[Lập trình Game] Lesson 5: Programming character movements

As you know, every game has a character and most 2D games have a main character who is generally the character you control for ease of understanding. Today I will guide you to create character movements. This article includes 2 parts as well as 2 types of character creation. Why are there 2 parts? Because it depends on your assets because most of the time there are 2 types of assets: 1 type is movement according to each image and 1 type is movement located all in 1 image.

You need to study from lesson 0 to this lesson to fully understand the instructions Game programming with Godot okay.

And without further ado, let's get started

Character Animation:

I will guide you to do type 1 first.

Let's get started:

First: Delete Sprite old and created for yourself AnimatedSprite

AnimatedSprite: A node that can use many image textures to create movement

Here I guide you to use my assets and if any of your assets are different from mine and are in the same category as below, you can apply. It has many separate photos

Player download link

Please download and put it in the game folder

Next we will create the character

Click on AnimatedSprite and change the name to Player, then on the right side of Player there is a setting column in the Frames section to create a new Frame for yourself.

Then click on the newly created SpriteFramse and a table will appear (click like a tilemap).

Here you can see on the left there is the word default, you can delete it and create a new animation

Click as shown to create new Animations

Create 4 for yourself: Idle – Run – Jump – Fall

In Idle, drag all the folders into it

Do the same with the other parts

And in the Jump section

Pay attention to mines anim8 and anim11

Anim8 is jump and anim11 is fall, why? Because 8 is when you jump and 11 is when you land. You can do the same with other assets. If you don't understand, you can inbox me or go to Group Anonyviet Community to ask.

If your character is blurry like an image from Import back into 2D pixels

Please change each one in the FIlesystem section

After editing, our character will be sharpened again

And we are done with the Character Creation part. Next is the Coding part

And you can adjust the collsion for yourself

Game character movement code

And I will guide you through coding for character movements. Your game character can move according to the keys you programmed.

Partless script > character

Give me the code to add the following part

Line: 12 – 13 – 16 – 17 – 20 – 24 -25 -26- 27 – 28

And below I will explain to you

$Player: means you call Node in the script section using $ to call any Node in a Node

$Player.play(): is you run the Animation you did just now

$Player.flip_h: is it helps you turn left and right if you try removing these 2 lines and then running the game moving left + right you will see something different than if you don't remove these 2 lines

From line 24 > line 28 is a piece of code that helps you jump while still being able to apply animations.

After running the game we will have a complete character:

In the next episode, I will guide you to create friction to control your speed. When you move, you will see it running really fast, so there will be another thing: friction.
