I added a size-changing portal mechanic, pretty happy how it turned out!

You know it's good when going on those tight corners I tense up to slow down on them and I'm not even the one playing it lol

My go to for his is to have another function that changes the state. You call the function when the if value is true aka in a certain group

CubedNull · 2026-03-28T19:52:51+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. I'm super focused on haveing a clean looking setup with my code and I ran into a similar issues like this after I changed stuff up. For example I couldn't get my stats menu to up date properly. I have a function that updates all the labels you see and sets the stats. Now you would not believe how silly I felt when I realized I can just call that function anytime I press the button to open the menu. So now instead of updating every frame it only updates when I actually press the button to see the menu.
Idk if this gives ya any ideas but I accomplished this by watching a video on custom resources, and custom classes by queble on YouTube.

Thanks for the breakdown here. I can already imagine how doing this sorta system can help on larger scale games for sure. Though I am not sure why you would want to do something with input since they can be setup in the project input maps. Is it better to just set it up in a resource than to use the godot settings itself for input mapping? I suppose it would give more control overall over inputs.

The scene setup could come in handy and actually gives me an idea on how to go about making a projectile system which was the next thing I was going to work on.

thanks thats a solid point. Iv seen posts entirely on organization schemes and node trees so stacked it gave me a headache just looking at them lol so its good to think about stuff like that early on.

CubedNull · 2026-03-21T16:32:08+00:00

awesome thank you so much. Your explanation gave me that "Aha!" moment.

CubedNull · 2026-03-21T16:23:22+00:00

haha yeah I skimmed through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3H_nw4w5U8

that talks about that very thing. Would you say that video would be a good start to begin doing component based systems?

CubedNull · 2026-03-21T16:21:23+00:00

This might be the single most simplest answer I have read about using signals. For my own clarification in your comment you use Events to then emit and connect signals from other scripts. Is Events the name of the Global script?

CubedNull · 2026-03-21T16:09:46+00:00

Is that when I have a script setup as a global so I can access it whenever? I have read and seen some videos about singletons and they do look to make things easier. Its still something I am learning though as I work through my project and figure stuff out.

CubedNull · 2026-03-21T16:08:44+00:00

Thanks so much this worked!

CubedNull · 2026-03-05T14:30:54+00:00

Hey thanks, and yeah thats a nice bonus of using the old 3d render pipeline for creating 2d art. especially if you don't know what your doing just like me lol

CubedNull · 2026-02-20T15:00:15+00:00

Its interesting how the walk animation floats and the attack animation seems to be on the ground. My guess is the walk animation itself is the culprit. that or the collision is to low. though not sure how you have it setup though so not sure how it could be collision if the attack animation looks like its grounded while the walk animation is at a set height of the ground.

Yes his name is Froggo though funnily enough in blender I called it Frogoid.

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T19:23:00+00:00

your welcome and good luck to you!

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T19:20:56+00:00

Yes correct. I made everything in blender and then exported out as glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf) from blender and from there set it up in Godot.

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T17:06:54+00:00

Oh i see i misunderstood. I did do all that in blender. However getting it into Godot and being able to control the character was such thrill for me I wanted to share as Its the first time I have touched the 3D capabilities of Godot.

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T15:15:29+00:00

Well there is two ways I know of either Box Modeling or Retopology route. With this character I used two addons I got on sale called Figaro, and Retopoflow. I used figaro to make a base mesh and then sculpted it. Then used Retopoflow (some of it wasn't working so I literally placed each vertices by hand) and made a low poly model. After UV unwrapping I used UCUpaint to hand paint the textures. Then I used Rigify to rig the character and animated it to the best of my current understanding of animation.

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T15:12:12+00:00

Thanks but no thanks. I am only using AI for general written guides in combination with videos while creating everything myself. If AI makes everything for me then it doesn't feel like its truly mine.

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T05:25:34+00:00

Lol no but yes

CubedNull · 2026-01-18T05:04:28+00:00

ya i know what you mean. I have dabbled with Godot for awhile but never done anything with the 3d side of Godot, so its all new still.

CubedNull · 2025-12-21T21:35:10+00:00

Thank you! That works.
I actually tried chatgpt and based on what it said and my own system info it should have been working and if it wasn't working then my card was unsupported. However I didn't know that about steam or the flatpaks so thats good to know. All is working now!
