alright one more thing i need help with

[viral current]

i seriously don't know how to do this

i thought i did and i attempted to but i just completely forgot how to do it

i have 2 seperate audio files that have the first footstep and the second

all i need help on is how to make it play while i'm walking

[opaque tusk]

You could check if the direction vector is higher than zero to play your footsteps

[viral current]

you mean this vector?

[opaque tusk]

Yeah, using input_dir, will make you play the walk sound when a key is pressed

[viral current]

well since i'm not a professional coder how exactly would i do that-

i'm not very good with coding just yet

[woeful crag]

You want to play the sound on any key pressed ?

[viral current]

yes

they're 2 different audios tho

[woeful crag]

if input_dir != Vector2.ZERO :
Play ur audio

[viral current]

where do i put that

[woeful crag]

[woeful crag]

Physics process

[viral current]

sorry-

[viral current]

thank u!!

[woeful crag]

Dw

[viral current]

what does this mean-

[woeful crag]

Input dir should be above

[viral current]

above whar,,?

[woeful crag]

var hello = hello <-- above
if hello: <----
print("hello")

[viral current]

ohhhh

ok i see

[woeful crag]

@viral current is it working

[viral current]

idek if i'm doing it right i'm really stupid

☹️

[woeful crag]

Copy paste ur code

[woeful crag]

Don't worry bro its completely alright

[viral current]

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
# Add the gravity.
if not is_on_floor():
velocity += get_gravity() * delta
var input_dir = "left"
if input_dir != Vector2.ZERO :
$AudioStreamPlayer.play()

i know this is probably wrong

it looks really wrong

idk what i'm doing man 😔

[woeful crag]

Very very wrong

[viral current]

so what do i do to make it right,,?

[woeful crag]

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
# Apply gravity
if not is_on_floor():
velocity += get_gravity() * delta

This is correct

Below this put this :
var input_dir = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")

var is_moving : bool = input_dir != Vector2.ZERO

[delicate spear]

I made an addon for this you can try: https://github.com/COOKIE-POLICE/godot-material-footsteps

[woeful crag]

if is_on_floor() and is_moving:
$AudioStreamPlayer.play()
Else:
$AudioStreamPlayer.stop()

[viral current]

i might try this another time

[viral current]

it says

"Cannot infer the type of 'is_moving' variable because the value doesn't have a set type."

[woeful crag]

I edited my msg

Look again

[viral current]

oh that worked

[woeful crag]

I know

You're Welcome

[viral current]

it says

"Expected indented block after 'if' block"

[woeful crag]

Im not the problem

You need to indent or unindent the if statement

Like press tabulation or remove one tabulation

[viral current]

i did but then it says "Expected statement, found 'else' instead"

[woeful crag]

Please learn godot basics...

sorry i can't help you with that

Im not enough smart to explain perfectly explain it

[viral current]

sorry i just started-

[woeful crag]

Same tabulation If
Same tabulation Elif
Same tabulation Else

Or :
Same tabulation If
Same tabulation Else

[viral current]

it has the same tabulation but for some reason it still says it

[pallid snow]

show your code

[viral current]

oh wait nvm i got it

wait nvm frick

i've been trying to get this to work for like 4-3 hours

[compact verge]

you have : bool at the end of the if statement you dont put a type there.

if is_on_floor() and is_moving:
  $AudioStreamPlayer.play()
else:
  $AudioStreamPlayer.stop()

[viral current]

i have bool there so "is_moving" can work

it doesn't work without it

[compact verge]

because youre declaring is_moving in the if above.

it loses scope once that if ends.

define var is_moving: bool in the class scope

[pallid snow]

put var is_moving: bool on very top of the script after extends and then delete var from the physics process function

[pallid snow]

and then this will work

[woeful crag]

nop...

[woeful crag]

Please never touch the editor again
Go watch some videos to understand how to code

I explained you how to do and you're still failing

[bleak bane]

calm down...

[delicate spear]

Ngl acceptable response, cuz as you can see in the picture bro actually doesn’t know basic syntax

[viral current]

i just started i'm not very good at stuff like this

[delicate spear]

It’s okay to not be that good when you start that said you have to know basic syntax at least which you don’t and like Taka said go watch some videos about gdscript basic syntax

[spice star]

If you're using an AnimationPlayer you can add keyframes that play the audio precisely when the foot touches the ground

[pallid snow]

you don't have to know that to start, i started without knowing and learned by just doing things

[woeful crag]

he defintely have to know basic syntax

very important

otherwhise you write some random shit that you don't understand and expect it to work

then ask in a discord server for help

[pallid snow]

but you can learn when someone corrects you, thats how i learned

[woeful crag]

So you expect everyone to learn from other people everytime ?

[pallid snow]

why? everyone can learn their own way

[woeful crag]

exactly, and thats not what he's doing

[pallid snow]

you don't have to be rude and tell how someone should learn

[woeful crag]

he asks for a prepared dish

he have to build it brick by brick

[pallid snow]

he deff not gonna learn when you tell him never touch editor again

[woeful crag]

he will def learn more sitting on his chair watching videos rather than writing some random text

tutorials are meant for that

so why not watch them

[pallid snow]

no you are wrong, everyone can learn their own way, there is no right or wrong way to learn things

[delicate spear]

So supposedly you’re supporting the method of learning called “bothering other people to help you learn basic syntax that you can learn in a few hours from a few videos.” Great to know. Like Taka said he clearly doesn’t understand the random text he is writing.

[spice star]

I also agree with Taka & Cookie
I am also new to Godot and I must have spent hours and hours in watching tutorials & reading the documentation. Unfortunately sometimes there's no good info on certain things, or we have a unique problem, that's why we ask on the forums, so those who have experience with that issue can help. But overall, it's better to learn basics first so you know what you're doing

[quiet dove]

@viral current learn basic python then start godot

[pallid snow]

i started godot without any programming knowledge, and learned by trying not watching tutorials

[quiet dove]

that doesnt make tutorials a bad thing

also OP is struggling with gdscript so python would be easier to begin with

[glacial quiver]

https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/?ref=godot-docs

[pallid snow]

and who is saying tutorials are bad? im just saying you don’t have to push a way to learn

[woeful crag]

It is often easier to transmit knowledge than to acquire it by your self

[bleak bane]

python is just as complex as GDScript. It isn't any easier to learn.

But a programming course that uses python would be useful since they will cover more general stuff than a GDScript one.

[quiet dove]

most gdscript tutorials begin with teaching stuff like nodes and gdscript's own stuff and will likely miss some of basic syntax, while python tutorials only teach syntax thats enough to move onto gdscript

[quiet dove]

not much people can learn like you did. of course people can learn in any way they want but i find this the easiest way

[glacial quiver]

imo, setting up the ide(vscode or whatever) + linting is most of the pita for python. not to mention the cryptic bloated error outputs and working with "terminal". ofc it doesnt hurt to learn it, but the ecosystem is different and that might be too overwhelming or even boring. with godot its all there. my 2 cents
