I followed all the steps in the video and corrected any errors along the way. However, I’m running into an issue where velocity.x = x isn’t affecting the x coordinates as it should. I’ve double-checked the numbers and confirmed that all functions are correctly passing to jump_side().
In the fragment, it’s supposed to push the player back when his collide with an enemy
20:38
Maybe the x-value is getting overwritten by some other code?
here is the console where Im checking character velocity in time:
zero is nothin
400 moving
500 is setting direction to push away from enemy
so its changed, but in short time, might be need to increase the setting time using timer However, this may prevent the character from moving.
Can you show your script? Make sure to paste with formatting, the </> button or ctrl+e in the forum will create three ticks for you like so
```
type or paste code here

There’s a function called jump_side that accepts a variable as its input., in the second part on 27 line. im calling this function
Entire setup serves as a signal for when the character collides with an enemy.

Your player sets their velocity in _physics_process; if you want jump_side to affect velocity then your movement here must be calculated as an acceleration instead of abruptly setting speed. move_toward is good, but used somewhat incorrectly here, the third parameter being SPEED means it will slow down by the player’s maximum speed every frame, essentially instantly.
Try this, the player will accelerate to full speed in about a quarter second
var direction := Input.get_axis("left_move", "right_move")
var acceleration := SPEED * delta * 4
if direction:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, direction * SPEED, acceleration)
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, acceleration)
In the video they had this changed to 12 instead of SPEED, it is still a frame-dependent value and doesn’t fix the issue if the player is moving while getting hit.
else:
velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, 12)
