Top Down 2D Shooting in Godot 

Jesus man, I couldn't find ANYTHING like this anywhere, although it would be really appreciated if we could have a Godot 4 version. Thank you for explaining everything clearly!

Even though this vid is a bit old it really helped me out when I couldnt find a tutorial. Thank you so much man you're a god send

Fantastic tutorial You did a great job. Brackey is doing a great job too. First I started learning Unity, but then switched to Godot. Looks like many people are opting for Godot. It is a trend setter. Please make more videos.

Thank you so much I spent hours trying to get this working and hours more looking for a video, don't know why it took so long to find

Thank you been looking for something like this for ages! Brilliant video and explanation =)

8:25 Gravity is applied to bullets and they fall down, which shouldn't happen in top-down perspective. Zero Gravity Scale on your RigidBody2D to avoid that.

Exactly what i needed + nicely explained = 10/10

Thanks very much! I am currently working o a topdown hunting game and this helped a lot! Continue the good work! 😀

What? What’s that? A tutorial that is perfect for the EXACT situation I’m in? Don’t mind if I do! Good tutorial 9999999999/10

Thank you dude, making my first game it is an platformer and u are some magician that is able to shoot fireballs and teleport upwards i juat couldn't figure out how to make the fireball

Fab tutorial Tom. Looks great!

I find it funny that I was doing a top down, but in all the tutorials the bullets were with RayCast. So I had to improvise, I suffered but I succeeded. and 10 minutes later you uploaded this video. Therefore my suffering was in vain. It's very funny

Amazing stuff m8. Helped me a lot. Thank you.

Its so clear, easy to understand, thankyou for making this video 👌👌👌

Well so kind of you sir. The video was well explained. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much man, very enlightening!

You're so awesome -- thank you so much for this video!! Learned a ton

Thank you! This vid helped me A LOT!

Very useful, thanks!

Thank you very much!This tutorial is very useful for me.

in enter the gungeon, the character sprite faces in different directions when aiming in a general direction, does anyone know how i could do that?

Nice video dude! Thank you so much!

So fast..!!!!! Thanks tom.... so useful

awesomeee, i used this on my side scrollee and it works perfectly. Thankss

You deserve more subscribers.

Thanks this really helped me!

Thank you Tom!

Doing Direction.x = input.get_action_strength("move_right") - input.get_action_strength("move_left") Direction.y = input.get_action_strength("move_down") - input.get_action_strength("move_up") Would be a much better way of getting the direction vector imo, it's the way I always use

Nice, make more godot tuts like these where you take other engine tuts and convert it to godot tuts 👍 . There are so many great unity and unreal tuts but converting them to be usable in godot feels daunting 😥

That was very useful. thanks. 👍

I love programming, I search for the tutorials I want (shooting in 2d platformer) and I get what I kinda needed (shooting in 2d top down) true programming experience (good vied :) )

Thank you appreciate it

I suggest dealing also with those bullets that have not been queue_free()'d. I haven't run any benchmark tests yet, but I suspect that filling the computer's memory with hundreds or thousands of bullet instances that just flew out of the screen and weren't queue_free()'d might have an impact on performance sooner or later ;) I liked your using of apply_force(), which is rarely used in other Godot tutorials, although it's supposed to be one of the few methods to use in conjunction with rigid bodies.

Good stuff

thank you very much,this video help me with a totally diferent melle mecanic

Thank you

Nice tutorial! one question tho instead of the player rotating to aim will it be possible to just aim with just the mouse instead? without rotating the player. like if you are facing up you can shoot behind you something like that

hello, thanks a lot for the infos, keep the amazing work =)

thanks a load, you make transferring from unity a breeze

Nice tutorial I want the same thing to do in my game

thanks you

I love this video could you make a video like brackeys side scrolling shooting tutorial

when i tried to make the bullets disappear on colision it shows up with"Script inherits from native type 'KinematicBody2D', so it can't be instanced in object of type: 'RigidBody2D'" and also when im connecting the bullet it says "connecting from" so that might have something do do with it.

This was fantastic! One thing you would have added is screen wrap, that is if tank goes out of screen from one end it comes back from another opposite end. I absolutely loved this tutorial otherwise.

Thx

Damn... trees in video games are a different breed...

tannk you sooooooooooooooo much !!!!!!!

Thanks for this! How do we add sounds to shooting and explosions?

Is there a way to do this 3.2.3? Do I have to make another group for my zombie or do I have to change the code? (My bullet doesn't doesn't disappear and the explosion doesn't play)

COOL.. Man... DANKE!!!

It says Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'apply_impulse' in base 'KinematicBody2D'. Every time I try to shoot. Pls help me.

I made a separate gun and typed the same bullet script. Every time I try to shoot, the bullet only moves forward in the x axis, no matter where my mouse cursor is pointing. How can I fix this? Thanks.

i have an issue, when i walk with my player and i turn my player, the bullets fly in different direction than my mouse.

👌

cool videa man though the explosion apearsa little behind where the bullet hit. I've followed the tutorial exactly. Any help?

hey, even when i add rotated(rotation) the bullets only go to the right of the player

just a quick question, i did everything what you told to, but my bullet shoots from my cursor xD, any idea how to repair it ?

Good tutorial. I'm making a tank turret, and I got the turret look at mouse, but I don't know how to make that movement smooth even if I move the mouse faster. How can i do that?

hi friend, thanks very much for mentioning about brackleys version and this. Godot doesnt have tutorials like unity has brackleys, I am so glad you have done something similar to a brackleys tutorial. What is your view between unity and godot especially for noobs or beginners to coding?

Hey, what type of node are the trees? I'm trying to replicate the scene in my computer. Thanks!

There's something weird happening to me, the script was working the first time but after the first test they started not being sent with velocity but just kinda being pooped out of my ship

dirt blort development sent me here!

Hey man where ya been the past long while? i still need to learn more about that fps xD learning how to make projectiles for the guns is on the top of my list right now..

❤

how do you hide the console? or is it impossible once its up?

7:10 - how to use the - rotated() - function in 3D? it need tow parameter: axis and phi. I add another node to player scene Bullet direction and put it farther in front of Bullet position and write my code like this: if Input.is_action_pressed("fire"): var bullet_instance = bullet.instance() bullet_instance.translation = $Bullet_position.get_global_transform().origin bullet_instance.apply_impulse(Vector3(), $Bullet_direction.get_global_transform().origin - $Bullet_position.get_global_transform().origin) get_tree().get_root().add_child(bullet_instance) it works but how to use by the rotating function?is it possible?

hey for me it said nonexistent function 'instance' in gdscript how do i fix this

do you know how to add sounds when it hits?

in godot 3.3 get_global_position( ) not exists. are they removed that function

Thank you for this great tutorial, but I noticed that you didn't multiply the player speed by delta, doesn't that make the player move with inconsistent speed on different devices because of the difference in frame rate ?

Hi, i need, your help, im spanish, then sorry for my english :v, when I make the group "player", and I do the function of the bullet, from, "if it is not in the group player: queue free", but when it collides with a tree, nothing happens, it keeps bouncing, the tree is a sprite and a static body2d 13:27

How do I rotate bullets without rotating the player?

Thanks to sugestion on unity tutorial but godoto is best engine ever.......special for 2d games.......thank you for sharing this turorial, nice work subscribe from me, continue to work people must interested on godot.......thank tou onece again great video......

Hi, How can I make it run out of ammo??

It says Invalid.call Nonexistent function 'apply_impulse' in base 'Node2D'. What can i do about it ?

Invalid call. Nonexistent function "rotated" in base "Nil", any ideas why? This occurs when applying impulse

my bullet doesnt have any applied force to it?

Thanks for the tutorial. I used it for a Side Scroller. The only problem I have is the bullet_speed that fluctuates when the user shoots and moves in the same direction. Any tips on how can I fix this issue?

I get this error : invalid call, Nonecistent fuction "apply_impulsive" in base "rigibody2D" (bullet.gd)

or just do "if Input.is_action_just_pressed('fire')"

When i am moving and shooting the bullet goes nuts and shoots in a wrong direstion idk how to fix it

Hi, I have a problem. I created a script on the bullet to be destroyed after 10 seconds, everything works normally, but when it disappears, the game slows down and I don't understand why. Can you help me? Here is the Code. var life = 10 func _process(delta): yield(get_tree()create_timer(life), "timeout") destroy() func destroy(): queue_free()

It gives me an error. It says: "Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'instance' in base 'StreamTexture'."

For me i don’t have a function called apply_impulse(), is there an alternative or can I fix it somehow?

This code doesn't work for me : "fire_instance.apply_impulse(mov, Vector2(fire_instance, 0).rotated(rotation))"

It says "Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'apply_impluse' in base 'RigidBody2D' This shows up every time I left click when playing the project. Could someone help me out?

I followed this but in the end it spawns 3 bullets and when i shoot down it spins out, anyhelp? Edit: Fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Area2D will be better in terms of performance for bullets

LMAOOOO I forgot the _ at the start of _physics_process(delta): and i couldnt figure out why it wasnt working

Asset?

ayuda, solo me dispara hacia la derecha :,v

How nontrivial is for godot users to make the player look at the mouse! I would have to write 1000 lines of code just for this one simple thing in unity.I will say that since brackeys stopped making videos,I've stopped using unity and godot is so much easier to use!

Totalmente genio ! Gracias hermano. No traduscas esto en el traductor de gugul xd

If you get halfway... there you are. Now I made the bullet already and I will not show you how it is put together and skip ahead and there you have it. Now go read the comments of everyone who made it through 100% with no snags singing the praise of the content creator.

dude slow down omg

This might just be me, but I hate GODOT signals. It feels a bit too much like the baby coding mode from GMS.

alguien me puede ayudar tengo un dilema con un Sprite en resumen es un personaje con función de pesca el cual se puede mover de izquierda a derecha y puede lanzar balas en forma de anzuelo el problema es que no puedo integrar la animación de cuando saca la caña siempre que le doy a n se queda estático sin mostrar la animación adjunto código que use (copie) no se nada del lenguaje xd lo hago por un proyecto de grado xd extends KinematicBody2D const moveSpeed = 25 const maxSpeed = 50 const jumpHeight = -300 const up = Vector2(0,-1) const gravity = 15 onready var sprite = $Sprite onready var animationPlayer = $AnimationPlayer onready var preBullet = preload ("res://escena//bullet.tscn") var motion = Vector2() func _physics_process(_delta): motion.y +=gravity var friction=false if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"): sprite.flip_h = false animationPlayer.play("Walk") motion.x = min(motion.x + moveSpeed, maxSpeed) elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): sprite.flip_h = true animationPlayer.play("Walk") motion.x = max(motion.x - moveSpeed, -maxSpeed) else: animationPlayer.play("Idle") friction = true if is_on_floor(): if friction ==true: motion.x = lerp(motion.x,0,0.5) else: if friction ==true: motion.x=lerp(motion.x,0,0.01) motion = move_and_slide(motion,up); if Input.is_action_just_released("leftClick"): var bullet = preBullet.instance() get_parent().add_child(bullet) bullet.position = self.position bullet.rotate(self.rotation) if Input.is_action_pressed("n"): animationPlayer.play("launch")

Very useful, thanks!

Thank you! Very useful!
