How to make FIRST PERSON GAMES in Gdevelop | Part 1

[@Vazz]

Curious if you have figured out how to do wandering 2d enemy animations yet(where the animation changes based on which way the enemy is facing). Pandako has a video on how to do it with his threejs mod but I've been trying to figure out how to do it with just the basic gdevelop 3d. It didn't seem possible until recently with the latest big update because now there is the 3d sprite extension so that we can have 3d animated sprites. Anyhoo, if you figured it out, I look forward to whenever you get to that part of the tutorials. Keep up the good work. 👍

I have! It's coming in today's livestream and will be in this series in a few episodes. With the new Sprite 3D, and the lack of 3D viewport. The easiest way is to treat the object like a 2D top down. When it moves on the 2D X/Y, i basically set a circle and divide it into the 4 or 8 directions, if the object moves in that direction- change the sprite.

Hi Alex, we exchanged messages on the official GDevelop server. I wanted to say thank you for directing me to your content. I'll be following along with this series!

I appreciate you and am thankful you are joining the community! We have such an awesome group of folks in our discord as well. If you have any questions, youtube or discord is the absolute best place to reach me. Asking questions on youtube helps everyone!

@@LevelUpWithAlex I’ll join the Discord, I’m also watching your live stream “Level up your game jams with GDevelop!”

I’m not a total noob at visual coding, but I think that this video will help a lot.

Hey Alex, I have tried to find the noted extensions in Discord but had no luck. Are they still available or replaced by an equivalent built in now?

[@LevelUpWithAlex]

Which extensions are you referring to? Many changes have happened recently with Gdevelop and some things are now integrated- and others have been compressed into a single action (like variable calls)

[@b.rangerreaper907]

​@LevelUpWithAlex I believe he's referring to the extensions you downloaded at 3:35 with the shadows and spotlight extensions and such. I looked for these extensions and can't find them, so not sure if i can just ignore that part of the video because it's no longer relevant or look for the extensions elsewhere?

[@LevelUpWithAlex]

Oh! These extensions are part of another creators 3D light extensions. They are available to download on the Gdevelop discord or through github. I'll put the link in the video description

Can you make chess game in Gdevelop?

[@LevelUpWithAlex]

I will put that one my to do list

[@KW1ls0n]

my children wont let me select or show as strings

[@LevelUpWithAlex]

Variables have since changed in Gdevelop. All variables are made using a single variable action type. Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly what you are saying. Children variables work exactly like all others
