Uhh Soo…

I’ve Been working on a New Enemy.

extends CharacterBody2D

@export var speed: float = 80.0
@export var stop_distance: float = 16
@export var health: int = 3

var player: Node2D = null
var is_following: bool = false
var is_flashing: bool = false

@onready var sprite: Sprite2D = $Sprite2D
@onready var detection_area: Area2D = $DetectionArea

func _ready() → void:
detection_area.connect(“body_entered”, Callable(self, “_on_detection_entered”))
detection_area.connect(“body_exited”, Callable(self, “_on_detection_exited”))

func _process(delta: float) → void:
if not is_following or not player:
return

var direction = (player.global_position - global_position)
var distance = direction.length()
if distance > stop_distance:
	direction = direction.normalized()
	global_position += direction * speed * delta  # manual movement

# Flip sprite
if direction.x != 0:
	sprite.flip_h = direction.x < 0

-------------------

Detection

-------------------

func _on_detection_entered(body: Node) → void:
if body.is_in_group(“Player”):
player = body
is_following = true

func _on_detection_exited(body: Node) → void:
if body == player:
player = null
is_following = false

-------------------

Damage + white flash

-------------------

func take_hit() → void:
if is_flashing:
return
health -= 1
print(“Enemy hit! Health =”, health)
flash_white()
if health <= 0:
die()

func flash_white() → void:
if is_flashing:
return
is_flashing = true
sprite.modulate = Color(1,1,1,1)
await get_tree().create_timer(0.1).timeout
sprite.modulate = Color(1,1,1,1)
is_flashing = false

func die() → void:
queue_free()

It always Glitches Out :frowning:

Are u Working on a new game now that ur done with WOMBO!

31

how did you go about the idea and the beginning of your game and development? I would like to develop a game myself so it would be nice to hear your thoughts

One evening, I was doomscrolling when my older brother suggested that I try programming. I initially said no, but then he mentioned game development. I thought about it and agreed to give it a try. He recommended using Godot or Lua, and I chose Godot. So, I sat down and watched a Brackeys tutorial. ALSO WATCH GOODGIS! His vids helped me ALOT.

Sherk,why you post every code of the game? are you making it open source?

if then don’t forget to give the sprites and whole godot project xD

Hey, you got discord? I am also tryna make a Metroidvania but then gave up due to being new to game dev, I would like to learn from you.

I don’t have a Discord account and I won’t be getting one anytime soon because I’m 12 years old and btw i’m still a Noob One tip I can give is to not set overly ambitious goals but instead be creative and add new ideas whenever you can.

37

Well I post the code for criticism, and i will be posting sprites

Very nice, mr Shrek. I am very into developing a game right now. Sometimes at my 9-5 job I think i don’t really like programming, but I just don’t like this corporate environment. I’m very pleased with the idea of creating a game.

It would be great to know wut ur games about

The screenshot of the map and sprites look really cool dude!

I had issues with hit flashes and colored telegraphs on enemy windups/attacks before and landed on using a shader for it. It seems like you’ve got a fix but it might be something worth looking into in the future if you run I to more issues.

Can’t wait for a demo, I hope the swamp level is in it… 8|
