[@El_Loogy]

40:35 Pro Tip: You can add scenes in the tile set, making it possible to place the coins on the tile map while still behaving normally as they should, besides it doesn't show up in the tree making it overall less cluttered. It's easy to do, just look around a bit in the tileset tab and try to drag a scene inside of it, you then place it like a normal tile

[@iron4522]

I've been trying to do this but my coin script gets left with "'attempt to call function 'add_point' in base 'null instance' on a null instance" so I'm guessing theres some pathing involved that changes when you move the coin scene into the tileset

[@GoldenD60]

22:00 *HUGE TIP HERE* : To prevent issues occurring when placing your points, on the left under "painting" click on the little grey magnet icon and select "Grid Snap" and set the number next to the magnet icon from 4 to 16. It will snap your points to the tile making sure that no problems will occur with collisions. For more precise grid snapping, select "Half-pixel", where it snaps to every half a pixel.

[@samsilva6602]

I'm graduated in Game Development, working as a Software Developer nowadays. During college, we mostly used Unity and I don't have to tell you how much I was grateful for your channel and contents. God, you helped me a lot. After school, I tried to learn UE5 but dropped it, it is too much to handle, too much for a single developer that has to do all by himself. 3 weeks ago I decided to get back to game development and learn Godot, and now YOU ARE BACK , MASTER! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm really happy!

ADVICE FOR BRAND NEW DEVELOPERS: step 1. follow a few tutorials like this. step 2. think of a very simple game idea. step 3. try to make that game with the knowledge you have. step 4. when you inevitably run into a feature you don't know how to add to your game, watch a tutorial on that thing specifically. step 5. make multiple small projects using less tutorials and start to rely more on the documentation until you become more independent. step 6. you are now fluent in game development. good job!

[@Rikaisan]

Complimenting step 4: If you can't find a tutorial on that thing, divide it into smaller problems and look for those instead. So instead of "How to make a magic bag" you maybe can think of it as an inventory, so "how to make an inventory" and if you still can't find that, divide it into even smaller problems until you get to the basics of whatever you want to make: - How to make a UI - How to toggle a UI / a scene - How to disable inputs while in a UI - How to make draggable items - How to store data in an object - Etc, etc, etc...

[@digital_down]

And don’t ask chatgpt, cause the latest model only knows godot 3.5. I learned that the hard way.

[@k-vandan4289]

[@zuzudev]

And also have fun! Don't stress too much. In the case of game development the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" really applies. Your game may not look the way you want it to at the moment, but by the end of next week, who knows 🤷‍♂

[@iosgamertool8741]

+rep I learnt coding that way for my roblox games works 10/10 Lets see if I can do it for godot

[@El_Loogy]

1:02:48 Pro Tip 2: You can just create a script named "Game Manager" and inside project setting go into the "Autoload" tab and add your game manager script, that way it will always be there, so if you have multiple levels you don't have to put a "Game Manager" node in each of them, it even enables you to make the variables inside the scripts to be global and accessible from every other scripts. This makes everyhting much simpler and allows you to directly call the function "add_point" from the coin script. Just remember to reset the points counter whenever you reload the scene or else coins will keep adding up.

[@chr0n4s25]

How you do it with the label? I cant get it to work with your method. But I like your method

[@chr0n4s25]

Nvm i used signals and that works great

[@Lucky_Drive]

Yep, he said that at the end of the video.

[@rorrust2110]

or instead of just the script, you can use a node with the script instead, that way you can cycle through different background music by placing the audio inside of the node.

[@omartanah5854]

Thank you! this works really well. To reset point counter you can make a new function similar to the add_point in the GameManager like this: func reset_point(): score = 0 print(score) then in killzone script in the on_timer_timeout signal you can call the function like this : GameManager.reset_point() I hope this helps anyone reading!

[@vanlichtinstein]

Bro, I wrote godot off as a beginner's baby engine, like roblox, and never looked into it. I'm blown away by the functionality. The fact that you can incorporate singletons without code, a full audio mixer, and the ability to call functions from animation keyframes without using waits and coroutines is mind boggling. The language also looks heavily based on python which is my specialty. I'm definitely looking more into this engine after having watched this video

[@Flizz8]

To all future Brackeys student in Godot. you have met the best teacher in this field, enjoy.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Man, you do not mess around! I have been trying to get to grips with Godot (and game dev in general) for the past few months and while I've definitely learned a lot on my own, there are some features such as the sprite animation and sound editor that I didn't fully understand but you gave very clear and practical examples of how and when you would use these features, they've gone from something I fear to features that I want to use right now! I think I speak for a lot of people in the comments when I say thank you!

There's a pipette tool for painting the physics on the tiles. For painting the physics on the bridge, you can paint the middle bridge first. Then you can paint the left without moving the connecting edge. Then you can use the pipette tool (next to the 'paint' button) to reselect the middle bridge so that you can have the correct position for the right bridges' connecting edge.

[@fy8798]

You can also simply flip the physics, in this case, there's an option to mirror them horizontally or vertically. very common use case for tiles.

Thank you for keeping this short and sweet, perfect for an introduction into Godot! Can't wait for more videos!

[@panampace]

Helpful tip for anyone coming from Unity: if you ever wonder why you can’t attach multiple scripts to a Node, it’s because in Godot, the script actually IS the Node. All Nodes are classes, and attaching a script means extending its class. Godot doesn’t have GameObjects and Components like Unity does, but you can consider a Node’s children Nodes to be its components. So you can give a Node a component script in 2 ways: - Give the Node a child Node, and attach script to it - Instantiate a script as an object inside the Node’s main script

[@Cezkarma]

This is great advice! I actually tried Godot a few months back and one of my biggest gripes was the inability to add more than one script per game object. The solutions you suggested here are great workarounds.

[@danielpaulo2119]

OR use Resources in a export variable, but that's a little more advanced.

[@touringrc5007]

This system is like Unreal Engine and Unity mixed together.

[@MisterBerdill]

Yes, Godot's way means a much more exposed and visible scene tree compared to tons of components on one object in unity. Don't worry, if it's ugly or you have reusable node structures, just right-click -> save as scene!

For those reading in the future: Godot's May 1st 2024 devlog states that they are going to change how tilemaps work, they are going to expose each tile layer as a new node The overall workflow is going to be the same, it only changes how you reach each layer to be more in line with godot's node approach Godot 4.3 should launch soon with this change

[@GrumpyStoic]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@Atropos148]

So in this case the background tiles and the platform tiles would be 2 separate TileLayer nodes? I read the explanation on Godot site, but still unsure how it will work :) I guess that means every TileLayer will have it's own Physics Layers

But it is useless as no c# 😢😢😢

[@simba---]

@@blo0m1985 Bro, i don't know if you are trolling or not since I see your same comment everywhere. This is not Unity, so no C#. You can use C# in Godot but it has limitations. If you want to use Godot with it's full potential you need to use GDScript. Your comment is like saying "useless bcz no C#" when you use Unreal Engine. It just makes no sense. I guess you are a beginner and scared to learn new things. I just want to tell you that you will never be using only one technology if you work as a programmer (if you even want to be a programmer, maybe gamedev is just your hobby idk, i just want to help you). For example, if you work as web dev you will never use only React and Firebase, you will SQL, Mongo db, Flask, Clerk, Stripe, bunch of different APIs that you have never seen before and bunch of other new tech that you have never seen before, so you will need to read the docs and learn by yourself. Limiting to only one technology is nearly impossible in real life bcz it almost impossible to make everything with only one technology. GDscript is much much better than C#, it's litteraly the same as python.

Chapeu! This is absolutely top notch quality and probably the very best (free) Godot tutorial out there. Every single click is explained, no magical background things which are not being mentioned because the creator doesn't undestand them himself, perfect order of events. This is just awesome! Thanks!

[@PuraTvOyun]

I don't know what to feel right now. I'm a hardcore Unreal Developer but back when I was studying game design in university I learned how to make games with unity with you. I even used your videos to implement some gamplay mechanics in Unreal Engine. I'm really happy that game development community got you back. And I'm glad you decided to go with Godot. I believe in the goal of Godot. And your videos will help them a lot. (Don't underestimate your impact 😅) With you I will give a second chance to Godot with a hobby project. I used it at least 4 years ago back when they first share their 3D demo project during global game jam that our department hosted.

[@kerhabplays]

pretty cool! keep going dude!

[@ghjuyt101]

I have made a full game (minus assets) in 3 weeks that i had issue after issue with in unreal for almost 12 weeks. As long as your programing is good it is genuinely alot smoother.

[@PuraTvOyun]

@@ghjuyt101 Yeah I don't struggle that much. I directly plan out my systems c++ and blueprints in mind. Good understanding of C++ and how to debug it is what helps you have a smoother experience. Because most of the time the problem caused by a pointer. Blueprints are also in pair with C++ api and they are designed OOP in mind. a good understanding of those concepts wil also help the beginners.

[@ghjuyt101]

@@PuraTvOyun my ossue has primarily come from unreal not being true to code and having stange conventions that are not always well documented

[@PuraTvOyun]

@@ghjuyt101 I get you. Unreal Engine's C++ is not a pure c++. The intentions and what they did becomes clearer once you learn the design patterns, software development conventions and taking a deeep dive into source code. Most of the documentation you need is in the source code since they use the same api as you do from the almost int WinMain() to the BeginPlay() of your actor.

[@ensick]

just finished the tutorial and im loving the engine! Im suprised with how intuitive the engine and coding language are, I feel like I've got a decent grasp of the basics now which i can't usually say after other tutorials. It was great and easy to follow, and it was awesome being able to put my own spin on stuff like level design and animations without feeling like im making a mistake. Im really excited to see what you'll put out next relating to Godot

[@GoldenEdits656]

Yes! I've decided to switch from unity to godot b/c of the unity stuff awile ago, and you making videos on godot will help me tremendously!

[@ghjuyt101]

I originally went to unreal and recently moved to godot mid project, almost done with the programing 3 weeks later

[@VanityNotFound]

right when i get into godot the king comes back. i really hope he doesnt just make a few videos and turns this into a regular thing to help us learn alongside with him. Hopefully there will be some C# stuff too

[@tahmidzishan]

Thanks, man. I followed all the way. And welcome back. You're the GOAT!

[@LoganAtor2206]

I used to watch your videos on unity because I wanted to make games, but I never really got the hang of this. I'm really excited to try out Godot because it looks like something I could get the hang of. Glad to have you back Brackeys!

For those who might not know, apps that can run from the exe without needing some kind of install wizard to unpack are called 'Single Level Installs', they are a beautiful thing

This is a great beginner tutorial at a great pace. I'm coming from unity and this really put me on track to understand how Godot works and the differences/similarities while making something quick and fun. Thank you so much and welcome back!

[@dondernerd]

Such a high quality video. Been making games in Unity for roughly 10 years or something and have always had my eyes open for other interesting engines. This might actually make me make something in Godot. Absolutely lovely video!

[@King_H]

The beginning of a new era

[@MattLockie]

Welcome back! I'm only halfway through but kind of love that there's no comparison to Unity features mentioned. I wait for you to say "...like a Prefab in Unity" but it's just not mentioned - it's great! It feels like a standalone Godot tutorial without any knowledge required or referenced from other experiences on other engines. So good! Thank you :)

[@nrg753]

I really like the little bit of humour you put in to this, it really adds personality to a tutorial and keeps things interesting! Well done 👌

[@TimothyParez]

I don't know where to start. First of all you are such a talented teacher. Second, this has go to be, the best, most fluent, introduction to Godot ever. In over just one hour you walk us through a process which other creators drag out over 10 or more episodes. This introduction is so damn good it should, maybe not right now, but eventually, become part of the Godot project and made accessible for the millions of people who don't have access to KZbin. It's so good, to have you back!

[@usernameadamgames]

[@littlephoenix]

Years ago when I started learning game development, I wanted to start with Godot because my computer was old and could run Godot more smoothly. However, I struggled a lot due to the lack of Godot tutorials and switched to learning Unity. Beginners these days are so lucky because there are now Brackeys Godot tutorials.

[@ProtonicStudios]

I started programming with your Unity tutorials years ago when I still was a kid, and now I'm making a tabletop game for a community in Godot. I'm looking forward to keep learning with your amazing videos. Thanks for what you do, as always!

Dude. This is the start I needed. This was a fantastic explanation of how things work in Godot. I found myself going further and adding in extra things, just by tweaking t he things you taught! Super excited to get out there and make some games!

[@1000_Gibibit]

That was fun. I've been doing some godot here and there but it's always informative to see someone go through a small project from start to finish.

[@ymi_yugy3133]

Awesome tutorial. Here a few tips to ehance the UX a little. 1. In the project settings make sure your physics fps matches your refresh rate. Otherwise there will be jitter. 2. Allow the player to make a jump even shortly after falling down. (50ms felt good to me). I accomplished this by adding a timer on the player and restart it every physics tick, if the player is on the ground. Then allow jumping by allowing the jump if timer.time_left > 0, even if the player isn't on the ground.

[@onurkorkmaz22]

I've got a high refresh rate monitor and I was thinking about why was my character jittering, I wasted 10 to 15 minutes until I noticed it was because of my monitors refresh rate but I never found a fix except capping the fps at 60. Seeing your first tip fixed it and gave me a knowledge that I needed and I will never forget. Thanks!

[@GrumpyStoic]

@@onurkorkmaz22 Just to clarify, is this "Physics ticks per second"? (From looking at the Godot documention I get the feeling they renamed it from "Physics FPS".

[@GrumpyStoic]

Hey are you able to provide a little more info on the jump timer? I've had a stab at it but am puzzled how to achieve this so far. What's confusing me is I'm printing the timer and it is either or zero (when reset). I'm expecting it to tick up at least whilst I'm in the air. I tried setting the player way high in the air to see if that made a difference, but the timer still started at . I may simply need to read up on Timers tbh. Edit: Even now I just read the hover-text for Wait Time and it blew my mind, so I think what you're proposing is probably a few steps away from what I can achieve as a beginner.

[@Gatrehs]

@@GrumpyStoic You can achieve it as a beginner easily. Add a timer node to the player called Timer, Make sure it's a 1 shot and 0.05 seconds. (50 ms) In the _physics_process function you modify your if is_on_floor() statement like this: if is_on_floor(): $Timer.start() if direction == 0: animated_sprite.play("idle") else: animated_sprite.play("run") else: animated_sprite.play("jump") Last thing you need to change is in if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor(): You need to change it to if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and not $Timer.is_stopped(): That means you'll be able to jump as long as the timer is running instead of as long as you're on the floor. You can probably use a variable and call it something like jump_timer instead of directly referencing the timer if you prefer that but I wanted to make the comment as short as possible haha. Edit: I suppose you technically could spam the jump twice with this functionality within those 50ms, but you can just stop the timer using $Timer.stop() when you do the jump as well.

[@onurkorkmaz22]

@@GrumpyStoic Yes, they've renamed it.
