How To Make A Space Shooter Game In Godot 4 (Complete Tutorial)

[@under_nrrad]

Man it sucks to see how little views you get u deserve way more!

[@KaanAlpar]

Thanks man hopefully one day!

[@psycholover414]

Thanks for the tutorial!! One of the most helpful ones I've found on KZbin for understanding what works and why it works

[@andrewmassie]

I really enjoyed this as a foundation tutorial. I've been playing around with adding background music, different enemy types, and ramping up the difficulty. Thank you so much!

[@KaanAlpar]

Glad to hear that Andrew

[@jpowens2010]

This was fantastic. I learned so many things I've been trying to understand, like how to connect signals up across scripts and spawn projectiles. This has been the best tutorial I've come across yet. Thank you!

[@EvgeniyZabolotniy]

Have not finishing watching this tutorial but can already say Thanks for your work here!

[@evan_dood]

Thank you so much for this! I powered through the basic Godot tutorials on their website last night and completed the "make your first 2D game" part. I messed around a little bit on my own trying to make what you made, I stumbled across this video, and now I've successfully made a side-scrolling version of what you explained! Just swapped the x and y values. Also I'm using Godot 4.2 and the tutorials all still hold up for now!

[@BigAlNaAlba]

Clear and to the point. Well done on such a good tutorial.

[@del669]

Been doing the tutorial so far and I am really happy with your code and clear explanations, fantastic teacher. Subbed!

[@piratejayesh8422]

Amazing video man really appreciate it I made this game 8 times from scratch😢 because of so many bugs and glitches in godot 4 mobile (early access) But I also learned to have backups for game if anything happens from that😅 You explained everything very well I understood everything despite english not being my mother tongue Thank you very much❤❤

[@Theburninbeaver]

If anyone else is getting a parse error for the laser scene when loading the game after closing it, you need to move the preload to var line from the player script to the game script. You'll then need to modify the _on_player_laser_shot func and remove some of the references to the preload var name. That seems to have fixed the scene corruption for me

[@dangputerz]

I wish people would just correct their damn videos.

[@toddlask]

i got your latest 2 full making game vids on my shortlist! im excited!

Enjoy!

Thank you for a very well made tutorial. Here's my quick notes on timestamps: 00:00 Basic setup 12:55 Laser setup 26:34 Creating the enemy scene 36:06 Creating new enemy type and enemy spawning 51:18 Scoring system and UI for it 57:47 Creating UI for scoring system 1:02:41 Creating Game Over screen and Hi-score functionality 1:20:14 Finishing touches - scrolling background and particles and sound effects 1:29:32 particle effects [Note: for Gadot 4.2.2, Emission shape is found under Spawn -> Position] 1:32.09 audio effects

really needs timestamp sections so I can navigate the tutorial timeline

Thanks a lot!

Would be interesting to see all the space-shooters from all the people who followed this one :D

[@amimirmimir512]

4:59 it's good practice if you make the hitbox reasonably small as possible

[@amimirmimir512]

49:13 i was already ahead of you

Pleas make a complete tutorial for using touch screen controls

[@beebstergames7348]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I have a question. I noticed that for the scoring signal you used the same signal name 'killed' for your two different enemy types. Godot 4 does not have an issue with that? It doesn't get confused?

[@spectre.garden]

Thanks, Kaan. Great stuff.

[@KaanAlpar]

You're welcome, glad you liked it

[@speedboi5710]

Thanks for the Great video! Clear and concise, was able to understand Godot concepts better now. I was experimenting and trying out adding things such as an explosion effect after an enemy was hit, tried applying a similar method to how the lasers was added to the game scene with all of the signals and what not, got stuck on an "Invalid set index 'global_position' (on base: 'Callable') with value of type 'Vector2'" error couldn't figure it out until now what I did wrong.

You are the legend!

[@UnstoppableTigra]

good tutorial, one of the best

[@PixPunxel]

Very good tutorial

[@rocketqueen232]

This is great thanks :)

[@isthisthingoH_NO]

trying to make this with only left and right controls and it's showing this error 'No constructor of "Vector2" matches the signature "Vector2(float)".' pls help i couldn't find a relevent soulution online EDIT:fixed the script error by adding 'dummy' controls (added controls with no keybind) but now the player isn't moving, i'm gonna make a post on godot forum about this

[@silenkiss]

thanks you!!! ❤❤❤

[@dzartxstudio]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@justinbenjamins3828]

Hey Kaan. Yet again a superb tut! You're outdoing yourself 😀 Question..anything that is related to actual physics movement should be placed within the callback _physics_process, right? If we are just assigning keyboard input to a Vector2 variable why is the input not placed in the callback _process? Or can this go both ways?

[@KaanAlpar]

Thanks Justin, I assume you are talking about the "direction" Vector2 variable in the player script, right? In that case you are absolutely correct. We can get the input for "direction" in _process and make it a global variable. Then we can use it the same way in _physics_process

[@justinbenjamins3828]

@@KaanAlpar You got it! I still have C# in my head. Trying to implement my C# coding style in gdscript to keep the learning curve to a minimum. It seems to be working, and this thanks to your way of getting across to your subscribers with these tutorials you put out.

For some reason I cant get the Hi-score to work. It's resetting after every game, same as the score. Have checked the code numerous times and seems to be the same? Anyone got any ideas? Hands down one of the easiest to follow, and best explained tutorials on youtube. Thank you!

[@praneetprogamerz6607]

I couldn't understand where you created the signal called laser shot why you put the arguments in that and how does locations is a valid argument if we dont have a var for it i am beginner someone help

[@vickylance]

He created the laser_shot signal in the player script when the user presses spacebar and he listened to that signal in the main game script and spawned the laser with the laser scene and laser position sent from the laser_shot signal from player as arguments.

How can I save the scene on mobile

need help on 24.56 my laser is not coming from the ship but it appear on the right side screen any idea?

[@sniperwolfxx4047]

set the Laser containor position to 0,0

[@sniperwolfxx4047]

or set the parent first then the position

[@dapyr]

@@sniperwolfxx4047 This worked for me (set parent to the container first then the position of the bullet), to fix the position. But then the bullets move with the player, so if I move left, the already shot bullets also move to the left. Making it more of a laser beam if shot constantly. Would you know how to fix that?

[@sniperwolfxx4047]

@@dapyr i dont entirely remember how i fixed it but maybe try removing x velocity

[@dapyr]

@@sniperwolfxx4047 I finally found my error, I accidentally added the container to my player, instead of just adding it into the level. So when moving around, the container would also move and thus the bullets. I guess it's not smart to work on coding at 3am :p Thanks for the reply though!

[@thargelion]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial!. I've made it using C# (translating from your gdscript examples) I would like to release the code to github.I would like to share this tutorial as the source for it. Would it be a problem for you?

[@KaanAlpar]

No feel free to do it

volume is too low

[@byzantiumn8564]

anyone else having issues with score not working in this method?

[@byzantiumn8564]

Not sure why his ran fine but the code needed was adding points into the signal emit which for some reason works despite absence here

"Save your scene" How the fuck do I do that?

[@159w9w9YT]

"ctrl + s" or by right clicking on the scene then clicking "save scene"

[@praneetprogamerz6607]

I think he has quit yt because he hasn't poseted in a year😢

[@justanothernobody7142]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but at the score label part if I type "hud.score = 0" in the game script I get the error "Invalid set index 'score' (on base: 'Control ()') with value of type 'int'. I've watched that part through several times now I I can't find anything wrong. I'm using the latest Godot version. Edit* I found the cause of the error it anyone has this problem. If you add a reference by dragging it in by holding down right mouse and then ctrl you end up with this for example "@onready var score: Label = $Score" instead you need just "@onready var score = $Score".
