Make sure to format your code pastes

Make it easier for new users to format and preview code in their posts

Posting here so to be linked for later use instead of re-typing this every time Make sure you paste scripts instead of screenshots. To properly format pasted code use three ticks ``` at the start and end of your paste like so: ``` # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void:     print("My ready function!") ``` Results in: # type or paste code here func _ready() -> void: print("My ready function!") Press the </> button or ctrl+e in the forum to create these ticks. [2024-09-02…

Knockback is a common issue with the character body template, the player needs to accelerate towards their target SPEED rather than be set instantly to it.

@Neonsise

if direction:
velocity.x = direction * SPEED
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)

Should change to something like this

const ACCELERATION = 1500

var target_velocity: Vector2 = direction * SPEED
velocity = velocity.move_toward(target_velocity, ACCELERATION * delta)
