5025]

It does

[@kiliandrilltzsch8272]

i tried to modify it a bit and added basically full control to my aircraft. thanks for making such a easy to understand tutorial

[@darricmoore2151]

Hey! So I was directed to this video while searching for general flight controls for rockets in godot, but to my surprise most of the tutorials out there don’t really cover anything related to rocket control. After watching this video, you covered a lot of the questions I had and I was wondering if a future topic could possibly be a simple rocket control tutorial? I really enjoy watching your content, you’re truest brilliant at what you do

[@NesiAwesomeness]

It's almost as if you're reading my mind, it's like when I need something you come out with a video about it

[@jamesm.4474]

Good sir you are a king and criminally unerrated

[@tmilker]

If you're following along with the video, it has a typo at 12:24. It should be pitch_input += Input.get_action_strength("pitch_up") If you follow it as-is, you won't be able to pitch down anymore once you're in the air because it's overwriting the value with the pitch_up input.

[@kairuma9678]

Awesome video, incredibly helpful. The only issue I ran into is that turning is reversed when you fly upside down.

[@zodiaq7186]

unsure, so don’t take offense to this, but isnt that how airplanes work?

[@emeraldraidz3167]

@@zodiaq7186 Yes it is lol

[@rbcubosengenharia694]

Pretty simple and interesting ! Keep your awesome work, we're so grateful

[@TackerTacker]

Thank you. Great as always. Love the outro :D

[@Kidscancode]

Wow, that was not supposed to be there :P

[@TackerTacker]

@@Kidscancode That's what I thought :D

[@JohnnyCashOriginal]

I had to change the rotation.y part to rotation.z to get the plane to bank. Not sure how your code gets the plane to bank, because in Godot 3 z is forward and back so plane should be rotation on the forward axis. At least this is how I was able to make it roll/bank

[@otisjones6752]

humm I have a small problem Im using GoDot 3.3.4 the follow code creates a error ... $Mesh/Body.rotation.y = lerp($Mesh/Body.rotation.y, turn_input, level_speed * delta) and the error output is Invalid get index 'rotation' (on base: 'null instance') How would I correct this what is $Mesh/Body ?.

[@bob-zb3ed]

you need to make a mesh body too

[@theteastoners5935]

thanks a lot i was looking for a control like this for a game i was thinking about i do need to work on some of the mechanics but this helps me a lot its the best basics to start this type of game

[@thelumberjack8838]

Amazingly done

[@tyronethomas5075]

how do u make it so the plane is in 3d instead of 2d

[@marcosadrian65]

Nice! makes me want to jump to 3d 😀 to try at least

[@Kidscancode]

You should!

[@Pekoteko]

Hey! I loved your video :) I know I am a bit late to ask questions (3 years from posting it) but... I was wondering of adding simple physics and what could would happen if you add gravity here? Could setting up a "gliding" statys = to gravity* some delta to reduce it, and applying whenever you're not speeding up / throtling? Thanks a lot for the video :) very clear. I am kind of new to godot and I am getting to know fliying mechanics, but there are not a lot for 3D flying out there.

[@skrypciarz5974]

This is awesome, very simple and useful. Great channel

[@sethoz22]

In the written tutorial you forget to mention that get_input(delta) must be called in _physics_process(delta)

[@ehanamanath27]

your so good at it

[@Czogista-yq1zb]

How would you do a flight model like the one in game War Thunder, so that plane fly towards mouse?

[@abbasimaaz7223]

Now we just needed code for the player to enter and exit these vehicles

[@Kidscancode]

That's more to do with animation than code.

[@abbasimaaz7223]

@@Kidscancode I didn't get it, animation?... We just need enter and exit animation, isn't it and the idle animation of car or any other vehicle.. 🤔

[@BastiaanOlij]

Very very cool!

[@artik_mc6570]

Oh, I haven't watched videos from this channel for a long time. Thank you for the material, but I have cooled down to programming, my knowledge is not needed by anyone. I even learned the Unreal Engine. It turns out that all this takes a lot of time, and I don't have it, I'm sad. (О давно я не смотрел роликов с данного канала. Спасибо Вам, за материал, но я остыл к программированию, мои знания не кому не нужны. Я даже изучил движок Unreal Engine. Оказывается на всё это много времени надо, а у меня его нет мне печально.)

[@okpunorpatrick853]

[@anzdes219]

i have this error message when i play the game, do someone know why ? get_node: (Node not found: "f16Mesh/Body" (relative to "/root/level/f16").)

Why you don't do a wheel track for 2d top-down, for a future video

[@yw348]

5-6-23- I don't see the download link on the linked page anywhere. Where can I get a zip of the project?

[@MrSensitiveNipples]

At 10:17 in your code: if not grounded Rotation.x = 0 Grounded = true Velocity.y -= 1 Why is "rotation.x = 0" tabbed over one further than the sounding code in the if statement?

[@Kidscancode]

It's indented under `if not grounded`, so it will only be applied when first contacting the ground.

[@MrSensitiveNipples]

@@Kidscancode Thanks

[@FatDevGames]

I am following this in godot 4, have been able to convert most of this but I am having a problem at 4:13 I am getting the error “Error at (32,31): Too many arguments for “move_and_slide()” call. Expected at most 0 but received 2.” Just wondering if anyone had any idea of how to fix this

[@Kidscancode]

move_and_slide() is used differently in Godot 4. See docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/physics/using_character_body_2d.html

[@rafcon9141]

I haven´t tried it, but the game feel looks like the Sly Cooper 3 plane mission (fly of fancy).

[@OliverJ440]

can i have the project file?

[@skete1338]

i saw video tutorial from Gdquest the Dodge the creeps. any recommendations? should i buy your book from amazon? or just watch Gquest Dodge the creeps.

[@IrvanQadri]

this is awesome! I would like to know how you would like to implement a fuel system

Hello does your book from Amazon are still relevant??

[@yougood1621]

Is there a full tutorial?

[@markdenning5178]

I like that your airplane looks like a Russian I-16

[@OnyxIdol]

The footage of the plane is very choppy for some reason?

[@Kidscancode]

Yeah, I'm not sure why that happened. Something when I was rendering the video for upload.

[@martafernandez8129]

Do you leave KZbin?

[@sahilmalhan]

Thanks for a great video. I had a couple issues with this. I used a different plane model and it screwed up a lot as I was following the code. One issue is the z-axis for the model you are using is weird. Banking happens by transforming the y-axis. I figured out those quirks and made adjustments. One major issue I still am facing is the camera or the model flips when I try to do a 360. I can't understand what is actually flipping. This doesn't happen in your demo. I can share the code if anyone can help.

[@sahilmalhan]

I figured out the solution if anyone else is stuck. It's the interpolate camera code. The vector.up should be replaced with target.transform.basis.y in the look at parameter.

[@punishedfortniter]

How do I get that plane model?

[@yoyo12345]

Pygame tutorials plzz as I don't have a pc

[@ShootYourBricks]

How do you use physics? I'd like to use a rigid body, but changing the linear velocity every frame doesn't work.

[@Kidscancode]

When using rigid bodies, you move them by applying forces.

[@ShootYourBricks]

@@Kidscancode How do you apply the force though?

[@Kidscancode]

There are functions for this, such as `add_force()`

[@ShootYourBricks]

@@Kidscancode oh, ok. I'll have to try that. I'm trying to make a fighter jet game but I want to be able to take off from the ground and collide with things. Thanks

[@EthanReed0]

can you guys do some boating physics? for example: speed boat

[@Kidscancode]

The car demo I did recently would work really well for a boat as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqKvlJuerbKfmq8 I got the idea from Kenney, and he did a boat with his version: twitter.com/kenneynl/status/1109438181324263429?lang=en

[@abbasimaaz7223]

@@Kidscancode motorcycle if possible 😅

[@Kidscancode]

A motorcycle could use the exact same setup as the car. Just reverse the body tilt so it leans *into* curves instead.

[@Kidscancode]

Depends on the spaceship. If it's a "Star Wars" type ship it's really just an airplane and would fly pretty much the same way. A "true" spaceship would use all 6 degrees of freedom, which is much more complex to control.

[@BojanDam]

We are looking forward to that. 😉
