<@&1235162294586048574>

[drifting lance]

You’re allowed to post screenshots of your game to help explain what needs debugging

[devout apex]

wait okay i might have figured it out while i sent the post i think it has something to do with y origin

thing is idk where to put it on my eg

wait nevermind

[drifting lance]

If you’re pinging for tech help though, the moderator ping is only for when people are breaking the rules

We have a happy to help role which can be pinged but we ask you wait at least an hour after posting a thread and trying to get help

[devout apex]

ohhh okay

shoot

my bad

[drifting lance]

Sorry I initially misunderstood

You’re good

[devout apex]

i just have a question with the y origin thing

on my egg i can send a photo

[drifting lance]

So there is already options for z and y sorting in godot that just need to be toggled on. What might be the issue is draw order or the origin point not making sense

Go ahead

[devout apex]

yeah it works now but i dont understnad why the origin has to be so high on my egg

[drifting lance]

Yeah it’s way too high up see

[devout apex]

where should i put it

[drifting lance]

Put the origin where you think it would be touching the ground (towards the bottom middle of the egg)

[devout apex]

Okay

do i need to make an orgin for my player as well

or not really

[drifting lance]

I don’t have power right now so I can’t be of more help than that

You do

[devout apex]

Okay

[drifting lance]

Everything in your game needs an origin point if you want any sort of rotation or depth sorting to affect it

[devout apex]

wait when i made the egg origin lower it does this

[drifting lance]

Otherwise it doesn’t matter too much aside from maybe grid snapping

[devout apex]

when i get close to the egg

[drifting lance]

What’s the origin on the player

[devout apex]

maybe its that

Thank you!

[drifting lance]

No worries 😊

Keep it up you’re doing great

[devout apex]

wait quick question how can i adjust the origin of the player

im using an animated sprite

[drifting lance]

When you go into your player scene there’s a little marker where the centre of the object is

If I’m not mistaken by default that’s your origin point

[devout apex]

\

[drifting lance]

I have no power so I can’t double check

[devout apex]

is it the little orange thing i nthe middle

[drifting lance]

It’s near her left shoulder

It’s a little grey +

[devout apex]

ahh i see now

[drifting lance]

Where the green and red lines intersect

Yeah

[devout apex]

so ill just move her

so it works

[drifting lance]

Try moving your player so their feet are closer to that and it’s in the middle

Yeah

Give it a try at least

If it’s not like I said I have no power so you’ll have to wait for someone else to help

[devout apex]

Okay i dont think its working

should i use the other ping

[drifting lance]

Try looking it up a bit “how to change player origin in godot” and if you can’t find anything and no one responds for a bit then you can give it a try

[devout apex]

okay wait i think i got it

[drifting lance]

Make sure you’ve updated the player in the scene and saved it correctly

[devout apex]

it was the orange cross i believe

yipeeee

okay im going to build my map now

[drifting lance]

🙌

Well done!

[devout apex]

Thank you Studio
