Camera and movements issue

[prime cove]

I have created a player with CharacterBody2D added CollisionShape2D and AnimatedSprite2D to it also added touch screen button for touch controls. And everything was working perfectly until I added Camera2D to the player.
After adding it I am facing this issues.

1. The camera won't follow the player no matter what I do.

2. If I try to enable the camera from script in ready function using func _ready():
   $Camera2D.make_current()
   The player will get stuck in a single spot but the movement and animations work.

3. If I force to manually using
   $Camera2D.position = position in physics process the movements and animations are reversed but the camera won't follow the player.
   Finally if delete the Camera2D everything works fine.

My Script

The player will get stuck in a single spot but the movement and animations work.
are there any objects other than the player in the scene?

[flat crystal]

any visible ones

[prime cove]

Objects not only those shown in image above

[flat crystal]

in the scene that you're playing

just anything that you can see other than the player

[prime cove]

I have a world scene added player to it as a child in it nothing except player

[flat crystal]

add something to it

just any visible object

[prime cove]

Hmm u mean add a sprite or something to the word scene?

[flat crystal]

yea

[prime cove]

OK I will please wait

Done

[flat crystal]

now try moving around

[prime cove]

Nope same thing

[flat crystal]

is the camera a child of the player?

[prime cove]

Yes

[flat crystal]

are you sure your speed variable isn't set to 0

[prime cove]

Maybe please check this

[flat crystal]

press on the instance of the player in the scene

[prime cove]

It's 300

[flat crystal]

in player.tscn or in world.tscn

[prime cove]

Player

[flat crystal]

check it in world.tscn

[prime cove]

World I did added any script to it

Only for player

[flat crystal]

check the instance of the player in world.tscn

[prime cove]

Wait

I did it checked and re added again but same issue

I will send the project zip can please see tell me where it went wrong

[flat crystal]

what is the console printing while you're moving?

[prime cove]

I did debugging it player position numbers are changing and physics_process is running

[flat crystal]

the position is changing?

[prime cove]

Ya In debugger but when I try to move it gets stucks but movements running turning and animations works like in the video above

[flat crystal]

the sprites you added aren't children of the player right?

[prime cove]

No

Here is full project

I attached it

To the player like everyone

[flat crystal]

can't open it right now sorry

[prime cove]

OK please do when you have time

[prime cove]

U mean Sprites yes they are sorry I read it as scripts

[flat crystal]

did you add a visible sprite inside of the player's view?

[prime cove]

Yes AnimatedSprite2D and animated them to

[flat crystal]

that is separate and doesn't move with the player

[prime cove]

No

[flat crystal]

do that

[prime cove]

Hmm? How

[flat crystal]

by adding a srprite

literally any visible object that is not a child of the player

and is close to it

[prime cove]

OK I got it

I did it

[flat crystal]

you added it inside the player scene

you need to do it in the world scene

[prime cove]

And it's not a child of player

[prime cove]

Already did

[flat crystal]

now try moving around

[prime cove]

No not working

And whenever I try to add a visible sprite to the world node/scene it is automatically becoming it's child

And by the way it's a 2d top down game.

[flat crystal]

you need to have the world scene open, not the player scene

you can see it at the top

it shows you have the player scene open

[flat crystal]

player.tscn is your main scene instead of world.tscn

which means that when you run the game, it runs the player scene

[prime cove]

So do I have change it in project settings

[prime cove]

Did you check my project?

[flat crystal]

i looked in the bottom left

its name is highlighted in blue

if you press on world.tscn then there's an option to make it the main scene

[prime cove]

Ok i will do it now will it work

I did as you told but no use

[flat crystal]

in the screenshot the sprite is still a child of the player

all you need is a static point of reference that doesn't follow the camera

[prime cove]

U mean stat2d node or a sprite2d node?

[flat crystal]

literally anything that is visible

and doesn't follow the camera

[prime cove]

Ok

I added a 2d node as root screen to static but not working

[flat crystal]

i give up

[prime cove]

It's working thanks

But can I hide that image?

[flat crystal]

you just need something to see that you're actually moving
you can't see movement if there's no point of reference
you just need anything visible other than the player that doesn't move with it how many times do i gotta tell this to you

[prime cove]

Ok i will change the Sprite to mix in with the background then thanks for the help

[flat crystal]

it can be any sprite doesn't have to be that specific one
