`This problem might be too easy but ye i cant figure it out , I’m having a player script that spawns a projectile scene (bullet) whenever mouse left button is clicked, the spawn position of the bullet is handled via a marker2D node here is the scripts:
player script:
extends CharacterBody2D
const SPEED = 300.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -400.0 @export var projectile_scene : PackedScene @export var fire_rate: float = 0.2
var can_shoot : bool = true
func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed(“shoot”) and can_shoot:
shoot()
func shoot():
if not can_shoot:
return
func _physics_process(delta: float) → void:
velocity.y = 0
if not is_on_floor():
velocity += get_gravity() * delta
var direction := Input.get_axis(“ui_left”, “ui_right”)
if direction:
velocity.x = direction * SPEED
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
move_and_slide()
and here is the projectile script:
extends Node2D @export var speed: float = 500.0 @export var lifetime : float = 2.0
var direction: Vector2 = Vector2.ZERO
func _ready() → void:
await get_tree().create_timer(lifetime).timeout
queue_free()
func _process(delta: float) → void:
position += direction * speed * delta
sorry im new here so i didnt know , the problem is what i expected to happen is the bullet spawns in the same position of the marker2D and then start moving but its not spawning in the same position of the market2D
Here is the scripts with the right foramtting:
player :
const SPEED = 300.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -400.0
@export var projectile_scene : PackedScene
@export var fire_rate: float = 0.2
var can_shoot : bool = true
func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed("shoot") and can_shoot:
shoot()
func shoot():
if not can_shoot:
return
var projectile = projectile_scene.instantiate()
projectile.position = $Marker2D.global_position
var mouse_position = get_global_mouse_position()
projectile.direction = (get_global_mouse_position() - $Marker2D.global_position).normalized()
add_child(projectile)
print("Marker2D Position: ", $Marker2D.global_position)
print("Projectile Position: ", projectile.position)
can_shoot = false
await get_tree().create_timer(fire_rate).timeout
can_shoot = true
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
velocity.y = 0
move_and_slide()
here is the projectile script :
@export var speed: float = 500.0
@export var lifetime : float = 2.0
var direction: Vector2 = Vector2.ZERO
func _ready() -> void:
await get_tree().create_timer(lifetime).timeout
queue_free()
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
position += direction * speed * delta
Here it may be better to use add_sibling(projectile), if the projectile is a child of the player it will move with them even after being shot. i.e. walking the player left shouldn’t move all of their bullets left as well.
