Shooting a Bullet - Godot Tutorial 

"instance" is now "instantiate" "Position2D" is now "Marker2D"

if anyone is wondering why is not working if you are using godot 4 the reason is that u should be using "instantiate" instead of "instance"

Like it, straightforward just the thing you need when having just "One" Problem.

Thanks mate, I was in a gamejam and this tutorial really helped me

Life saver! The only tutorial that worked for me!

thank you so much, really helpful.Appreciate it dude😀

thank you very much! I'm currently making a game, and i have problem with stomping enemy physics, so this video really helped me out! Thanks bud, i'll credit you when the development of my game finishes, btw, have an amazing day!

Thank you, kind man, we are developing game with my friend and total rookies when it comes to code, and without this tutorial we would just stuck in the creating of bullet.

This is the first time i have seen someone type out the object path, you are on a next level

tysm, this is the only tutorial that worked for me

Thanks mate, I've been looking at all these confusing tutorials, but yours is the first that really seems like a step by step guide. Really appreciate it

Thank you so much man. Me and my friend are new to godot so I naturally challenged him to make a little shooting characters. We got so close but couldnt figure it out.😅amazing video!

This was really helpful, thanks!

Thx this was very straightforward

Awesome tutorial! The first, after which my game work.

Nice, I'll try it now

Thank you so muck.. This video is like a diamond which I found...❤

bro this is amazing

3:38 Thank you! That's the one issue I had in my code!

i dont expect a response but it's worth a shot. The bullet just doesn't move at all. func shoot(): if Bullet: print("bullet made") var bullet_instance = Bullet.instantiate() bullet_instance.position = get_global_position() bullet_instance.rotation_degrees = rotation_degrees + 90 bullet_instance.apply_impulse(Vector2(), Vector2(bullet_speed, 0).rotated(rotation)) get_tree().get_root().add_child(bullet_instance) it just spawns in on the player sprite

thank you very much bro

Amazing Tutorial, thank you so much , i always had the bug that the bullet follows the play position

This tutorial is great for Godot 4.0 with a few conversions but something I'm not able to get working is get_global_mouse_position(), it keeps saying it can't be used in base "self" and I'm not sure how this is happening because I'm operating in the same workspace you are, and documentations for this are mind-breaking

TYSM!!

How do I get this to work? In my game, i dont want to have the bullet follow my mouse. Rather when the player flips left or right, the bullet with then shoot left or right. I was able to follow your vid and get the bullet to shoot to the right fine. Just need to be able to shoot to the left when the player faces left. Any ideas would be great ❤

How would I get the bullet to rotate to face the correct direction? They always come out looking directly to the right. And how do I get the bullet to despawn when it hits something? This tutorial feels unfinished..

it is easier than I thought

Oh thanks

having a problem, it says: “Invalid set index ‘velocity’ (on base: Node2D’) with the value of type ‘Vector2’”

Super cool, does anyone have any ideas on how to orient the bullet sprite towards the mouse? I'm guessing it has to happen when it's instanced by the player

Godot 4.2 sucks man. I can't do this. I've been trying for weeks now :( The hunting aspect of my game is slowly gone :(

im relatively new.. so i wonder.. can you just create a rigidbody as bullet and apply an opposite direction force? so that's an actual physical bullet?

I am using this for my tank game and I have a problem, the Position2D is following the mouse and not rotating I tried clamping its position but that didn't work.

Hi Thats Tutorial Is Good But I Have Problem Cuz When I Wanna Test My Game and Click Something The Game Just Stops and I Need Quit, Whats Wrong?

mine just says: Parser Error: The identifier "velocity" isn't declared in the current scope. please help

Hello! What can be the reason of this warning? Invalid type in function 'get_child' in base 'YSort'. Cannot convert argument 1 from Object to int.

For anyone getting the (Member "velocity" redifened) ERROR: now vector2() is part of velocity in GODOT 4 so you simply have to deleted the 3rd line in the video

KinematicBody2D is now CharacterBody2D

I love you

Hey brother, wonderful video, but I'm having a slight problem with my code. The closer to the sprite my mouse gets the slower it is, the further the faster. Any idea how to fix that? having trouble with it. Using Godot 4 btw

for some reason in mine it just don't stop shooting

Invalid set index 'velocity' (on base: 'node2d') with value type 'Vector2

How to make the bullet rotate to the position of the mouse

how do you shoot a bullet without using mouse position. im using WASD to move around and just want to use my players vector2 as my bullets.

you probably wont respond but why does my bullet only go right even with all the code? its spawning where it should its just not going anywhere else except right im also using godot 4

Why is the position of the bullet not on the player? I need help

I follow all the tutorial but the bullet when add func mouse position doesn't work can you upload this file?

I don't expect a response but I can't find Position2D on godot 4.2

what if i setup a projectile with just area2d sprite and collision shape. How should I code it to achieve the same functionality

I already had a world scene and it broke my camera, whenever i play i just have a grey empty screen

My projectiles starts every time from the same spot and my code is exactly like yours....

Umm the function shoot() does not exist in my editor

i have aproblem when i take the mouse to player the bullet sticks to the player plz help

Are you alive bro? Your Vids are really good. Take care in life there are people who care about you:)

this is a tutorial i neded im a biginer and this tutorial is the only one thet worked i love it and yea there are some glitches in shooting for exemple when bullets colaid they stop and can you make a tutorial to fix it?? thnx by the way

it work but the bullet start in the middle and not to my player so if i move and after i m shoot the bullet shoot but the it start shoot at the middle why?

Спасибо

How do i make the bullet face the same way as my character tho?

hello, please can you help me i have an error: Cannot get return value of call to "action_press()" because it returns "void".

How do you delete the bullet after it reaches a certain point or distance

Does anyone know how to change teh speed of the bullet?

Please explain this if editing for a controller

Brother how to move the player a step backwards after shooting bullet??

Invalid get index 'global_position' (on base: 'null instance').

Source?

Does anyone know why my code isn’t working I have everything copied down exactly but it isn’t even calling the function

How can I destroy bullet to avoid much memory usage

Why if bullet shoot out of own position2d? It starts from other place

The bullet is colliding with my players collision how to I make it so that the bullet doesn't collide with my player but collides with enemies??? Can u pls help?

How to doit on c# im try but it gives me error

move and collide doesnt work

when the bullet shoot near postion 2d it speed was slow

If mouse is on player the bullet go to the player

Why the game closes when I shoot? :(

Hey how can i make the bullets dissapear after hitting a wall?

Hey, sorry if I'm commenting twice, but can you do a tutorial to make this same shooting system but on mobile? Or maybe controller? So that maybe I, could use these in my future games. Anyways, thanks!

Hi, I was hoping anyone might know why the bullet wont move? Everything else seems fine. Here's the player's script: extends CharacterBody2D const bulletpath = preload("res://Player/Bullet.tscn") const SPEED = 100.0 const JUMP_VELOCITY = -350.0 var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting("physics/2d/default_gravity") @onready var anim = get_node("AnimationPlayer") func _physics_process(delta): if not is_on_floor(): velocity.y += gravity * delta if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_up") and is_on_floor(): velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Jump") $"Jump SFX".play() var direction = Input.get_axis("ui_left", "ui_right") if direction == -1: get_node("AnimatedSprite2D").flip_h = true elif direction == 1: get_node("AnimatedSprite2D").flip_h = false if direction: velocity.x = direction * SPEED if velocity.y == 0: $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Walk R") else: velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED) if velocity.y == 0: $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Idle") move_and_slide() func _process(delta): if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Shoot"): print("Im shooting") shoot() func shoot(): var bullet = bulletpath.instantiate() get_parent().add_child(bullet) bullet.position = $Marker2D.global_position Here's the bullet's script: extends CharacterBody2D var speed = 1000 func _physics_process(delta): var collision_info = move_and_collide(velocity.normalized() * delta * speed)

having a problem on shoot{}

help, im having problems with parenting i think because im using a gun instead of the player and the bullets are following me... oh and they aren't spawning where they are supost to

How do you do $Position2D in c#?

how to create a wait time

There is a problem with this code though. For a platformer game if you make the gun shot a child of the player and if you move the player while the shot is being processed, you could push or pull the shot. For example if you shoot left and player goes right the shot will also get dragged right while it is shooting left because it is a child of the Player. All this stuff has to be done on the world scene.

For some reason, I don't even get a bullet. Godot 4 Mobile

First again

I dare you to put your mouse on your player, then shoot.

I want to like this video so badly but it has 420 likes.....

Bullet code?

Я почесал яйца

Does anyone know why the game freezes when I click and crashes when I press any other button? Here's the code: extends CharacterBody2D const bullet_path = preload("res://Scenes/bullet.tscn") const SPEED = 150.0 const JUMP_VELOCITY = -350.0 # Get the gravity from the project settings to be synced with RigidBody nodes. var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting("physics/2d/default_gravity") func _physics_process(delta): # Add the gravity. if not is_on_floor(): velocity.y += gravity * delta # Handle jump. if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept") and is_on_floor(): velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY $JumpSfx.play() # Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration. # As good practice, you should replace UI actions with custom gameplay actions. var direction = Input.get_axis("Left", "Right") if direction: velocity.x = direction * SPEED $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Run") if direction == -1: $AnimatedSprite2D.flip_h = true else: $AnimatedSprite2D.flip_h = false else: $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Idle") velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED) if not is_on_floor(): $AnimatedSprite2D.play("Jump") func _process(_delta): if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"): shoot() $Node2D.look_at(get_global_mouse_position()) func shoot(): var bullet = bullet_path.instance()

bullet.position = $Node2D/Position2D.global_position bullet.velocity = get_global_mouse_position() - bullet.position on this line it says "Invalid set index 'velocity' (on base: 'Node2D') with value of type 'Vector2'."

Invalid get index 'global_position' (on base: 'null instance').? oh i was putting the position 2d in the bullet thanks it worked

Great tutorial but how do I make it not spawn hundreds of bullets when the shoot button is held down? I only modified one thing so it would work with buttons Ill shoo the line of code below bullet.velocity = $Target.global_position - bullet.position Target is a Position 2D node that is farther out in front of the player.

I share a solution that I found to a problem I did to myself, if anyone needs it! I use a shotgun as a gun, and being the barrel of the shotgun really long, the player could "shoot behind the point of the gun" basically shooting himself, the solution is to take that into consideration at the moment of giving velocity to the bullet: var shotgun_barrel = $Pivot/Position2D.global_position - $Pivot.global_position bullet.velocity = get_global_mouse_position() + shotgun_barrel - bullet.position
