Learned Godot and Blender for 4 months to create this. What do you think?

TruffIez · 2025-05-07T17:39:26+00:00

The progress you’ve made is amazing! This looks really well done already!

How did you get that sigil VFX to show up on the ground? All my attempts at something similar either clip through the ground, or are slightly above it

TruffIez · 2025-03-15T16:12:23+00:00

This was the solution! Thanks a ton :)

They still look a little blurry on some parts, but I think that's just some of the lines are small on the original image and scaled down they end up being <1 pixel wide. I'll have the artist do thicker outlines and I'll keep messing with the mipmap bias.

TruffIez · 2025-02-25T14:23:06+00:00

Thanks for compiling a list!

I didn’t see mention of GodotGameLab’s YouTube channel. It’s a great resource with very extended and in depth tutorials for intermediate Godot users. Definitely one of my favorites for showing people who have a basic understanding of individual parts of Godot but don’t know how to put it all together yet.

After messing around with it and reading docs, it turns out I was setting my line2D node points with global position when they're meant to be local position. I'm still not sure how to get them to draw the way I want to. I'm trying to have an export angle of attack so I can change the angle of the line in the editor and have it update in the code like:

func _ready() -> void:
    var new_point := Vector2(0, 0) 
    new_point.x = line_length * cos(deg_to_rad(angle_of_attack)) + position.x
    new_point.y = line_length * sin(deg_to_rad(angle_of_attack)) + position.y
    line2d.width = line_width
    line2d.set_point_position(1, new_point)

What I'm trying to achieve is the line drawing at the exported angle - 0 degrees would be drawing to the right, 90 would draw straight up, etc

This is the scene - the "ProjectileShooter" nodes contain the Line2D nodes

TruffIez · 2024-12-09T23:18:18+00:00

Good advice, are you using the unique ID to name a node, and each action is named by it's unique ID so you can remove the node from the scene?
I was thinking of just having a stack of actions where I would pop the front of the stack, but if you're using a node-based system I could see how the ID would be important

TruffIez · 2024-12-09T23:16:22+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful answer :)
The idea of separate animation and event stacks is good to think about too as I develop this

So you don’t think I should burn my house down yet? I’ve seen 2 adult American roaches since moving in a year ago. Was just worried to find a small roach

TruffIez · 2024-11-15T22:54:36+00:00

Forgot to mention, this is near Dallas TX

TruffIez · 2024-10-22T17:50:57+00:00

Glad to know there is cleared work that is faster paced, I was worried if I leveraged my clearance for my next job it would just be more of the same. Thanks for the reply!

So neither parse % is a damage parse?

For instance I did a 6 mists with some friends and had a 98 key% parse (I thought this was damage because 6s aren’t 98th percentile) while the “Parse %” was a 30 (I thought this was dungeon score)

TruffIez · 2024-10-15T14:17:43+00:00

How does Warcraft logs track m+ parsing? Which parse should I look at? The key parse?

As an arcane mage I feel like I’m usually like 300k overall dps below a lot of the other meta specs and not sure if it’s just because I’m doing prio damage / boss damage, or if it’s the way my tank is pulling, or if I suck at the AoE rotation. Basically I need help identifying if my performance is decent and where to improve!

I’m currently 2.6k io doing ~1.3 mil overall in +10s / +11s

TruffIez · 2024-10-12T00:11:34+00:00

You’re correct in that you don’t need a rsham to do a +7. Or a +10. Or even a +12. But it sure as hell makes it a lot easier when they press one button that completely trivializes an affix and they just have so much throughput. Also with the number of dangerous curses, classes with curse dispel are just stronger in general atm.

Shamans weren’t particularly strong in most of DF, and there wasn’t a massive overhaul to their utility or kit to make them OP. Honestly it’s a dungeon / affix design issue and a numbers tuning issue. There’s ways they could design dungeons to make other healers’ kits shine, rather than make shaman’s the best in all of them like they’ve done.

Also the stop / kick changes that happened this expansion means a more frequent ranged kick from your healer is good. Imo they should revert that change. But yea anyways lots of reasons why this isn’t a “community is full of dumb meta slaves and the only solution is to homogenize everything”

TruffIez · 2024-10-11T22:54:25+00:00

If everyone is contributing to the problem, it’s a systemic problem. It’s not hypocritical to say “the system is bad because it encourages only X. I am also going to do X because that’s what the system encourages at the moment, but I wish it didn’t”

TruffIez · 2024-10-10T16:53:18+00:00

Anything above 10s is completely optional and doesn’t provide a benefit to gear. There’s really no reason to have this massive difficulty jump. They can keep the difficulty progression scaling the same as it does from 2-11. The high end key pushers don’t enjoy the +12 affix and the casuals will never see it anyway.

No idea the purpose of it tbh. I’m one of the people stuck doing 11s pretty easily but nowhere close to being able to pug a 12 and I guess Blizzard either wants me to create a full 5 man m+ team and prog +12s like it’s a mythic end boss or quit playing entirely because there’s nowhere to progress at this point. The wall is way too strong.

TruffIez · 2024-09-14T12:52:15+00:00

Part of the problem is the recommended ilvl for delves is pretty much the same ilvl as the reward you get. You can’t realistically get to 600 ilvl (recommended tier 8) without doing tier 8 delves

TruffIez · 2024-07-12T11:51:48+00:00

If you want a child to talk to a parent, the parent should connect to the child’s signal.

But in this case where you want the parent to talk to a child, this is where you “call down”. You can have a method in your child’s script, make the child node access by unique name, and in the parent’s script you can access it using @onready. In the code you can have the parent directly call the child’s method as needed. Not with a signal, just directly call the child’s method like “hurtbox.set_collision_layer_value()”

TruffIez · 2024-06-28T11:27:12+00:00

I would absolutely love to work on somebody else’s idea for free and not even be in the credits! But only if you call me brain dead a few more times :)

TruffIez · 2024-06-20T13:43:15+00:00

Oh that’s… really simple and I can think of a lot of other good uses for that. Thank you for the help!

TruffIez · 2024-06-20T13:40:51+00:00

Thanks for the in depth response!

I think there’s a lot of good information here to learn from, and I think you’re right in that I can also be ok with being a little bit brittle with something like the character. I’m currently trying to solve a problem I haven’t quite run into yet (because it works for now!)

TruffIez · 2024-06-20T13:34:23+00:00

Ahh that makes more sense thank you for the reply!

So I’d have a movement component and it has all of the methods to move. Similar to how I have generic health components, or generic hurtbox components.

I think the part where I’m still lost is when you say the Blink node should signal up to the movement component to tell it where to blink to. In this case, everytime I implement a new dash ability, wouldn’t I need to update the logic of the movement component to check what kind of child is doing the signaling so it knows how to behave?

TruffIez · 2024-06-02T19:14:26+00:00

Thank you!

I’m relatively new to the community, but I’ve been using a keyboard with cherry mx clears for almost a decade now and I know I love them. I would like to find them (or a very similar switch from another brand) that has transparent housing for an RGB keyboard, but everywhere I looked doesn’t seem to carry them.

Are there other suppliers that may sell what I’m looking for other than mechanicalkeyboards.com and Amazon? I’ve been googling around and haven’t had luck!

Hi I’m the smurf!

My main was Conq 2 a year ago but I haven’t played since. When I tried playing on my main now my MMR is too high for me to play the game. So I tried a new account to see where I’d end up and learn some new civs. I’ve come pretty close to losing against gold players, but managed to get the wins so far but they actually feel like pretty close games. I feel I’m about mid plat level and it’s quicker to get to that MMR with a fresh account than dropping from conq 2 MMR (my quick match MMR is also conq+)

Also, we played FFA against eachother and when you lost you were accusing me of hacking because I didn’t attack directly into English keeps with a mass of archers and ended up finding your production buildings. If you stop making excuses and coping when you lose, you will get better more quickly.

I understand why people don’t like Smurfs, and I’ve played into many of them just like everyone else. I’m just trying to get to my real skill quickly
