I'd like to a make a basic platformer with combat.

I'm making a project with some friends and I need help figuring out how to make movement and combat, I see these other posts and feel a bit dumb... 😭
I know this is a broad topic, but any help on what YOU think would be greatly appreciated! ☺️

For the record, it's 2-D and I have no idea what to do besides use a dream.

This is a good spot to start.

Also, Basic Character2D nodes have a build-in movement script you can attach to them

Oh, how do I access that?

I think the Brackeys tutorial should have shown this as well. But when you attach a script to the Body. Somewhere in the little window for the script attachment you can choose what template you want, and empty one a default one, that holds a ready, and process function, and ( for character body2D ) you can attach a movement template into it

Im not on my pc so I can show you in detail:(

The fact that you take the time to attempt an explanation is very much so still appreciated! I already feel kinda silly doing this, but it's progress I guess. Thank you Illuminor, I hope I can find this script soon!

No problem

Since im on my PC rn i might as well show it to you. It uses the Arrow keys and space and enter for the inputs. But you can change that by changing the input in project settings.

That is... shockingly simple. Thank you very much, this should help cut down on time!

Update: I managed to get through the entire tutorial with minimal issues! I wanna add something like walljumping or a double jump. Maybe the death animation.
