Changing the gravity for a characterbody2d

Help

Godot Version 4.3

How do I change this

if not is_on_floor():
velocity += get_gravity() * delta

to where the gravity is a changeable variable?
Please and thank you :slight_smile:

I think it uses the Gravity you have setup in your Project Settings.
You can also just use your own gravity value:

const GRAVITY = 9.8

func _physics_process(delta):
    if not is_on_floor():
        velocity += GRAVITY * delta

When I try to make a var or a const for gravity, this pops up

Shouldnt it be velocity.y += ? Velocity is a Vector2, so if you create a float and try and assign it as a value to a vector2 it doesnt work.

Or you make your gravity a Vector2 var.

Velocity.y += gravity * delta

2D physics gravity is defined in the project settings. The get_gravity function returns a vector that usually results in this default value, but can be manipulated by Area2Ds with gravity overrides.
