[Godot Shooter] #2: Create Characters & Shoot Bullets

In this article, I will guide you to create characters for Shooter game with Godot.

CREATE CHARACTERS

First of all, download the art.

Links: https://opengameart.org/content/animated-top-down-survivor-player

AnimatedSprite

First you delete the Sprite and then add yourself the AnimatedSprite node.

Then Create New Frame

Then add me

3 animations are : idle – move – shoot

Handgun – Rifle – Shotgun you can get inside

Drag them all into 3

Set CollisionShape2D again.

Code:

Next is the code. We will test if the player moves, it will run the animation move and stand still and run the animation idle, if it shoots, it will run the animation shoot.

Next because this is a shooter we have to let the character rotate in the direction of the mouse, then we have the command: look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

Next set the camera, let’s look at it easily:

Add the camera2D node in Zoom to make it easier to see guys.

WOMAN SUNSHINE

Next we will create bullets to shoot piu piu

Done then create a new sense

Original button is Area 2D to check when bullet collides

CollisionShape2D

Sprite

You drag the bullet image into the Sprite

Then set collisionShape2D too

Then change the name to Bullet

Create New Script

Here I will add a function so that the bullet can spawn somewhere you want and Damage (damage)

func start_at(pos, dir):
position = pos
rotation = dir
velocity = Vector2(speed, 0).rotated(dir)

position =pos : means the position of the bullet will reject the pos

rotation = rotation of the bullet

Next, we will create a function to assign speed to the bullet so that it can fly

func _physics_process(delta):
position += velocity * delta

Oh, remember to turn 2 buttons Sprite and Collishape Move horizontally if you don’t want it to shoot vertically

Then next we have to check if the bullet leaves the screen, it will self-destruct so that it can’t accumulate again causing lag.

Then you add the button VisibilityNotifier2D then adjust the dog is fine. Then connect the signal screen_exit (quit screen)

Then in that sentence we add the command: queue_free()

Then next we’ll shoot it.

Before that you need to have the bullet’s sence to be able to add it and use onready, it will be loaded when running.

Then check if key is pressed F it will shoot

get_parent().add_child(b): means it will take the parents and then add_child ie add the bullet button if there is a video, I will illustrate it easier.

b.start_at(global_position,rotation) : global_position = position of the character, rotation is the angle of rotation.

When shooting you will see it appear in the middle of the player, we need to adjust it outside the gun. Then do the following.

You add a Position2D button and then drag it to the place where you want the bullet to appear

Next is simple, you just need to add $Position2D before the global_position to spawn in the above place.

And if you run it, you will have a situation like the picture

And the next post will have a fix

Code Player:

extends KinematicBody2D




export var speed = 200




onready var bullet = preload("res://Canh/Bulet.tscn")

func _physics_process(delta):

look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

laydau_nhapvao(delta)




func laydau_nhapvao(delta):

var vector_dauvao = Vector2.ZERO

vector_dauvao.x = Input.get_action_strength("ui_right") - Input.get_action_strength("ui_left")

vector_dauvao.y = Input.get_action_strength("ui_down") - Input.get_action_strength("ui_up")

vector_dauvao = vector_dauvao.normalized()

if vector_dauvao != Vector2.ZERO:

$AnimatedSprite.play("move")

else:

$AnimatedSprite.play("idle")

var dichuyen = vector_dauvao * speed * delta

if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_F):

shoot()

dichuyen = move_and_collide(dichuyen)

func shoot():

var b = bullet.instance()

get_parent().add_child(b)

b.start_at($Position2D.global_position,rotation)
