Velocity of body isn't what is set in code

Question

I have a script for a basic flappy-bird movement.
But even if I comment out the jump function and gravity function, the move_and_slide method still makes the bird go up

This is the relevant code:

func _physics_process(delta):
	if not is_on_floor():
		#velocity.y += gravity * delta
		pass
      if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
		jump()
      move_and_slide()
func jump():
	#velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
        pass

the real problem I think is that something else is changing the body’s velocity because when I print it to the console is like this (95.85297, -6.973267)

2

move_and_slide will update the velocity, this is affected by linear_damp etc.

3

So should I like set them to zero in _ready? I am in not changing those values so I really dont know why velocity should be affected

Set them in the editor I’d say, but you also need to set the linear_damp_mode or it’ll override it with the global one, read more details there

Are you using a Character body or a Rigid body? Move and slide does not work on a rigid body and a character body does not have a way to set linear_damp

My fault here, failed to mention flappy is a Characterbody 2D, so (I think? Just looking at the docs) it doesnt have linear_dump

also, dunno if is gonna help, if I change the motion mode to floating flappy only goes upwards, but if I change it to grounded it goes upwards and towards the left

You don’t need to do anything with the motion mode. I just tested the code you posted with jump and gravity commented out and it works as expected. The body does not move.

Unless I see your project, it’s diffusion to find the bug.

Is there any way to send the project? (Also it takes my responses sooo long to get approved like whatttt)

This forum was under a quite heavy spam attack, so we now require posts of new users to be approved by staff. This changes automatically once you have interacted a bit with the community (and you reach trust level 1 because of that). I have set your trust level to 1 manually right now since you are clearly human :grin:

Thank you so much :slight_smile:

in move_and_slide you forgot to write the “s”.

I cant find which move_and_slide you are refferring to, this one has the ‘s’

oh, I’m sorry, you’re right, it seems that Google Translate played a trick on me. It’s spelled correctly without a translator.

Ill try recoding the script from scratch but other than that I havent got any more ideas, maybe ill paste the scene in a new project and see if the issue persists

16

Have you found a solution yet?

17

I know what doesn’t work, the problem was in another script entirely, the problem is I dont really know why it doesn’t work.
Thank you all for your patience and sorry that I didnt really give the correct information :slight_smile:
