Something is Very Wrong.

Hey! I tried out just the movement script part of this and found that the buck stopped with moving right if I pressed right first, and it wouldn't take any other input thereafter. So I think doing a list of if-statements like you have isn't doing you any good here.

I found the attached code to be much simpler and functional.

Exchange my "Forward" with "move_up", "Backwards" with move_down", Right with move_right and so on. (I just quickly tested this in a project where I already had an Input map set up.)

I had no problems with the player disappearing just based on the movement, so this is likely something to do with your animations, or triggering the hit function somehow.

Thank you. I'm not quite sure what to do with this, but should I replace the move_down, move_up etc. with the names of the directions in the input map for the player? Or additionally, should I replace that whole section with your bit of code that you sent me? Because I am working with what the tutorials document things gave me, and right now don't have the ability to come up with other ideas, since I'm still trying to get a grasp on the basics.

I see you spoke of a node (I assume seperate) should I add a node and attach a script to it, and have that node as a child of the player, and put the code on that?

I feel like I should have added before, I didn't encounter these problems until I tried to put the player in the "node" node called "node" initially, that I renamed to "main" because I had to set it as the main scene, and it has a lot of child nodes (3 of them are just timers and one is just an instance of the player) and they might have something to do with it.

Right now, I can't really go into the editor for this project, since I'm on a laptop right now, and I have only worked on my desktop for this.

I'm afraid I can't make much of what you're saying, that's a lot of confusing information without seeing screenshots and seeing what you mean 😅

I assume what you sent was the main player-movement script attached to whatever node is your player. So you can copy my code into your process function and delete the four if-statements for Input.

You must have set up an Input map in Project Settings > Input, and named your Input "move_down", "move_up", etc.

So in the Input.get_axis I proposed, instead of writing "Forward" as I did (which is my input name for "up"), you'll want to put "move-up", etc.

I tried adding this script to an area-2D node as it seemed that'swhat you had done. So it would be moving that area 2D, and a player sprite and collision object should be children of that area 2D.

Thanks, and thank you for still trying to help after having not understood my admittedly confusing words. Good day.

I don't don't really have a proper grasp on the correct terminology, so that doesn't help
