Question
I am new to Godot. I followed some tutorials and now trying to build something simple to see what I’ve learned so far.
I am making a very simple Platformer. I made an ‘Arrow’ scene, and now having issues with the ‘attack’ animation.
Before I added a timer, the attack was working (without showing the arrow, since I added the arrow later), but I had another animation that showed the attack was working.
I added the arrow scene/script, and i think it’s correct there, it’s pretty simple:
extends Area2D
var speed = 300
func _ready():
set_as_top_level(true)
func _physics_process(delta):
#position += (Vector2.RIGHT*speed).rotated(rotation) * delta
var direction = Vector2.RIGHT.rotated(rotation)
position += direction * speed * delta
func _on_visible_on_screen_enabler_2d_screen_exited():
queue_free()
And this is my player scene/script:
extends CharacterBody2D
var SPEED = 300.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -400.0
var bow_equipped = true
var bow_cooldown = 1.0
var arrow = preload("res://scenes/arrow.tscn")
# Get the gravity from the project settings to be synced with RigidBody nodes.
var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting("physics/2d/default_gravity")
var is_attacking = false
@onready var timer = $Timer
func _ready():
timer.wait_time = bow_cooldown # Directly set the wait_time property
timer.one_shot = true
timer.connect("timeout", Callable(self, "_on_cooldown_timeout"))
func _physics_process(delta):
# Add the gravity.
if not is_on_floor():
velocity.y += gravity * delta
# Handle jump.
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor():
velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
var direction = Input.get_axis("left", "right")
# Handle attack and movement logic
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("attack") and bow_equipped and is_on_floor():
is_attacking = true
SPEED = 0
Vector2(0, 0)
var arrow_instance = arrow.instantiate()
arrow_instance.rotation = $Marker2D.rotation
arrow_instance.global_position = $Marker2D.global_position
add_child(arrow_instance)
$AnimatedSprite2D.play("attack")
timer.start()
is_attacking = false
elif not Input.is_action_pressed("attack"):
is_attacking = false
if direction == 0:
$AnimatedSprite2D.play("idle")
if direction != 0:
$AnimatedSprite2D.play("walk")
if direction != 0 and not is_on_floor():
$AnimatedSprite2D.play("jump")
SPEED = 300
#flip character
if direction > 0:
$AnimatedSprite2D.flip_h = false
elif direction < 0:
$AnimatedSprite2D.flip_h = true
if direction:
velocity.x = direction * SPEED
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
move_and_slide()
func player():
pass
func _on_cooldown_timeout():
SPEED = 300
It’s giving me the following error: Invalid set index ‘wait_time’ (on base: ‘null instance’) with value of type ‘float’.
I read the documentation, and wait_time should accept the float value i gave to bow_cooldown, but I am pretty sure i must have missed something.
