Wrap your code in triple back-ticks ```[code]``` and tell us which line the error is in.

You need to indent the code inside your functions with a tab.

When I indent it says Line 4:Unexpected “Indent” in class body. with some more errors

7

Paste the code here again, but use preformatted text functionality please wrapping your code with ```
And please list all errors, we can’t help you if we don’t know what you’re dealing with.

Your code has a bunch of indentation issues:

  1. DO NOT indent your _physics_process() function line. You didn’t, so I’m just reiterating.
  2. DO indent the contents of your _physics_process() function.
  3. DO NOT indent your conditional statements beyond 1 tab (in this case). This includes the else.
  4. DO indent the contents of your conditionals 1 tab beyond the conditional indentation.

You haven’t indented almost any of your code.
Please study this article about how GDscript code is supposed to look like, then correct yours with proper indentation.

I idented however the errors still appear the code is from a youtube video which is supposed to animate the player is idle running and jumping

You’re still not indenting it correctly :slight_smile: and now you don’t even have any function declaration. See below how it should look like, at least I think from the scraps of information I have, and assuming the code itself is correct.

const SPEED = 300.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -400.0

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
# Add the gravity.
	if not is_on_floor():
		 velocity += get_gravity() * delta

	# Handle jump.
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept") and is_on_floor():
		 velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY

	# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
	# As good pactice, you should replace UI actions with custom gameplay actions.
	var direction := Input.get_axis("left", "right")
	if direction:
		velocity.x = direction * SPEED
	else:
		velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
	if direction > 0:			
		animated_sprite,flip_h = false
	elif direction < 0:
		animated_sprite.flip_h = true
	# Apply Movement
	if direction:
		velocity.x = direction * SPEED
	else:
		velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)

	move_and_slide()

Thank you the indenting you did is correct however is still pops up with some error messages

17

Line 7:Mixed use of tabs and spaces for indentation.Line 11:Mixed use of tabs and spaces for indentation.Line 30:Unindent doesn’t match the previous indentation level.Line 30:Mixed use of tabs and spaces for indentation.Line 32:Expected end of file.

18

As the error says - you can’t mix spaces and tabs for indentation, so change all spaces in the indentations for tabs. I’m on mobile so I can’t see which are spaces and which tabs, but in the Godot Editor you should see the difference.

19

I just got it down to one error now it just says Line 11:Mixed use of tabs and spaces for indentation.

Okay I just did what you said and it worked thank you
