Godot Version: 4.3

Question: Help please!! I’m trying my best at coding a my first game in godot. I’m trying to do a flappybird clone game, I’m working on the script of the bird but when I jump it rotates upwards but it doesn’t rotate to downwards. I dunno what is wrong with the code… any help would be apreciate it!!

Here is what I have done

extends CharacterBody2D

class_name Bird

@export var gravity = 900.0
@export var jump_force = -300
@export var rotation_speed = 2

@onready var animation_player: AnimationPlayer = $AnimationPlayer

var max_speed = 400

var is_started = false

func _ready():
velocity = Vector2.ZERO

func _physics_process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“jump”):
if !is_started:
is_started = true
jump()

if !is_started:
	return

velocity.y += gravity * delta

velocity.y = min(velocity.y, max_speed)

move_and_collide(velocity * delta)
rotate_bird

func jump():
velocity.y = jump_force
rotation = deg_to_rad(-30)

func rotate_bird():
if velocity.y > 0 and rad_to_deg(rotation) < 90:
rotation += rotation_speed * deg_to_rad(1)

elif velocity.y < 0 && rad_to_deg(rotation) > -30:
	rotation -= rotation_speed * deg_to_rad(1)

Doesn’t seem like you are calling the rotate_bird function. You may be getting a warning along the lines of “Statement has no effect”.

Without parenthesis rotate_bird merely states that the function exists and does not call it.

move_and_collide(velocity * delta)
rotate_bird() # must have parenthesis to act

Make sure to properly format pastes
