Complete 3D Shooting Mechanics - Godot 4 FPS Tutorial 

I had a problem where my bullet had multiple problems, so here is my solution for future generations. The problems; my bullet spawned way over my head and fired in a direction that wasn't quite where I was looking but picked a direction relative to how rotated my camera was. the bullet also curved as I turned my camera mid-flight. the solution; I replaced "get_parent().add_child(instance)" with "get_tree().root.add_child(instance)". this gets the root node of your level and makes the new bullet a child of that.

TIPS: 1. Hold control while you click and drag a node from the scene hierarchy to the script to create a full @onready var 2.There is a Translate() function that changes the nodes position. Could simplify the bullet movement slightly.

Thanks for the tutorial! There is not many godot 4 tutorials so yours are a huge help to beginners

Just started on the 3D game development journey in Godot and the 3 tutorials are super helpful. Thanks!

These are incredible. I love how succinct they are. Keep this style up! This is some of the best godot content I've come across so far

This has been one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve found so far. Thank you!

You have a fantastic foundation to create a simple COD zombies game, maybe. i have near zero experience in game dev so i truly wouldnt know regardless, these tutorials are awesome

This series is going really well!

PERFECT : simple, fast and very well explain for newbies

awesome workaround for the collision shapes of enemies. Thank you

Looking great, thank you. I’ve added sound and made it quite a bit darker. Very fun to shoot those undead.

Another great tutorial with all the code working as it should. It is fast paced which allows you to put more ideas and solutions into the video without dragging on.

I i hate the way people always rush to do stuff without letting viewers see it

I think the collision boxes now work with the animationtree without having to redo them. They reworked AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree between 4.1 and 4.2 so it could be related to that.

What a legend, fantastic video mate, keep them coming.

I liked this video months ago, but I keep coming back for top tips ♥

I recalled your video many times, so many good and essential stuff around it! Thanks for the knolage shortcut!!!

Nice tutorial. GJ on being crispy clear on ur words!

God Bless you bro, this tutorial is amazing!

Love your tutorials man. Keep them up =)

You have the best fps tutorials for godot thanks for sharing and contributing to the godot community

really helpful series, it would be nice if the video about enemies with skeletons had a warning that the 'generate skeleton' thing is kinda broken, i had problems with it as well.

Love the tutorials so far ❤

Your tutorials are amazing. I'm upset with myself for the ways I did things. Being new to Godot I did not know about "clear inheritance" and had no idea how to get hitboxes to be children of the bones. So, I grabbed the skeleton object in GDScript, found positions of two bones I wanted the hitbox between, and applied linear interpolation between them to place the hitboxes where I wanted. It looks a lot easier being able to make the hitboxes child nodes of the bones. lol

10/10 tutorials need more!

When I press the fire button, the bullets aren't where the ray cast is. They also change position (On the Y axis) depending on where I am in the play space Bullet: extends Node3D const SPEED = 40.0 @onready var mesh = $MeshInstance3D @onready var ray = $RayCast3D # Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time. func _ready(): pass # Replace with function body. # Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame. func _process(delta): position += transform.basis * Vector3(0,0,-SPEED) *delta Gun: @onready var gun_animation = $Sketchfab_Scene/AnimationPlayer @onready var gun_barrel = $Sketchfab_Scene/RayCast3D var bullet = load("res://Scenes/bullet.tscn") var instance func _process(delta): if Input.is_action_pressed("Click"): if !gun_animation.is_playing(): gun_animation.play("shoot") instance = bullet.instantiate() instance.position = gun_barrel.global_position instance.transform.basis = gun_barrel.global_transform.basis get_parent().add_child(instance)

Not sure who needs to hear this but you need to make sure the RayCast3D on your bullet is set to Collide with Area3D objects (do this in the inspector tab), otherwise the bullets will sail straight through the enemy hurtbox and do no damage.

Great tutorial, thanks

The 8 guns joke was...very satisfying.

thank you man! you're a real life saver

only thing missing is multible weapon types and ammo to pick up

it looks great, thanks for sharing

thank u very much i learn a lot

Great Tutorial Keep Going 💪

With every bullet the memory goes higher and higher....

nice if you did a weapon pick up and drop system. And thanks for this tutorial

You are an Excellent Teacher !

Your tutorials are the best😎

10:25 well this is awkward now... in your previous tutorial you were only talking about the three animations "standup", "run", "attack", not about the "die" animation. How can I now add a fourth animation to the already existing model? If I reimport from blender, all the previous work (position track in standup, hit-frame in attack, animation-renaming) will overriden right? Can I somehow retarget an existing animation onto a different model (import 2nd zombie model just with "die" animation and then retarget to existing zombie)?

What's better than 8 guns.... Neo: "Guns, lots of guns."

very neat well done

Thank you

For me sometimes the collision wont trigger, using simple boxes and spheres on a level. From specific angles and distances the bullet collides correctly and sometimes couple inches to the side the bullet goes right through. Not sure this is a limitation of the engine for fast moving objects or i got something wrong.

HUGE thanks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Your 8 guns joke convinced me to sub, like and keep the bell active haha 😂😂

i had an issue where my bullet would spawn and immediately crash. i fixed it by replacing the movement in _process for the bullet with " translate(Vector3(0, 0, -SPEED) * delta) ". no idea why the other one wasn't working, but this does, and i think it's simpler anyway

The Best!

lol at the end. love it.

can u make a Tutorial for a 3rd person shooter (Tps) ?

I have a doubt. If the fps goes down, maybe the bullets pass through the enemy and other colliders?

which video you make animation for "die" ? i miss it. :))

Sometimes the bullets just hit the floor without showing the particles. Is there a reason for this?

Awesome tutorial!! I'm just having trouble getting the bullets to start at the gun barrel. I've followed the tutorial closely but for some reason the bullets are not aligning with the gun barrel.

Nice tutorial! Are we getting anymore content in this zombie-shooter series?

Please help the following line from the bullet just does nothing at all, the bullet spawns but doesn't move, position += global_position * Vector3(0, 0, -SPEED) * delta I tried adding a print(position) below this to have it print it's position, more to see if it was even running the code in the script, but IDK if that is a valid way of doing it, but if it is it seems like once it's spawned the code on the script isn't running?

when i run the game the bullets only colide some times only i tried every thing but its not working????😥😥😥😥

How do I make specific Huns do different damage

Would you also be going over animations for the gun?

For some reason when I walk forward my bullets go in reverse here's my code: var input_dir = Input.get_vector("Left", "Right", "Up", "Down") var direction = (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).normalized() if direction: velocity.x = direction.x * SPEED velocity.z = direction.z * SPEED else: velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED) velocity.z = move_toward(velocity.z, 0, SPEED) move_and_slide()

Question can you import gun animations from blender?

i make 3d fps game for mobile, but i will try to play in mobile , i will touch(swipe) mouse motion only, it will work properly, and i will touch (move) joystick only, then joystick work properly, but i will use both of them, first i will touch mouse motion and after touch joystick, both of them work properly but first i will touch joystick and after touch mouse motion , joystick will work but mouse motion not work, 😢😢how to solve please help

I can't change the materials on the models for some reason. When i try that it says that i cant change materials on imported models. Does anyone know how i can fix this? Because i've seen other people do it

what to do if it reports an error that there is no function is_playing in the code: if Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"): if !gun_anim.is_playing(): gun_anim.play("Shoot") instance = bullet.instance() instance.position = gun_barrel.position instance.transform.basis = gun_barrel.globale_transform_basis get_parent().add_child(instance)

I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE BULLETS APEAR AND GO FOWARD

dude, like seriously, the eight guns thing makes this look like a mech game. and honestly, you would probably have a minor successful game if you make an 8 guns game where you can shift out each gun depending on their energy usage, size, weight and recoil for instance. Making it such that players have to make decisions on which guns to bring and so fort and each gun should obviously have a specific use such that it actually matters. then you can add on top of that mech parts like legs, reactor, shield and so on such that you have to balance your mech to support the guns. and then of course add tons of zombie mech enemies players can demolish for fun.

My particles only emit a fraction of the time. Most hits don't emit, even though it is colliding. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Can you do a tutorial of blood particles when you hit an enemy?

When the player is strafing, the rifle muzzle raycast is offset (to the left if strafing left, to the right if strafing right), before lerping back to its position (only after the pressed button for strafing is let go). Does anyone know how I could solve this issue?

why douse my bullets shoot horizontally?

can you pls make tutorial for weapon system so can easily add more type of weapons

The 8 guns got me 😂😂

so it doesn't work in godot 4.1? i can't seem to find the "get_simple_path". is there another method for it?

been trying to make a 3rd person shooter and its just not happening. not sure why, even with testing everything logically is there, but nothing works EDIT: after bouncing back and forth with a legend of a friend, i have concluded that you must not adjust the transform of your main root node. and also, printing positions of your instance and or players was a huge help in finding my issues example: print(position) print(instance.name) print(instance.position) print(instance.global_position)

Question, i just finished the body part script, and it works with headshots which the original signal and stuff is attached to, but whenever i hit a non head body part, it crashes and says "Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'hit' in base 'Area3D' im confused and not sure what is wrong here, how did he set up the signal again? he did it so fast maybe i did something wrong

Help my bullet phases past objects then on the other side explodes into particles.

Hi Which programing language use in this engine c plus or c sharp or both of them are use in this engine and if we know just one programing language is it benefit for use godot or not.

i mean, why not use the animation player to just queue_free the zombies? you can call methods from the tracks themselves, you just have to set the condition to play and save a few lines of code with no timers and anything

I can't put the bullet speed to high, more than 40 and the bullets are not colliding, it probably has to do with the raycast not detecting the collision thanks to the speed? I would like the bullets to travel faster, so it's less time to make it to the enemies. If someone know what it could be, I would appreciate the help.

Brother i need ur help actually i trying to built a game that based on Dead by Daylight and u know i am beginner or u can say worse than beginner so i created Map and add some model set camera but some problems with Scripting 😢😢

my bullets are getting stuck midair and colliding with nothing :c as soon as i added the collision code

How do you combine all the scenes into one called world, and also can you use arms to holding the ❤nice video by the way❤

i used marker instead of a raycast for gun's barrel.

Can you add a melee weapon?

the engine is telling me that the function instantiate doesn't exist any idea how to fix it? because you're using it to spawn them in

Amazing!!! can u add audio to it??

May I ask where does the player scene come from? Many thx ❤

Is there an easy way to transform the keyboard and mouse input to a simple controller input script?

I'm just wondering, are you pronouncing L's as W's?

How do you import the animations after you already have the character?

Z is depth so doesn't it kind of track that it represents the objects distance from the screen instead of up and down like blender? In 2D Y is vertical and X is horizontal, converting to 3D is just adding the element of depth or Z. This is one of those things that should really be developed according to one standard just like introducing a system of measurement or adding right angles.

Idk if I should post this here or elsewhere, but I'm having trouble with the bullets colliding with the air and I don't know what I did wrong, can someone help me??

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

super))

I did everything as in the video, but at 5:08 my pistol cartridges do not fly out

dude pls help Im on an iMAC and I ran the project and the game is so laggy i could barely move the camera

Anyone know why the bullets are flying out of the floor of my map instead of the gun?

how to make artillery in godot plis help

incrivel é o melhor tuturial do mundo, mas você sabe oque é melhor? 16 guns com amigos ;)... mas eu nao tenho amigos :-:, mas tenho 16 guns ahahaha

Hey, if I have 1 spawner, how to make 1 zombie come out of it and not appear again?

I'm getting this error, I've followed exactly and idk what went wrong Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'instantiate' in base 'GDScript'.
