`I messing around with physic and rotate function to create some dynamic geometry movements , but I can’t get full understanding how to organise scenes, nodes to achieve desired result :
Two Sprites, one rotate and move in direction , other move along without rotation .
Code for Wheelie currently ( I know it got lot of repetition , not good practice but for now want to figure out how it works )
extends CharacterBody2D
var target_position: Vector2
var moving_to_click := false
var speed := 600
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
var direction = Input.get_vector("ui_left", "ui_right", "ui_up", "ui_down")
if direction != Vector2.ZERO:
moving_to_click = false
velocity = direction * speed
else:
if moving_to_click:
var move_dir = (target_position - global_position).normalized()
velocity = move_dir * speed
var angle = move_dir.angle()
if angle < PI/4:
rotate(-0.1)
move_and_slide()
elif angle > PI/4 and angle < 3*PI/4:
rotate(-0.1)
move_and_slide()
elif angle < -PI/4 and angle > -3*PI/4:
rotate(0.1)
move_and_slide()
else:
rotate(0.1)
move_and_slide()
if global_position.distance_to(target_position) < 5:
velocity = Vector2.ZERO
moving_to_click = false
else:
velocity = Vector2.ZERO
if direction == Vector2.UP:
move_and_slide()
rotate(0.1)
if direction == Vector2.DOWN:
move_and_slide()
rotate(-0.1)
if direction == Vector2.RIGHT:
move_and_slide()
rotate(-0.1)
if direction == Vector2.LEFT:
move_and_slide()
rotate(0.1)
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event is InputEventMouseButton and event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT and event.pressed:
target_position = get_global_mouse_position()
moving_to_click = true
I tried to create scene for body and scene for player to control it with script but this was collide with each other body -
short demonstration
desired effect eyes stay in centre without rotate , only body will move based on direction ( clockwise and anticlockwise)
Do you want the Wheel to be a seperate character? That seems like a bad idea so far, you may be better off with the wheel as a Sprite2D. It is rarely a good idea to have physics bodies, such as CharacterBody2D as children of each other.
Sure, one rotates, but I don’t think they need to be separate “bodies” to the game. A circular sprite can rotate while the collision information stays the same.
yes for now this was idea to achieve ,need to build enemies, environment and test some other things modifications to get better understanding nodes, how to stack them .
Could add some rotation curve in future , but not sure how to do it yet .
