Question

Hello, i am trying to create a geometry dash like game in godot, but the only problem that I have is creating the script for the orbs, I am not that good in GDscript

You basicly have to check if the player is colliding with an orb to allow a jump mid air. I would suggest to use an Area2D node as a child of your player to detect when an orb enteres/leaves the players area. The orbs will have an Area2D as their range as well which has to be in a group called “orb”:

extends CharacterBody2D

@export var orb_detection_area : Area2D

const jump_height : int = 100
const gravity : float = 10

var level_velocity : int

func jump():
	if is_on_floor() or is_touching_orb():
		velocity.y = -sqrt(2 * gravity * jump_height)

func _physics_process(delta):
	velocity.y += gravity * delta
	if is_on_floor():
		velocity.y = gravity
	
	velocity.x = level_velocity
	
	move_and_slide()


func is_touching_orb() -> bool:
	if orb_detection_area.has_overlapping_areas():
		return false
	
	for area : Area2D in orb_detection_area.get_overlapping_areas():
		if area.is_in_group("orb"):
			return true
	
	return false

Your hierarchy:

|--CharacterBody2D (player)
   |--CollisionSHape2D (your players collider)
   |--Area2D (orb_detection_area)
      |--CollisionShape2D (use a CircleShape2D as shape)


|--Node2D (orb)
   |--Area2D (orb's range, has to be in group "orb"!)
       |--CollisionShape2D (use a CircleShape2D as shape)
   |--Sprite2D (your orbs sprite)
