[@Bravo_0-7]

Yo this is a lot of progress for 6 months, well done! As a godot dev with 2+ years of experience, this is really impressive! there's just one thing i want to point out, if you want projectile-based weapons in your game, you don't have to sacrifice bullet speed. the reason why the bullet's don't properly collide is because they move a certain amount at the end of each frame. at very high speed, this can lead to the bullet just phasing through objects with colliders. This can be mitigated by using a raycast. what you can do is have a variable in the bullet called prev_pos which holds the position the bullet was last in. in the _ready() function, set prev_pos to be the bullet's global position. then, in process or physics_process, you cast a ray to prev_pos using code and check for collision. if there is any collision, then you move the bullet to the collision point and do any bullet collision logic. there's an inherent flaw with this, which is that if the bullet just went through 3 boxes in one frame, it will go to the box nearest to it, i.e. it won't go to the front of the row of boxes. you can mitigate this further by instead casting a ray from prev_pos to the bullet's global position, which should solve the issue. here's a link to a really good youtube tutorial on projectile-based weapons in godot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6WWgH-ZrdF8eK8

[@couscouskingpin7978]

Another rare example of a small channel creating amazing high-quality content. Loved this video from start to finish, keep it coming!

[@BusinessWolf1]

Hey bro, here's a neat little trick for weapon thickness. You model a bullet the gun is chambered in. You can easily find blueprints for bullets. You model a mag for it. You then look up images of that mag with at least 2 bullets in it. You see how much the 2nd bullet sticks out underneath the first one, and then do the same thing using top view. Then you scale the mag to the bullets. And then you adjust the body of the weapon to the mag, and the rest of it to the body. Yes this is highly convoluted and annyoing, but it's something you can do to get a half decent result when you don't have real refference or dimensions.

[@mimadm4832]

Yo man, very nice work. I am also going to start my gaming journey yet again within two weeks once the uni is done for, you got me excited for both me and you

[@MichaelGame_Dev]

Nice work! A tip on 3D physics just in case you want to try having actual bullets again, if you haven't already, consider trying the jolt physics plugin. Very easy to add and then flip the engine over to jolt. It may get the physics based bullets to cooperate if you still have the code.

[@HadrianDev]

[@King-Julien]

For physical projectiles, I've found it works best to do collision not by checking if both physics objects collide, but to do a small hitscan check in the direction of the projectile (you can also implement bullet drop and ricochet based on the returned normal of the hitscan)... I've been working on an engine for my applications and games and you just motivated me a little more to continue!

[@appmeurtre]

Good luck on your journey! Just a disclaimer, learning things take too long and sometimes you can feel like you aren't progressing. It feels like hell and this is normal. Just keep away from burnouts! If you feel like overwhelmed; stop it, do some other stuff, get your energy and motivation up and then proceed. Keep the good work! You can research production pipelines and workflows over internet. It will make your life much easier and give you sense that you are working more efficiently/fast. And please don't forget to organize your staff. Even tho people think solo developers don't need it, especially they are the ones who need it most. You can search project management tools and game design documents for that matter. There are plenty of sources. But don't over due anything. You will have chance to come back and rework that features always!

Hey mate, you've done a great job with this! I love how you've added physics to the bullets and different weight barrels. Also great job on the weapon modelling an animations. I've still yet to try to model or animate weapons. I'm making an FPS game. too but in Unreal and it's funny how I stumbled upon some of the same problems you had like the bullets being too small and to quick to actually register a hit and sometimes not do it. I realized I had to switch to ray casting (hit scan) as well. I learned that sometimes the most realistic way is not the best way for making a game. Games require some tricks to make it more fun and enjoyable experience for people and that sometimes means sacrificing some realisticity. Good luck with your project mate.

barely any games use physics based bullets but they actually use raycasting(hit scanning like you said in your video). they use a bullet trajectory formula to raycast step by step until a raycast hits something. also if the bullet did not hit anything and 5 seconds or more passed since the bullet was shot then the bullet is deleted so the bullet wont keep flying forever and create pointless lag

badass, let me know if you need a gun nerd to help you with dimensions, also i recommend giving the sights more detail than the rest of the gun, even if it is a low poly artstyle, clear sights typically make the guns feel a lot better, and its better to skimp out on the actual gun instead of the sights if that makes sense

[@Heeroneko]

Quads are good for sculpting 3d models, but games render models in tris. So model in quads, then triangulate them w the triangulate modifier before putting them into your game. There are ppl who could explain why really well, but I'm not one of them.

[@Owl90]

quads don't apply to game engines. Everything gets converted into triangles. So by modeling quads instead of triangles directly you're just letting the game engine do whatever conversion it wants, instead of controlling yourself how your quads get split. You could end up with very funky geometry on animations, especially if you're doing low poly.
