I think these kinds of games usually separate their simulation from their regular update and render loops. That allows them to rapidly update the sim while keeping a normal framerate for rendering. Tw …

find_child docs say: Node find_child ( String pattern, bool recursive=true, bool owned=true ) const ... If owned is true, this method only finds nodes who have an assigned owner. This is especially i …

How to get nested child node without using full path? I tried with just node name, it doesn't work. The script is on top level so the path is quite long: dialogText = GetNodeOrNull<RichTextLabel>("VBo …

The simplest way is Node.find_child(), but that does a search each time it's called which can be slow.* When you're done prototyping, you'll want to change to another method. You could do a Unique Nam …

Usually, a good place to start is the godot demos. There's a 3D Navigation demo with a character moving along ramps and multiple levels. However, only the Godot 3.x version of that demo uses NavAgents …

You could use a tween to bounce the camera when you land. That requires two things: detecting when you land bouncing the camera Modifying MovementController.gd in the template you're using to someth …

I want to position a 3D object at my mouse cursor. How can I do that in Godot? In Unity, I'd use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint.

Camera3D.project_position is the Godot equivalent function. Here's an implementation that can either move the position with fixed orientation or can also point the cursor object. I'm using _g to indic …

How do I know if a node is in within a navigation rectangle? I am working on an enemy spawner that puts enemies off screen but I need to pick positions where the enemies will actually work (read: on a …

I'd find the closest point (NavigationServer3D.map_get_closest_point()) and check the distance between them. If it's on the map, the distance would be approximately zero. Also, that likely gives you a …

When I'm placing objects on tiles in my TileMap, they snap to positions that aren't on my tile's grid. I drag my object to the middle of the grid square, but it keeps snapping to the corners. I'm talk …

Godot snaps to the grid guidelines and not the cells between them. So you won't snap to the middle of the square that you're dragging to. That's because you're snapping the position of the object (tha …

My current solution is to remove @export from these derived values: ## Height in world units. @export_range(1, 160) var jump_height: float = TILE_SIZE * 4 ## Height in tile count. var jump_tiles: floa …

I have some platformer code to make my character jump based on height. I'd like to be able to tune it in the editor using both world units or number of tiles. I can do this with setters: extends Chara …

You should be able to adjust the Y-Sort Origin of the top tiles to be at the same y position as the bottom tiles. That way all four tiles will get y sorted the same and behave the same relative to the …
