I want a delay in my script where the inertia of a jumping character decreased when wall jumping and they start to slide down the wall.
However I’m new to GDScript script and really struggling with coding a delay. Can anyone identify what is wrong here?
gd:18 - Parse Error: Invalid argument for “connect()” function: argument 3 should be “int” but is “Callable”.
My timer is called "DelayTimer" and it is connected to the script.
extends CharacterBody2D
# Constants
const GRAVITY = 30.0 # Gravity in pixels per second squared
const JUMP_POWER = -2000.0 # Jump power (negative value for upward force)
const SIDE_JUMP_POWER = 2500.0
const DELAY_TIME = 0.2
# Variables
var switchValue: int = 1
var currentGravity = 30.0
var delay_start_time: float = -1.0 # To track when the delay started
var is_delay_active: bool = false # To check if the delay is active
@onready var delay_timer = $DelayTimer
func _ready():
delay_timer.connect("timeout", self, _on_timer_timeout)
func _physics_process(delta):
# Apply gravity
velocity.y += currentGravity
# Handle jumping input
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_touch"): # and is_on_floor():
velocity.y = JUMP_POWER
currentGravity = 30
if switchValue == 0:
switchValue = 1
velocity.x = SIDE_JUMP_POWER
else:
switchValue = 0
velocity.x = - SIDE_JUMP_POWER
# Move the character and handle collisions
move_and_slide() # No arguments needed for move_and_slide in CharacterBody2D
# Optionally, check if on floor to reset jump logic or other conditions
if is_on_floor():
# Character is on the floor, adjust any necessary logic
pass
func _on_area_2d_body_entered(body):
if body.is_in_group("WallGrp"):
velocity.x = 0
velocity.y = 0
currentGravity = 0
is_delay_active = true # Activate the delay
delay_timer.start(DELAY_TIME)
func _on_timer_timeout():
# This function is called when the Timer times out
velocity.y += currentGravity
pass # Replace with function body.
