Godot 4.4
I want to add tree cutting system in my game and i just don't understand how to add that axe, because i don't want to make axes animation like just changing its rotation degree to look like its cutting but also it will be very hard for me to draw every position of my pixel art character because i will need to draw idle with axe, run with axe and so on... so is there any other way to do this or just maybe easier way ?
And why is that? That’s the proper way to do it.
Ideally, you wouldn’t rotate the axe directly, but rather reparent it to the hand, and then rotate the hand.
Okay i was thinking about that too but it will look wrong too, because the body remains static but the hand with axe is moving ) so if there is no other ways i will create all animations,
For example in this video https://youtube.com/shorts/4UC_TzBckwI?si=hHoZYe16iWkKMkNv
i don’t think he is using different animations but it is looking cool, he is only changing the swords angle or positions, but idk maybe with tree cutting it will look wrong ?
I don’t see any other way to make the character and the axe moving, other than making an animation that animates both the hand and the rest of the character’s body.
You could reuse that animation, e.g. with fighting, if you plan on implementing fighting in your game. Tree cutting and sword swinging are usually very similar in terms of movement.
Okay thanks for help!
