How to Make Collectable Objects in Godot 4 (coins, apples, etc) 

You are definitely getting better at this. Your channel is incredibly valuable, please keep going. Some suggestions on how to improve: take a note of how Clear Code teaches in their video "The ultimate introduction to Godot 4": 1. the state the problem or motivation for wanting to do something, 2. they tell what approach they are going to use 3. they show the approach 4. they show any potential problems that arise from the approach 5. they describe the reason why said problem arose 6. they fix the problem. Notice how you tend to skip phases 1 and 2, and that makes it sometimes difficult to follow.

Thank you so much for the tutorials! I'm excited for the next one. I also love your quick (but still clear) pace. I often find myself zoning out when other tutorials move so slowly.

for those who were unable to execute the animation of apples disappearing from the tree: in the signals connect _on_pickable_area_body_entered(body): and _on_pickable_area_body_exited(body): instead of _on_pickable_area_area_entered(body): and _on_pickable_area_area_exited(body): Note: do not rename in the script, disconnect the signal and reconnect again the right way.

Another great episode. I'm so glad you decided to make a survival game tutorial. I have been wanting to make a survival game my self and this will be a great help

Across multiple tutorials and engines, I don't think I've ever watched any tutorials as helpful as yours have been to me, by far the easiest to takes notes and branch off of. Thank you very much for your hard work!!

awesome Dev, ill be watching this tomarrow, thank you! Well done! ✌

I'm really enjoying following along. One small issue that's probably more to do with the Godot UI and my age than it is your teaching... I find that sometimes you click through a series of Godot UI controls quickly and I have to rewind 2-3 times to see where you went and follow along. Is it possible for you to better show where you are clicking in the Godot UI so it's super clear? It should only be needed the first time through a given process in each video for me, once we're repeating things I'm good. One thing I find really good in your videos is that you don't hide your mistakes. Explaining your mistakes and how you fix them is incredibly valuable. Thank you.

This is Episode 3 of the Survival Series. Complete Survival Series Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PL3cGrGHvkwn2NOT1LSwf5d2XZmlc5Bjsn Hope this series helps!

As I knew it would be, this is so good. Thank you for all your work.

Very helpful video I waited here. Nice!

great vid . completing ur tutorials 1 by 1 :D

Nice! Keep the good work!

thnks for the content! i'm learning a lot in your videos!

instead of typing res:// at 10:57 you can click and drag the scene from the filesystem and it will add the file path in the line of code automatically

Congratulations 9k 🎉🎉🎉 Don't forget me when you grow up ❤❤

I am following it and i am gonna use the things that are necessary for my game thanks for the video . I appreciate it man thanks. :)

So usefull i really love your work !

These are so good! Can you do a video on a leveling/Job/Class system with xp?

Great series to realize some ideas in Godot with 0 knowledge about this engine. Keep going! :)

Thanks so much for doing these!

could you release the script files somewhere so we can read through them?

it work for me, thank you, finaly i found the good one that i can easy to understand

I like this tutorial series as I am coming over to godot from unity and i'm unfamiliar with how everything works here. just a small comment: The fade animation does not need to have defined a position and rotation track as it should fade regardless. Since the apple will have played the "fallingfromtree" animation already, it will fade at the position it ended the previous animation at.

Your teaching style is really working well with me, I did spend a solid hour swearing at my PC because i had a has. instead of a has_ So that was fun :> But yeah man your pace and ability to create + answer side notes makes it a lot easier to understand and piece the dots together of why this would work and for what reason would i use it. So yeah, Thankyou. Youre the first tutorial producer that matches my learning style.

Thanks for the vid, I’ve been looking foward to it. Can you make a video about making Finite State Machines, its a crucial step of being organized and more readable. Thanks again! ❤

i have followed your videos painstakingly, but find that i am still not getting any collision detection. no matter what i do or what settings i check for troubleshooting, the characterbody2d does not interact with the area2d i have checked that neither are collision disabled. i have checked that they have the same collision layers and masks on. i have checked that they are under the same parent node in the world scene. but nothing seems to work

Ow boy I can't wait to start this one tonight 😊

If you place multiple apple trees that intersect than with the current setup you would only need to press the key once and it would collect all apples from all trees. So you would need some additional logic to deal with that

Great stuff, thanks

hey i'm am new to coding/developing. I was following along pretty well with the video until the end. I created my animations and saved them like the video, but once my code was typed in it keeps giving me node not found =(. code matches what you showed word for word but I can get pass this any ideas??

Can you make a video explaining the AnimationTree node? Love your videos!

continue please, very interesting, I appreciate it, I'm waiting for the continuation of the game👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Can someone help me i used coins instead of trees but when i run the game the timer starts the animation and i cant pick the coin up. instead of respawning it it starts the animation

I am making this game for android but how do i replace the e button with the touch screen button node i did it but it didn't work can you please help me

Love the BL2 main menu music for like 5 sec at 20ish mins XD very funny

my method for this is using a +=1, where the global script is true and then false once the stuff is interacted. If the object is 0 however (note that I'm setting player inventory as 0 to 3, and apple state to 3 to 0), if apple is 0, the player can no longer pick up any apple. idk if this is a good method or not, so please gove some tipz

Continue 👍👍👍

hey I press e and I'm in the area and nothing happens the code is the same I'm really confused so help would be appreciated

you are amazing bro

not too many issues with this one. my apple isnt perfectly centered but everything else works. thanks.

All the animations work, but nothing happens when I press "e" in the actual game. I wanted to know how this can be fixed, and as always, thank you so much for your tutorials! PLEASE HELP! I looked at the errors and it said, Missing connected method '_on_pickable_area_area_body_entered' for signal 'body_entered' from node 'Apple Tree/pickable_area Area' to node 'Apple Tree'.Missing connected method '_on_pickable_area_area_body_exited' for signal 'body_exited' from node 'Apple Tree/pickable_area Area' to node 'Apple Tree'.

If you're having problem with apples not spawning (with timer), you probably written state == "apples" instead of state = "apples" in func _on_growth_timer_timeout():

I keep having an error with infinitley spawning apples, not sure why.

Hello, following all the steps when I get to minute 9.20, which is the time to see that the trees are growing apples, it doesn't work for me, everything is correct and I have followed everything step by step, but it doesn't work, what can I do? be the problem?

I'm kinda curious. Is it possible to just compile multiple collectables into one png? And if so how?

great vid thanks

If your having trouble with the has_method("player") line. you can test its by putting a print statement right after. i found the using has_signal("player") works better is you add func _ready(): add_user_signal("player") to the player script I have no idea how has_method works but this seems to be more versatile anyway.

Can we add a cool down for when the apples spawn on the tress

thankfully, had no errors or visual issues for this video. Only thing I noticed was that you went a little too fast in the entire process of adding stuff, coding, switching immediately to another script, etc. But it's no big deal, I can deal with just pausing and rewinding :) Keep up the good work! I am definitely enjoying this series! :D I hope I can incorporate this with making a mining system. I would just have to change the Harvesting part to mining (adding the animation for mining with a pickaxe, and coding in the logic with how many hits it takes to break the ore with whatever pickaxe type I'm using).

Thanks!

Hi DevWorm!!! thanks for making such a detailed video, your videos definitely helped me so much! I got one query though, couldn't you make the fade animaiton in the the same animation which you were making which is "fallingfromtree" instead of making two seperate animations

Umm my apple tree doesn't spawn apples at all i followed all you said, can somebody pls offer advice

I cant move the trees, I did everything like you showed but I cant still move them.

Nice video i thought you reupload deleted video sound track management

Hello, I am one of your followers and I had a request for a video. How could you make a worm similar to the worms in the game Terraria? I would be very grateful if you would please

If you click it multiple times before queue_free() is signaled (while animation is playing) it will collect multiple times

Troubleshooting for you guys: 1) If you have the problem where the apple doesnt appear on the tree, make sure the whole animation is reset to its original and starting state and not when it's faded away 2) If the apple stays on the tree and disappears instead of falling down and fading, remember that the "Autoplay on Load" for "fallingfromtree" animation must be On but for the "fading" animation it must be Off

BTW can u also tell how to make this into a mobile game movement or smth like that

My apple tree is spawning apples way off to the bottom right of where the trees are located. Had to fix this by placing the Marker2D several coordinates to the top left of tree, but that isn't a real fix. Any idea why it would be spawning the apples in a weird position like that even if the Marker2D is directly on the tree?

Based tutorial

Have a weird problem. When spawning the apple collectible. It doesn't display the apple animation at all. The instance is spawning, I get the +1 Apple text. And tree is regrowing. Weird. I even deleted the opacity from the timeline because I thought I messed something up and it was interfering. But nope ... any ideas?

Hey man I’m using this game as an assignment for my digital class (hope that’s alright) but respectfully when do you think you’ll be able to upload the rest of the tutorials as this game is due very soon for me. Thanks

Thanks bro

Hi, DevWorm, Ive been following along with this series here up to this point at 9:41 where I am officially stumped. My trees are simply not growing apples and Ive no clue why. Ive followed every step and script meticulously, but for some reason I cannot figure out why my trees are stuck on the "no apples" animation. If you could suggest something, Id appreciate it. *nvm, I fixed it...turns out my timer was labeled as "timer" still instead of "growth_timer" fml

the location of where the apple falls relative to the tree is completely off and im very new to this any suggestion

Great, job....just FYI instantiate is pronounced.....in-stan-shee-ate 👍

Great,I love you man

Having an issue with trying to spawn the godot logo, when you collect the apple. I keep getting an error that says: Invalid get index 'global' (on base: 'StaticBody2D').

Can you make 3d grappling hook for Godot 4

I got stuck around 9:40 my trees start with no apples, three seconds they grow apples, but pressing e doesnt removed them. My script should be exactly the same with and no errors so im not why its not working. Please help thanks

nice

having an issue with the apple showing up far to the left. has anything changed with global position or with Marker2D?

i have been following along but i still encountered a problem, the tree is not sensing if the player entered or exited the collision. please help

Anyone figured out the problem with the marker2D ? I checked the script twice and it is correct, although apple spawns far from the apple tree, it must be some setting of the 2D marker but I can't find a solution. Marker2D is centered on the Apple tree, yet the apple spawns in the middle of the stage.

what is has_method("player")?

please help! I cant proceed because when i press E on my keyboard, the apple is not picked. HELLPP

I suggest making more tips videos, I miss them.

Ok I want to say, that this tutorial is very nice clear about all the steps involved. And what you've done is very impressive. But the title of the video is "How to Make Collectable Objects in Godot 4 ", not "how to make an apple tree that will spawn collectible apples after a certain amount of time and drop them" It gives a lot of information that might not be applicable to the task. That said, I will definitely keep following.

I am getting it to work but for some reason, my player is picking both trees at the same time. No matter where I am on the map.

Is this the same for a chest? Open, drop item and fade.

You level in montag is upgrade ❤❤

where are the other videos of this series? why u stopped uploading

Hey weird bug with tree's growing back apples, they should in theory grow back in order of picked, anyone else noticed this?

cant wait 🥵

oh man, you started going REALLY fast once the animation started and through to the end. I had to pause and replay a lot more in this episode than the others so far. Guess that's just my inexperience showing lol

20:48 *Smooth jazz intensifies*

for a long time my player wasnt being recofnised as within the pickable area. after a long time i figured out that within my player scene, i had the collision shape nested within the camera2d, rather as outside the camera only nested in player scene.

Thank you Why use a "player" function rather than a "player" group?

Incredible series, im at inventory 2 but i have this bug where both trees replenish at the same time, even when i pick the apples at very different times.

tree felling and harvesting tutorial (terraria style, StardewValley) please 😕

can someone help me and put they code to the reply's plz

badly need an inventory vid, i did one but it worked so badly :(

The “t” is silent.

Hi

did he just mispronounce "instantiate"?

hi

20:48 :D

I'm having trouble getting the pickable area to register the player. I'm able to pick all of the trees at once if I set "player_in_area = true", but not if I'm trying to use the collisionShape to sense the player. I've made to sure add func player(): pass to the player script. Is there anyway I could debug this? heres what I've got as well. extends Node2D var state = "no apples" # no apples, apples var player_in_area = false func _ready(): if state == "no apples": $growth_timer.start() func _process(delta): if state == "no apples": $AnimatedSprite2D.play("no apples") if state == "apples": $AnimatedSprite2D.play("apples") if player_in_area: if Input.is_action_just_pressed("use"): state = "no apples" $growth_timer.start() func _on_pickable_area_body_entered(body): if body.has_method("player"): player_in_area = true func _on_pickable_area_body_exited(body): if body.has_method("player"): player_in_area = false func _on_growth_timer_timeout(): if state == "no apples": state = "apples"

Please don't leave us hanging like this. I thought you were going to be releasing these "every other day"? Just an update to what's happening would be nice. I get you have a life outside of YT so no need for details and I hope everything is alright.

extends Node2D var state = "no_apples" var player_in_area = false func _ready(): if state == "no_apples": $growth_timer.start() func _process(delta): if state == "no_apples": $AnimatedSprite2D.play("no_apples") if state == "apples": $AnimatedSprite2D.play("apples") if player_in_area: if Input.is_action_just_pressed("e"): state = "no_apples" $growth_timer.start() func _on_pickable_area_body_entered(body): if body.has_method("player"): player_in_area = true func _on_pickable_area_body_exited(body): if body.has_method("player"): player_in_area = false func _on_growth_timer_timeout(): if state == "no_apples": state = "apples"
