One super helpful thing you didn't mention in the Docs section is that when you want to look up a built-in method (or parameter, or anything really), you can just hold ctrl in the editor and anything that is built-in to Godot will become underlined and clickable, taking you directly to that portion of the documentation.
Static typing for the win! I’ve been coding for a very long time and remember when variant type started becoming popular in C#, but my argument was why would you ever want to recast a variable to another type. You use the type for a reason. It offers certain predicable behaviour. Changing type mid stream or accepting anything was always a ridiculous notion to me.
And first point is golden too. Code is read more than it is written. I.e you write it once, but it is read soo much more. When you are debugging or come back to it in the distant future, you want it to be as clear and concise as possible, not trying to interrupt what you were thinking oh so long ago.
The 'duplicate as unique' definitely hit home for me. I spent a good couple of hours last week scratching my head trying to understand why some "old nodes" where just spontaneously "deciding to stop working". Congrats on another great video, man!
2:23 Just hold Ctrl and click the name of the function, it will open a Help page for this function directly in Godot. This does not work for shaders unfortunately.
An important thing to add, that I included in my last video, is simply giving yourself the time and the opportunity to learn something new and challenging. You won't learn it overnight, so don't try to, and don't think you have to.
Hello! I just started game development about a month ago. The actual coding is easy enough (I'm a professional software engineer), but learning the tricks of Godot has definitely been the challenge like you said. But I'm having fun! I'm finishing up a game jam project right now 😊
that is amazing to hear!! goodjob!! i’d love to play your project once it’s finished if you link it to me!! goodluck in your godot journey!! i’m here for you if you need any help with the engine!! i’m sure you’ve got the gdscript coding down by now though lol
HELLO! I am an old C++ monkey. That is what I learned programming in college on so the static type thing is completely my jam. Know what data types are flying around so you know what to expect. I would also say to new devs; Have some fun. Game development should be fun. If you are not having a good time it is likely that will come through in the game. Lastly I live by the idea that life is about solving problems, and understanding that the solutions you create will create more problems. So find a way to solve problems that creates problems you either like to solve or know how... I know its a little circular.
FYI there's a mono version of Godot that allows scripts to be written in C#, with proper static typing, as opposed to GDScripts' type hints (which is what they are, since GDScript is a fork of Python).
@@MaxIzrin Thanks friend. I used C# when I did Unity stuff. I like to stick with GD script as it is closer to what I do on the daily being a python dev.
Hi there, thanks for the tips! I've been using Godot for like a year now and am still learning new things every time! Like that make duplicated nodes independent thing was so frustrating to deal with and didn't know how to
I hadn't done any coding for 20 years, used godot for the first time and finished a game jam 2 weeks later. I would not have been able to do it if it wasn't for the incredible documentation and great tutorials (such as your own) tysm
I am developing games in Unity and today, I have published my third video game. I discovered game development back in 2017 and I have been using Unity since 2019. I haven't used Godot before, but I will stick with Unity since I am used to it for a longer time.
Ideally, you don't want to learn something wrong as it can take you a lot more effort to unlearn it. On that note, the example at 3:00 is not exactly static typing but type hinting. They achieve somewhat similar results in this particular context but are not the same thing at all.
Perfectly timed video. I was about to throw myself into another tutorial but I’ll make use of the documentation. I’m used to basic HTML code but I’m really excited to make, fix, break again and understand better 😅. Thanks for the advice 🙏
Thanks for this video! I’m a new aspiring game dev and it’s quite overwhelming . I’ll keep chipping away at it. I know in time things will make more sense and be less foreign
How about visual scripting? There's an addon called Orchestrator that makes use of visual scripting in Godot 4.x. I know visual scripting is like coding, but you actually see the nodes and lines that connects to one another instead of seeing 200 lines of code. Easier for the eyes as a beginner, a big reason why most beginner game devs love blueprints in Unreal Engine. Anyway, awesome video and I appreciate the tips!
I love your stuff. Keep it up. I will one day come back to your comment section asking some inane question regarding godot as i go further into learning it. Maybe even ask for a tutorial video about that topic.
as someone who is getting into this stuff with very little experience, i'm totally gonna subscribe and keep an eye on your videos. You got some good info
4:10 I suggest using "owner" instead, since it doesn't depend on the component being a direct child. I really recommend you looking into this. Just note that you must set the owner yourself if you are creating a scene/node in code. Inside the editor, the owner is always the root of the scene (so when instancing an enemy inside of an ingame scene for example, the HP bars owner is still the enemy)
I started to learn Game dev with Godot recently. These are my thoughts: 1. It is a LOT of fun 2. It can be very frustrating to just search for one simple mistake or oversight 3. Tutorials like yours are pretty helpful and surprisingly better than some paid courses 4. German is my native language. There arent many tutorials for Godot in german. 5. There are many ways to solve problems or to realise ideas 6. I forget many things I just did 2-3 days ago 7. 2D seems easier than 3D 8. I still struggle to understand obligatory features like signals, nodes, parent / child, static variables, return etc. 9. Green worms are best worms 10. Bacon
Since I started static typing, I've preferred it much more over variant typing. It's also faster to run the code in general, so it's beneficial to type that way.
next to the readable functions thing, make sure to COMMENT your code!!! i love going back to old code and having it full of comments explaining exactly what something does in regards to everything else on top of the code itself
Thanks for this video! I am new to Godot and am making some videos on the projects I make as I learn the engine and better coding practices. This video is very helpful, and I have learned some of these things the hard way already... 🤣
ah learning the hard way is always so annoying but it also opens your brain to kinda think outside the box when something happens in the future! I would love to check out your projects!
i had some experience in unity, but that was from a few years ago and now i'm getting back into trying to make a game, but i'm wondering if i should give godot a shot. i liked this video, i really got the feeling you were sharing things you found important!
i recommend you give it a shot for a couple weeks and just see how you like it!! thank you!! it means the world!! i wish you the best!! and if you decide to get started in godot then i’m here for you!! if you ever need anything just drop a comment and i’ll be sure to help you out!! i’m rooting for you!
I think I had started right when Godot 3 came out!! Because it was the BIG thing going around at the time I decided to try it out lol.. thank you!! it means the world!!
Hi DevWorm! First of all, as always, love your videos 💗 I was wondering if you could talk about how to use some kind of grid to position stuff, for example how to allow the player to decorate a room with furniture from a catalog. I have no clue how to do that and I would love to try it
Hi, I am two weeks into learning godot 4 and was wondering if a texturebutton could remain its texture to pressed after pressing it and when changing scenes it would still stay pressed instead of changing back to texture normal. Question aside, these tips are really useful and helpful for beginners like me, cant wait to dive deeper into game development ❤
I'm going to be starting "learning" Godot with my new game here soon. While primarily 2d, it's going to utilize 3d eventually. Most of the stuff you have on your channel is 2d. Anyhoo, good tips.
Goodluck with Godot!! I know you will have an amazing time within the engine!! Remember if you ever need help just drop a comment and I would love to help you out!
When coding, I prefer static typing. I am assuming it is computationally faster, and it keeps you from making certain mistakes. One thing that annoys me is finding resources that I can use in my game. I can make some resources like 3D models and shaders, but textures, fonts, etc require a freakin license. It is very time consuming finding content that has a free to use license, and that fits your game properly. It is quite difficult and I'd rather have other people who can make such assets. But that is very costly, especially when you are just learning. If you plan on sharing your game, you have to make sure the license allows it, ontop of keeping track of which license applies to what resources. I've been keeping track in a text file, but it gets very time consuming. If you make a change, again you have to go back and make adjustments to your licensing notes. Some game engines, such as RPG Maker, makes this much easier; because you can buy asset packs that has a license for that engine, which includes your graphics, sounds, etc..
My question is why do Signals feel so finicky. I feel like sometimes they work and others they do not. Multiple times I have had to close and re-open the engine, then it works am I simply doing it wrong? Am I the only one?...
Signals may stop working if you move the receiving or sending node or rename the signal function. In that case you should disconnect your signal and reattach it. In the signal dialogue you can also rename the generated method or put in an existing one to link it. I hope it helps. EDIT: Also try using the debugger, it helps if you want to find out if a method is called in the first place.
hi! im commenting on this because its your most recent video, but i come from your wall jumping and wall slide tutorial! amazing btw, it's been such a great help in my beginning journey as a godot developer! i'm having an issue though, when i first tried your code, i didn't like the fact that the player had the ability to wall jump multiple times on the same wall. so, to try and fix this i implemented code that used rays to check which wall the player was last on and setting if they can jump on the wall to true or blah blah blah, so that they could wall jump between two DIFFerent walls. however, the player is able to exploit this code because they can wall jump on a wall, quickly turn to the other direction, and then quickly turn back to the previous wall and this resets their wall jump, thus letting them jump infinite amount of times on the same wall. is there any way you could try and help me fix this issue? i'm not sure what to do whatsoever, i've thought about adding some kind of cooldown to the wall jump, but i'd rather not because that could stop the player from jumping from two different walls quickly. anyways, your videos have been such a great help to me overall and this is just a tiny issue i have! thank you!!
First off, +1 sub, also, there's one specific type of character that I can't figure out how to make. A ragdoll player character. Not a ragdoll to be interacted with, having the character be a ragdoll, like in Stick Fight The Game. I really want to make a 2D character like that for a game project i've been working on. So if you could help with that, that'd be sick.
Thanks for the tips! I have a question. How did you change to lightmode/theme in godot docs? I have darkmode and would switch, but I can't find the option.
i’m actually unsure about that!! i’d have to open godot to look around for the option!! when i make it back to the computer i will be sure to do so and will get back to you!
You're the right person that can clear my doubt 🙂 I want to get into game development, mostly want to develop for mobile. Fascinated by games like Farmville, Township, Hill climb and more. Also games like subway surfers. I have not started game dev yet, should I start with Godot or Unity. I wanna know can Godot make games stated above. I have been following many devs out there, watching devlogs, but don't see much mobile games being developed using Godot 😢
oh Godot is more than perfect for the games you stated for sure!! I actually use to play township, and hill climb all the time!! I only really recommend unity if you are getting into a complex 3d game. but anything mobile or 2d i for sure recommend Godot!! and if you ever need anything you can reach out to me!! i’m here for you!! goodluck!!
My Godot journey is on hiatus now. I got frustrated when a scene I was working on did not process ysort properly. No matter what I did, the character would never move behind the object as was intended. It was so bad I joined a Discord server of Godot helpers and they instructed me to upload my project. When I did, they took a look at it and said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the scene, but when they redid the scene from scratch, THE SAME WAY I DID, it worked. I had spent two full days trying to make the scene work. In addition to this, AnimationTree is BAD and really buggy, and would have required me to completely rewrite my main character finite state machine. It started to look like the engine is just not good enough yet. So I quit, for now. But I'll be back at some point, maybe version 5.
Thanks for all the tips. I see the birds approaching the player, how is that done? I tried something similar, but instead of approaching the player, they teleport to the player instantly. Do you have a video that explains this?
Hello I could use some help. I just started learning Godot and making a 2D game. I am trying to make it so that when my player died their character rotates backwards (like they slipped and fell) but not matter what I try it just snaps to the new rotation.
If in order to get collisions working we need both nodes to be CharacterBody2D, how can I handle enemy's damage when touching it if I can't touch the object because of the CollisionShape?
I’m new to godot development but I’m confused by your post. I’ve been able to apply collisions using different nodes. Are you familiar with the physics layering options in the settings? You can place different nodes on different layers and have them scan for specific layers. I.e put player on player layer and enemy on enemy layer. Set the two to scan “mask setting” the other layer.
Hello everyone i have some questions about the engine how can i add encryption for my assets? I'm planning to practice for mobile games not PCs games! 😅
I think chatgpt shouldn't be outright dismissed. Some people have access to mentorship to answer questions. I'm too shy for that and appreciate being able to grill gpt how and why things are built a certain way, while speaking in the context of the project I'm working on. Sometimes taking snippets of code is fine, but most the time you'll remake it to make it fit anyways (or worse, debug it).
I have copied the video step by step. My key mappings are set perfectly, my script is typed exactly like his. Yet when I press up my character moves to the side.
One super helpful thing you didn't mention in the Docs section is that when you want to look up a built-in method (or parameter, or anything really), you can just hold ctrl in the editor and anything that is built-in to Godot will become underlined and clickable, taking you directly to that portion of the documentation.
that is a very nice shortcut that I completely forgot to mention!! thanks for pointing that out! Im sure someone will find this comment very helpful!

Is there a go-to place for tutoring? I've tried a few different Discord servers, but no dice. Some of these websites look sketchy...
Thanks the tor tips
thank you! i hope they helped!
My Godot journey is on hiatus now. I got frustrated when a scene I was working on did not process ysort properly. No matter what I did, the character would never move behind the object as was intended. It was so bad I joined a Discord server of Godot helpers and they instructed me to upload my project. When I did, they took a look at it and said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the scene, but when they redid the scene from scratch, THE SAME WAY I DID, it worked. I had spent two full days trying to make the scene work. In addition to this, AnimationTree is BAD and really buggy, and would have required me to completely rewrite my main character finite state machine. It started to look like the engine is just not good enough yet. So I quit, for now. But I'll be back at some point, maybe version 5.
That issue you are describing seems to be fixed with version 4.3
Thanks for all the tips. I see the birds approaching the player, how is that done? I tried something similar, but instead of approaching the player, they teleport to the player instantly. Do you have a video that explains this?
i actually do!! it is within the hacknslash series playlist on the channel!! I believe the video is called how to create flying enemies in godot 4!!
pls can you do an attack combo smoothness
ill look into it now!!
@@dev-worm thanks a Lot!
Hello I could use some help. I just started learning Godot and making a 2D game. I am trying to make it so that when my player died their character rotates backwards (like they slipped and fell) but not matter what I try it just snaps to the new rotation.
did you try creating a rotation animation in an animation player?
@@dev-worm no I didn't think about that. Thanks
If in order to get collisions working we need both nodes to be CharacterBody2D, how can I handle enemy's damage when touching it if I can't touch the object because of the CollisionShape?
I’m new to godot development but I’m confused by your post. I’ve been able to apply collisions using different nodes. Are you familiar with the physics layering options in the settings? You can place different nodes on different layers and have them scan for specific layers. I.e put player on player layer and enemy on enemy layer. Set the two to scan “mask setting” the other layer.
Thanks
Hello everyone i have some questions about the engine how can i add encryption for my assets? I'm planning to practice for mobile games not PCs games! 😅
Thank you mate
of course!! thank you!
Thanks for the tips DevWorm u got a subscriber. 🙂🙌
thank you so much!! it means the world!!
Next thing: state machines. You'll always end up making one.
that is so true!
5 years... 2015! ... 2019?

PLEASE
CAN YOU MAKE A SERIE OF MAKING A GAME ON GODOT VERSION 4.2.2 PLEASE
i will look into creating it! thanks for letting me know!!
wish I had a girlfriend T_T
Why do people pronounce it in such a weird way? It's disturbing to listen to it 😂 It's called "go dot".

Chatgpt 4o is very powerful though
I think chatgpt shouldn't be outright dismissed. Some people have access to mentorship to answer questions. I'm too shy for that and appreciate being able to grill gpt how and why things are built a certain way, while speaking in the context of the project I'm working on. Sometimes taking snippets of code is fine, but most the time you'll remake it to make it fit anyways (or worse, debug it).

nice clickbait m8
I have copied the video step by step. My key mappings are set perfectly, my script is typed exactly like his. Yet when I press up my character moves to the side.

i’ll look into it right now!! thanks for letting me know!!
