Hey DevWorm, keep doing what you're doing. These tutorials are really helpful and I'm sure I don't speak for myself when I say they are greatly appreciated.

[@dev-worm]

thank you! it means the world to me! glad they are helpful!

[@gamingdragon6165]

I agree with this guy. I really cannot wait for the next vid

[@gamingdragon6165]

@@dev-worm when will the next vid come though?

[@wabsastudios]

@@dev-worm I always want to make a Pokémon like will you ever make one?please do

[@JiKayPh]

Nice! Looking forward to the next vids!

[@dev-worm]

thank you!! coming soon!

[@buzzbuzz20xx]

Awesome !!! glad to see the next part is out

[@dev-worm]

thanks!! hope it helps!

[@Pabloparsil]

Protip: arrays have a .pick_random method! (I didn't know this but I figured there had to be a function for this). Hope it helps!

[@dev-worm]

ah thanks!! that is super helpful!

[@PollyCot]

Struggling hard with AI for my game but these give me a shimmer of hope.

[@sammywn3622]

Loving your work! Just a suggestion for the bat wander function, rather than adding to its velocity you could use lerp from velocity to a new velocity so that you gradually change between the new velocities but can’t infinitely gain speed in any direction. Code would be something like: lerp (velocity, speed * direction, delta).

[@dev-worm]

very good point! thank you! this passed right over me! so thank you

[@loyogamestv544]

Your explanation is nice. I hope you can explain how the player rides a horse and picks up weapons from the ground😊

[@Ironpants57]

Riding a horse would be a player state or boolean; is_riding:bool. It's much like the weapon equip in an earlier video in the series. You would also need more sprites.

[@bradleywood1984]

@@Ironpants57 That's right. Personally I would use a state machine for all that since the logic can get a little much but you could just as easily use a single script with a bunch of conditonals.

[@Mangalify]

Hey DevWorm, I learned From You To Much! but can you make a tutorial about export game to android 8 in godot 4 becuase i saw a lot of videos and cant do it😢

[@neptun3189]

heck yes dude, heck yes

[@dev-worm]

hope it helps!! thanks!

[@tnekkGD]

awesome tutorial, now I'm just waiting for you to upload the movement of the frog because I'm making a game with the same concept of this and i can't make my own code for the enemy movement, so i need your help... and btw i subbed to your channel

[@dev-worm]

frog is coming soon!! I'd say around episode 6... so about a week from today!! I hope it ends up being very helpful for your project!!

[@htosh3837]

2 +2 = 4 - 1 = 3 quick maths

[@derDooFi]

44 long and a 38, too, that’s 82 we’re doing the maths

[@gaborszafner9662]

I genuinely feel like you have the most varied topics on Godot 4 on the platform. You have a video for everything. Only if you could talk 20% slower ^^ as a non-native speaker I have to keep going back. But love your videos a lot, really. Thanks for these guides.

[@dev-worm]

thank you so much!! it truly means the world!! I am sorry about the speaking thing!! I really do apologize and I will take note for the future! but if you ever cant understand something then please just let me know!

[@StepTheGlow]

broo you can use caption it helps out a ton except when mrbeast talks too much the youtube crash--uhadahdijihia............."THIS COMMENT WAS DELETED BY KZbin"

[@NocturnalPenguin]

You are awesome! Would it be possible to explain the process of how you let the bay access the player’s position? I saw that you had a global script and perhaps I missed it.

[@bradleywood1984]

Basically he made the player body global so that the bat script could use it. You need to go into the player script and initialize the player as self in the ready function. Then, you can call the player's body inside the bat script (or anyone else!) that you need it.

[@itsME-dc4vm]

bro is my saviour ;D

[@dev-worm]

haha! glad it was helpful!

[@ErenyeagerO_O]

Awesome 👍😎, and finally u still didn't scale Ur editor which makes hard to see what U exactly doing 😂❤❤❤

[@dev-worm]

so sorry! thanks for reminding me!! I just wrote this down on a sticky-note and Im gonna leave it on my keyboard so I remember! thanks!

[@jasonwilliams8730]

👍

[@StepTheGlow]

ah can you help me it's been on my mind lately there's a game named "Swordigo" can you make a "tiny little bit" tutorial on how to make enemy slashing movement because I want similar movement and "enemy beating is fun" experience! thanks for reading!!!

[@dev-worm]

Ill start looking into it!! thanks for letting me know!

[@StepTheGlow]

@@dev-worm thanks buddy!!

[@stormingelysium1996]

It made me laugh when we first give our bat movement and mine flew straight up, then suddenly veered off and flew off the side and never came back : p

[@dev-worm]

haha did the little bat run away... how did everything come out in the end??

[@justpietro2186]

Those enemies also works on top down games right?

[@dev-worm]

yes of course!! maybe just make the speed a little lower

[@bleunny]

Why is Vector2 is not working for me ??

[@dev-worm]

are you getting any errors?

[@gryzman]

there's a function that picks random value, pick_random()

[@dev-worm]

yes! sorry about that! I could've saved a line of code!! didnt know this was a function! so thanks for letting me know!

[@user-vd6fh5ng3v]
