10 Godot Engine Mistakes You Might Make (Godot 4 / Godot 3) 

i only use await for Loading gamefiles and it works pretty fine i have more than 90 3D scenes instances then loads into the game but when i tried to load them at the same time it crashed and almost really burned my GPU to prevent this i added await 0.5s timer for each load and now it doesnt crash like come on loading almost a 32km by 30km world in 3d with almost Godot 4 looking graphics on godot 3 is already hard by its own

Sounds great! :) Let's talk on discord?

@@PlayWithFurcifer Sure! I'll email you my Discord ID through your RU-vid email.

Now that you mention it, that is really weird. I got used to that by now

@@PlayWithFurcifer I didn't think I had but then tried to learn a little GDnative C++ and bugged up the other way around because C++ doesn't pass them as references unless u tell it to.

Ah didn't realize that C++ doesn't pass as reference, huh

@@sheepcommander_ moving from gdscript to c++ is an experience.

Just started using Godot and this little tip is something most blender users will intuit. That’s so far, one of my favourite things about Godot. I hated navigation and that in Unity. But Godot is identical in terms of viewport controls and little things like this which I love to see

This is a very good tip. Thank you!

Finally :D

Tried this but now the ColorRect will stretch the pixels if you don't have a 1:1 ratio sized window.

That one has gotten me countless times in the past, after about the 20th time I think I finally learned to check for it but it can still be tricky to track down in dynamic UIs.

@@beidero Just dealing with that today actually. Working on a card game framework and mouse events for overlaying cards is harder than expected. I played around with visual click tracking (everything is pure Area2D) or control based click tracking (treenode traversal with dead-ends) . The latter of the two took a bit to figure out.

That is a very common one, yes. Although it is usually something easy to spot (like a background element), for those cases where it is really hard to find, here is an extra tip: With the game running, open the debugger panel on the bottom, and then go to the Misc tab, it will show you the last control you clicked. You can then start clicking around and see there what is intercepting the clicks. You can double check with the Remote tab of the scene panel, also while the game is running.

@@Theraot A lot of people, me included, expand control nodes to fullscreen, while making visual changes only at the small part of it. That is why this problem is so hard to spot :)

@@Theraot WHAT!?!?! I never knew about that. That one is huge! Wish we had a tool/plugin/panel that would dump out all mouse input events.

Thank you very much :) And have fun with the shaders! They are a bit weird at first, but not that hard

Thanks :D

Try calling the function restart() on the particle system!

I was wondering for a while before we found out :D

Thank you very much :)

Awwww

OGG is a bit larger with same bitrate, but with a slightly lower bitrate it is both smaller and better quality (as far is my research goes, i dont have the ears to confirm that)

I started my own game with MP3 files and I quickly changed them into OGG files. By lowering the quality setting a bit (I use audacity to convert them), they're really smaller in my project and I could not notice any audio quality loss even with a headset.

Pretty much sounds like the main application for light 2d. Maybe you can build the occluders programmatically from collision shapes? Someone might have solved this already

@@PlayWithFurcifer I've checked and tried with light2D on the player and the occluder on the wall tile in my top view 2d game, but the "darkness" gets rendered on top of the tile so I can't see the wall's sprite, meaning I can't make 1 tile walls for example, because they'll just be completely black and it looks bad :(

But who will stop me?

@@PlayWithFurcifer no one

ogg is better quality in same bitrate compare to mp3, so you can use lower bitrate (size) in same quality of mp3.

Glad it was helpfull! :D Thanks

Yup it was renamed. You can find more info about GDScript 2.0 here: github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/39093 There are quite a few converters in the works. The Godot 4 Beta comes with a converter integrated. Haven't tested it yet though.

@@PlayWithFurcifer Thank you. I don't like this change. The word yield is used hundreds of times in my projects. I hate this change. Now I'll have to change this word hundreds of times. Just nonsense. By the way, your video is great and very informative.

@@saulnores3477 Godot 4 will convert those for you the first time you open a project made with Godot 3.x - There will still be things to change, but yield and a lot of the API renames won't be among those. Except when you yield on something Godot can't figure out. --- I have notes on what you will have to look for: - Now there are two typed version of min, max, clamp, sign and abs. One works with int and the other with float. You might need to figure out which you need on a case by case basis. - Some APIs now use StringName when they used String before. Godot will convert between them with no problem, but some things you may have to change some declaration from String to StringName to match what Godot uses. - There is no subarray, now it is slice, and be careful with the upper bound. - Tweens are no longer nodes. Which also means you should not add_child them, but you still need to keep a reference… It is better to migrate to the new API. - You need to copy the bodies of getters and setters manually. - Warning suppression are not migrated. Also Godot 4 defaults are more strict than Godot 3.x defaults. Plus there is an open issue on the suppression of the unused_parameter warning. - As I said, if Godot can't figure out what you are yielding on, you will have to write the await yourself. - Remember to Configure Blender and FBX2gltf - Some EditorPlugin API changes still need to be done manually, in particular renamed virtual functions. - Pay attention to the changes to the button pressed state and signal names. - You need to update exported variables that have an enumeration manually - It is now _get_configuration_warnings and returns a PackedStringArray, Godot won't upgrade this for you. - You need to specify class icons with @icon

@@saulnores3477 To clarify, on yield, Godot expect the signal name to be a string literal, or a variable identifier. If you have there something more complex (e.g. a ternary expression, or you do some string concatenation) then Godot won't be able to convert it to the new syntax.

@@Theraot Hi Alfonso. Thank you for your detailed explanation. You have been very polite. I learned many things with your answer. Thank you very much.

It is based on downloads. So probably $0 so far, some if they get downloads. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wSm8pjCKoJI.html

That is an annotation. Which are part of GDScript 2.0 new syntax, which Godot 4 uses. @onready is what onready was for Godot 3.x.

@@Theraot 👍

I have no experience with that platform, what is it for?

@@PlayWithFurcifer it's a great video platform and you can sync automatically to Odysee from RU-vid. The amount of ads is getting annoying on RU-vid unfortunately

I really don't think the (90s) advert ruined the video, people can skip it and it performs well. You simply have no insight into the deal we made, so I do not understand how you can judge if it was a good one...

@@PlayWithFurcifer I'm glad you have sponsors, really am, and anything is better than being forced two unstoppable 20 second ads at the star 😉 Just commenting on the extent of it, feel free to ignore me. But yes, I skipped it all, that was my point.

I'm not a fan of Ads but I watched this one since it was fun.

Oh no, how will I live without you specifically watching this tutorial? :( Understand that you not watching a tutorial is your loss, not mine lol
