Attention Topic was automatically imported from the old Question2Answer platform. Asked By rousbound I’m trying to make a character selection screen with two players. I basically need two rectangles hovering over a grid to select the chosen play. You can think of a grid composed with the following elements: TextureButton{ -TextureRect } Each texture rect is a character avatar, and I use the focus texture of the texture button t…

To create a 2-player character selection screen in Godot,

use an Autoload (Singleton) script to store player choices globally

. Design a UI scene where each player navigates selection buttons using distinct input actions (e.g., ui_up/down for P1, p2_up/down for P2). When a player confirms their choice, update the Autoload variables and transition to the game scene, where you spawn the selected character scenes based on those stored values.

Core Implementation Steps

• Global State Management: Create a script (e.g., GameData.gd) and add it to Project > Project Settings > Autoload. Define variables to hold the selection:

  gdscript

  # GameData.gd
  var player1_character = null
  var player2_character = null
  
  

• Input Handling: Define custom input actions in Project Settings > Input Map. Create separate actions for each player (e.g., p1_select, p2_select) to ensure their inputs do not conflict.

• Selection UI: Use TextureButton or Button nodes for characters. Connect the pressed signal to a function that assigns the chosen character to the corresponding variable in GameData.

• Syncing Selections: Use a counter or boolean flags in your selection scene to ensure both players have confirmed their choices before calling get_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://level.tscn").

• Spawning Characters: In your main game scene, check the GameData variables in the _ready() function. Use load() or preload() to instantiate the correct character scene and add it to the tree.
