Question

`im trying to set up a combat system for my platformer where the hurtbox teleports to infront of the player when he attacks and then teleports into the pits of hell when he’s not and I wanna put it into a variable but Idk how i tried this: var mouse: Vector2 = 0, 0 but it just throws an error what do I do

You write var mouse: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0) instead.
Or var mouse := Vector2(0, 0), if you like it shorter and still type-safe.

thx alot

what about this?
if is_on_right_side == true:
hurtbox := Vector2(999999, 999999)

[gertkeno]

the colon : defines a new variable’s type, it only applies when creating a variable with var

# definition with implicit type
var hurtbox := Vector2(222,333)
# assignment, type has already been defined
hurtbox = Vector2(444,555)

oh lol thx

var yourvector = Vector2.ZERO works

[ratrogue]

Yes, but then yourvector is a Variant. I recommend strong typing as often as possible, to reduce bugs and increase performance.
