I know I’m a bit behind but a tip for people still watching. When you wanna make a static body out of a mesh you don’t have to do it manually. With the mesh node selected click the “mesh” button at the top center of the viewport and you can “create trimesh static body” and it well generate a collision shape and static body for you automatically

[@gamedev_byhobby8872]

I've seen the whole 4-part series and succesfully implemented all you had to cover on it. It still holds up. After that, I've been porting it to Godot 4, so I'll leave a list of things I had to change for people in the future. 1) Godot supports blend files now so you can skip the export tool and just import the untitled.blend after you setup the root motion 2) export var and onready var are: *@export @onready* now, and you have to put its type at the end: *@export var anim_tree : AnimationTree* 3) I couldn't get this line to work: *export(Nodepath) onready var anim_tree = get_node(anim_tree)*. I just split it in one export var and one onready var 4) Move_and_slide doesn't take any parameters anymore. Just leave it as is but don't define velocity as a new var, use *self.velocity* which is a property of CharacterBody3D 5) KinematicBody3D is now CharacterBody3D 6) The way to travel to animations within the animation tree state machine changed. Now do: *anim_tree.get("parameters/playback).travel("Idle")* instead of *anim_tree["parameters/playback"].travel("Idle") 7) This one: *anim_tree["parameters/Walking/TimeScale/scale"] = direction.length()* should now be: *anim_tree.set("parameters/Walk/Walking/TimeScale/scale", direction.length())* but I'm not entirely sure yet 8) *var space_state = get_world().direct_space_state* changes to *var space_state = get_world_3d().direct_space_state* 9) And intersect_ray doesn't accept to and from parameters, you have to construct a *PhisicsRayQueryParameters3D* object: *var params := PhisicsRayQueryParameters3D.new()* and do, *params.from = start*, ***params.to** = end* (as the variables in the video are calculated). Then you can do: *var collsion = space_state.intersect_ray(parameters)* 10) Also, intersect ray now returns a dictionary so it's not *col.empty()*, it's *col.is_empty()* The rest of the tutorial is the same, except for the fact that you have to add a world environment and a light to even see your scene. If you have anything to add please tell me, I want to learn more about Godot 4

[@Stoonk]

Is Godot 4 worth checking out? I've only hear questionable things about it and that godot 3 is still superior as a practical engine tool

[@wehrwulf88]

now I see the reason why my character was moving upwards instead of forward when I hit spacebar. I had to change a lot of lines because I am making this tutorial in august 2022 and using Godot 3.5 and it seems that there are many changes in the engine since 2020! thank you very much

[@gamedev_byhobby8872]

@@Stoonk It's definitely usable. I recommend to backup your files if you choose to upgrade, and even backup when upgrading from alpha to alpha since some of them can break your code and you mght want to roll back. I think we're close enough to the beta that you could reasonably switch. Even if it's not for your main project, you'll do good to make little ones to learn GDScript 2.0. And most important, learn all the little name changes they made to some functions and nodes.

@@wehrwulf88 Yeah! 3.5 has a lot of back porting from Godot 4.0 so you should have to change a lot about it.

@Forest Kingston So what you're trying to tell me is there a person named "Forrest Kingston" and he is definitely not a bot set up by a scammer. The title is definitely pretty misleading, i only needed the very end and start, but thought there was more in the video I needed to know.

[@Uradamus]

It's great that you've shown a way to get animated characters in quickly and easily, but for those of us with no interest in Mixamo, are there any tutorials you can recommend for doing things the more traditional method? I've got no shortage of existing models and animations to use, and none of the first part of this tutorial is of any use to my situation unfortunately. There is a definite shortage of up-to-date Godot tutorials that thoroughly explain the 3D asset pipeline for artists.

[@erich_l4644]

Update your comment if you find one m8.

[@slimabob]

Thank you for the video! Something strange that I ran into was that my root motion was really slow. If I multiply the final velocity by 20 the character moves at a normal pace, but otherwise my character is very slow. Any idea why that might be? Thank you again for the great tutorial- very useful for someone making the switch from Unity to Godot!

[@billycrooks8401]

Are you doing it in physics_process function?

[@Peas3D]

Did you ever figure this out? I have to multiply the root_motion.origin by 2, but it makes the animation look very jank.

[@Jondob]

woah, i really enjoyed this, loved it. small question, is it possible to, retarget animations, (knowing they use same rig, say humanoids), in godot? trying to get into 3D, and not much of a modeller/animator, so, reusing animations from bought from various asset shops into godot character would be well, simply massive, any ideas on that?, as merging all animations into one file, isn't always an option, especially, when reusing animations for multiple characters

[@Ombarus]

I don't think there is a built-in system for doing retargeting in Godot. There might be alternative solutions in blender or using outside tools but I'm not familiar enough to recommend anything.

[@Jondob]

[@manapotion1594]

Hi, nice series. I have a question: why do you divide by delta and not multiply? Also, it seems like camera on the 3rd part along with input handling player script uses camera position from the previous frame, and because of that the character moves with error over long time. Try to increase its speed to see.

[@Ombarus]

move_and_slide is a bit weird (to me). It will multiply by delta itself so you need to pass the velocity per second. So I divide the root motion because move_and_slide will multiply it again.

[@isaacbunsen5833]

It seems to cause a lot of trouble to adjust the root motion in godot. For example sometimes the character jolts backwards

[@william383]

I have the same problem

[@phantom6653]

Followed your instructions to a T, and I get this "The function 'move_and_slide()' returns a value, but this value is never used". The animation plays, but the player never moves.

Axcellent video! I don't know why, but it took me a long time to discover your youtube channel I would like to ask you a question, I should specify that I am a novice on Godot but that I know Blender well: is that on Godot there is a system which allows to retarget the animations of a character to place them on another model 3D easily and without using Blender? On Unity, for example, there is an automatic retarget system that works extremely well.

[@Ombarus]

I don't think there's a retargetting system in Godot right now. You can export animation ressources and re-use them on similar characters but I don't think it can do retargetting.

there is a problem. gravity is a acceleration. you should multiply it by delta before adding it to speed.

If you read the script you create it says that delta is applied automatically to variables inside the body of the function.

[@darthnegativehunter8659]

@@hogandromgool2062 there was no such thing in the script as far as i looked. what he actually was doing was adding a constant downward velocity to the normal one when character is not on floor. there was no acceleration. he should've multiplied gravity by delta before adding it. he should also use the return value of move and slide. also you don't use root motion with move_and_slide. because acceleration isn't compatible with root motion unless they are in perpendicular directions at ALL times. 1- he should apply root motion directly with move_and_collide. 2- he should store a global velocity. 3- he should multiply delta by gravity before adding it to velocity 4- he might want to assign the return value of move_and_slide back to velocity if he wishes to add other velocities to the game.

Thank you, the method used in the tutorial didnt work for me. Using _anim_tree = $AnimationTree solved it for me.

It's not made to be an absolute beginner series. If you're not familiar with programming or gamedev in general you might want to check out stuff from GDQuest they do a really great job with Godot

AhA! So, on the off chance someone is as stupid as me: When you download the Gadot Game Tools file from viniguerro, LEAVE it in its ZIP form. Don't unzip it. (:

This series has too many problems. Ombarus should provide a troubleshooting list to make it better.
