Player Charatcer Not Moving Even When Sprite Changes

[nova compass]

First time using Godot and I'm following this video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBoXqW4RykE&list=PL3cGrGHvkwn0zoGLoGorwvGj6dHCjLaGd&index=1
Made it to the end and even though the player sprite responds to inputs, it only stands in place. What I mean is the sprite updates based on input (facing down, up, left, right) but doesn't actually move from the same spot. I think I messed up when setting the speed somehow? Or something may be indented under the wrong thing...? Any help is appreciated, and feel free to ping me!

Hmm. I don’t see anything wrong with it at first glance. But this does look like a wierd way to make your movement code.

You could try placing the play animation function all the way to the last line of your movement parts. So after setting the velocity you can call that function.

[calm edge]

Oh wait. Have you set a camera on your character by any chance??!

[nova compass]

…camera?

[nova compass]

sorry could you explain-

i don’t remember seeing that in the video but i may have missed it

[calm edge]

Its just that a camera centers you player in the middle. And if you have no background then you can’t tell if he is moving.

[calm edge]

Just place all the play animation functions two lines down. Maybe that will help

But can you show me some footage of how it looks for you?

[nova compass]

on closer inspection it isn't using the full animation cycle, just the first frame (there should be 6)

[nova compass]

ohh so it like, gives you visual reference?

[calm edge]

If you don’t use camera it’s better to see the movement

[calm edge]

Can you show my all your process functions

[nova compass]

process functions? (i am sorry this really is my first day)

[nova compass]

ohh do you mean in the script?

everything i made should be in the screenshots

[calm edge]

No problem I found it

Can you show me a video of what is happening

Like a footage of when you run it

[nova compass]

like this?

[calm edge]

Could you do it as a video. I can’t open this file

[nova compass]

oh mb

one sec

[nova compass]

turns out up and down weren't working either

but yeah the sprite just flips left and right

[calm edge]

How about you put all your player movement code inside the process function rather than calling that function

[nova compass]

as in deleting the "func player_movement"

?

[dreamy oar]

move and slide is indented

its in your else statement

[nova compass]

ohh

I CAN MOVE NOW

it's just the sprite that's still a bit off

but i can (probably) figure that one out

it's crazy how one indent can mess with everything...
