How to make camera follow player in Godot

In this tutorial, we will see how to make a camera follow the player in Godot. I will be using Godot version 3.4.2 for this tutorial. If you use Unity, check out camera follow player Unity tutorial.

Camera follow player in Godot 2D.

Right click on your scene and click add node. Seach for Camera2D and add it to the scene.

Select the Camera2D node and go to the inspector window.

Add a new script to camera and call it player_follow.

Click the down arrow near the script and click edit.

Copy and paste the code below in to the script.

Save the script.

Camera follow script for 2D

extends Camera2D var player func _ready(): player= get_node("/root/Scene/Icon") func _process(delta): position.x=player.position.x position.y=player.position.y

Save and run the game. The camera will follow the player movement in x and y axis.

Camera follow player in Godot 3D

Add Camera node in place of Camera2D

Set your camera angle as required.

In our case the player moves only in the x axis so let’s add the script for the camera to move only in the x axis.

Add a script to the camera object.

Copy and paste the code below.

Save the code and run the project.

Camera follow script for 3D

extends Camera # Declare member variables here. Examples: # var a = 2 # var b = "text" var player # Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time. func _ready(): player= get_node("/root/Scene/glass cube") # Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame. func _process(delta): translation.x=player.translation.x # pass

Top Game Engines on Steam in 2021 – GameFromScratch.com

Following up on the look at the game engines used in 2020’s most popular Steam titles, this is the game engines used in the most popular titles published in 2021. Please note, this is not my work, but instead was compiled by justkevin on Reddit. It is an interesting look at the game engines behind the most popular titles published last year on Steam.

Now the term “most popular” is a loaded one, so here is how it is defined:

Below is the list for this year, as based on the Steam 250 ranking. The Steam 250 algorithm is a combination of percent positive reviews and number of reviews. For example a game with 99% positive out of 1000 reviews might rank higher than a game with 95% positive out of 15,000 reviews. Whether it is actually more popular is somewhat of a subjective opinion– perhaps “beloved” might be a better descriptor.

In terms of summary of results, it breaks down as follows:

Unity: 25

Unreal: 6

Game Maker: 4

RPG Maker: 2

Custom: 9

Other: 4

Interestingly, this is the first time that the Godot game engine has made an appear on the list, with the 22nd ranked Cruel Squad. If you are interested in additional game engine and framework details on Steam beyond 2021’s most popular games, be sure to check out SteamDB.

Play audio with visual scripting in Unity

Playing an audio clip with visual scripting is as simple as playing audio using code in Unity. You can better control on playing audio with code but if you are going to just click play then visual scripting is the easiest one. In this tutorial, we will play an audio clip after 10 second’s delay.

I am using Unity 2021.1.13 for this tutorial.

Adding components

Create an empty game object and name it audio_object.

Add a Script Machine component and an Audio Source component.

Add your audio clip to the Audio Source component.

Uncheck Play on Awake on the Audio Source.

Click new on the Script Machine to create a new flow graph.

Let’s name it Audio_player.

Creating the flow graph

Click edit graph.

Add an Audio Source:play(delay) object.

Enter 10 in the delay input.

Connect the start event to the Audio Source object.

That’s it you have created a logic to play an audio clip after 10 second’s delay.

How to create a countdown timer using visual scripting in Unity

In our Unity timer post, we had discussed about creating various types of timers in Unity with C# code. In this tutorial, we will see how to create a countdown timer using visual scripting in Unity and display the timer on to the game scene.

Creating the game objects

Add an empty gameobject called timer.

Add a text gameobject. This will add a canvas and event system to your scene.

Add a script machine component to the timer gameobject and create a new flow graph.

Let’s called the flow graph timer_graph.

Add a variable of type gameobject to timer and drag and drop your text gameobject to it. Name it Timer_display.

Creating the graph logic

Add a timer, get variable, float to string and a set text block.

There are many types of float to string block. Add the one with format option.

Set the duration for the timer.

Set the format you want in the float to sting block.

Select the variable timer_display in the get variable block.

Connect the graph as shown in the image below.

GodotSfxr Add-On Released – GameFromScratch.com

GodotSfxr is a new plugin released for the Godot game engine. This is a port of the long running sfxr audio tool to run inside the Godot game engine. sfxr is used to quickly and easily create a wide variety of 8bit-esque sound effects using a series of parameters and sliders. GodotSfxr brings this functionality inside the Godot game engine, making it quick and easy to create dynamic sound effects directly inside the engine.

You can learn more about GodotSfxr on the Itch.io page. The project is open source, released under the flexible MIT open source license, and is hosted on GitHub. The project is not yet available in the Godot asset library, so for now simply clone the project from GitHub and copy the addons folder into your project directory.

The code used in the example to create and play a random sound effect is as follows:

var maxFX = SfxrGlobals.PRESETS.keys().size() var randomSound = rand_range(0.0,maxFX) $SfxrStreamPlayer._set("actions/generator",randomSound) $SfxrStreamPlayer.play_sfx()

You can learn more about using GodotSfxr and see it in action in the video below. If you are interested in other sfxr inspired projects, be sure to check out Chiptone and the free audio resources guide over on DevGa.me.

Making camera follow player using visual scripting in Unity

In this tutorial, we will see how to make a camera follow player using visual scripting. You can also check out other camera follow methods in our camera follow player using script tutorial

I am using Unity 2021.1.13 for this tutorial

I have a cube in my scene with the movement control attached to it. Let’s make the camera follow the cube when it moves using visual scripting. Unity 2021 has visual scripting already installed with the package.

Create and add a flow graph

Select the camera.

Go to inspector window and click on Add Component.

Select and add Script Machine.

Click on New to create a new graph.

Let’s name it Camera_follow.

Creating the logic

Creating variables

We need two variables for this process.

First one is a gameobject which will be our player.

The second one is a float that will have the ofset value of the camera’s z-axis.

Editing the flow graph

Click on edit graph in the inspector window.

Add set variable block near the start event.

Add a get position block and a get z block.

Take the z value from the transform and assign it to the set variable block.

Select the variable as z offset and connect the start event to the set variable block.

In the update event add get variable, get position, get z, get x, add and set position block.

Set the get variable block to type object and select player as the variable.

Connect output of get variable to the get transform block. This way we can get the position of the player.

Get the x and z position from the get position block. Add the z value with the float variable from start event.

Get y from the get position of camera in the start event.

Create a new vector 3 and assign x,y and z from the Get X, Get Y and Get Z blocks.

Connect the vector3 to set position of the camera

Final output

Magio Interactive Effect Engine for Unity Review –

Currently featured in the Unity New Year Mega Bundles today we are checking out Magio, a Unity add-on for creating interactive spells. There are currently two bundles running on the Unity Asset Store, the Roaring Bundle and the Daring Bundle (which Magio is included in).

Magio is described as:

Spark your game with procedural magic effects, make a fire fighting simulation or puzzle players with elemental interactions, Magio can do it all. Magio comes with 6 performance-optimized procedural effects and 3 high-quality variants aimed at games with high visual fidelity. You can also easily create your own or modify existing effects to work with Magio as all effects are done in Unity’s Visual Effects Graph!

Core of Magio is to make any effect instantly fit any mesh or skinned mesh and make it interactive with other effects and surrounding environmental variables. Ignite, spread, extinguish/nullify and customize the effects as you will. Every effect will be unique, procedurally generated in real-time and fitted for the attached gameobjects.

Check out our complete Magio review in the video below. The above links contain an affiliate code that pays GFS a commission if used (and thanks if you do!).

Making a character move using visual scripting in Unity

Let’s try out a simple experiment. Let’s take the movement script from the tutorial on how to move an object in Unity and try the same with Unity’s visual scripting system.

If you are using Unity 2021 or later you need not install any additional package to use visual scripting.

Here is the code to move an object

using UnityEngine; public class move_player : MonoBehaviour Vector3 pos; void Start() pos=transform.position; // Update is called once per frame void Update() float x_move=Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); float z_move=Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); pos.x+=x_move*Time.deltaTime; pos.z+=z_move*Time.deltaTime; transform.position=pos;

Here is the same in visual scripting

Let’s see how to do it

Adding a flow graph

Select your object in the hierarchy window.

Go to inspector and click on Add Component.

Select Script Machine from the options.

This will add two components to your object. Variables and Script Machine.

Select source as graph and create a new graph.

Click edit graph.

Creating the logic

We don’t need the start event. You can remove that.

Add an input get axis block and connect it to the update event.

Add the axis name as “Vertical”. Duplicate and create another input block and type in the axis name as ” Horizontal”.

Create two multiplier blocks and connect the output of each input get axis block to multiplier first input.

Add get delta time block as the second input to both the multipliers.

Create a vector 3 and connect the multiplier output to x and z axis values.

Use transform get position to get the position of the object.

Add the vector 3 with position and set it to the object position using set transform block.

Beginner mistakes to avoid in Unity

Learning a new skill always requires you to make mistakes. But to learn it quickly you need to correct those mistakes and make sure they are not repeated. Unity is very powerful tool but often beginners find themselves making the same mistakes. Here are a few beginners’ mistakes to avoid in Unity.

Mind the spelling of predefined functions

Unity has many pre-defined functions like Start and Awake. Unlike Start and Update, other functions are not added by default to your code. New developers often get the capital letter wrong

Start() is not the same function as start()

Don’t be shy to look up the Unity document to see the correct spelling of the function you are going to use.

Another common misspelled function is OnCollisionEnter(), remember the O,C and E are in capital letters.

The problem with this mistake is you will never see an error and it will be difficult to find out why your code is not working.

Two Non physics object cannot collide

Ever wonder why your OnCollisionEnter() function is not working even if the code is right?

That’s because two non-physics object’s collision is not detected by Unity.

You need to add a Rigidbody component to atleast one gameobject for the collision to be detected.

Your collision Bible

Null reference error

Most beginners follow some tutorial and copy the code exactly and run the game only to see a Null reference error.

This happens when your script is referencing a gameobject that is not assigned.

You must have added a code like this

public GameObject player;

After this you need to drag and drop the player to the script in the inspector window. If you forget that, you will get a null reference error.

Looking for errors

Most beginner try to look for errors inside the code editor. You need to understand that the code editor can only show you errors related to syntax.

Unity editor’s console window shows more details on what is wrong with your code. The best way to find the errors is to save the code and go to Unity editor’s console window.

If you are having a runtime error and not able to figure out why things are not working use code breaks and Debug.Log statement to identify the mistakes.

Awake works even if the script is disables

Yes, you read it right. The Awake function of your script will be called even if the script component is disabled in your gameobject.

You need to keep this in mind before you use the Awake function.

When you reference or assign some static variable in Awake it might create a problem that will be difficult to diagnose.

Vulkan 1.3 Specification Released – GameFromScratch.com

Just over a year since the release of the Vulkan 1.2 specification, the Khronos Group today announced the release of Vulkan 1.3. This release focuses heavily on eliminating fragmentation by consolidating several popular extensions into the core specification as well as introducing device profiles. Additionally new extension support for VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering should streamline the rendering process making it more straightforward to get up and running with Vulkan.

“In this new phase of Vulkan’s evolution, the Vulkan Working Group is taking significant steps to reduce fragmentation across the ecosystem and increase Vulkan’s value to the industry as a reliable cross-platform GPU API. We continue to expose new hardware features as extensions while improving the Vulkan API with new core versions that are portable to a wide range of devices. And now with the Vulkan Roadmap, we are committing to enhanced transparency and communication to forge industry consensus on baseline functionality Profiles that best serve Vulkan’s key markets,” said Tom Olson, Vulkan Working Group Chair and Distinguished Engineer at Arm.

Day one Vulkan 1.3 driver support is already available for NVIDIA devices, while AMD announced beta support with official drivers coming in the next few months.
