Hello there! glad your finding it helpful, unfortunately I kind of pivoted mid way through this one, I do intend to come back to it, but I kind of realized I was doing tutorials instead of working on my own game, so I decided to focus entirely on my project to try and make it a bit more of a priority, so it will be a minute until I return to this tutorial series. I am really sorry about that, there are still a fair few things I need to get up and running on it.

Hmmm, make sure that your setting the ItemSlotsCount is greater than zero. Failing that put a debug print out in the PickupItem function (GD.Print(Item) or print(Item) in gd script), just before the slot filled if statement ( if (!slot.SlotFilled): ), this will tell you it is in fact iterating through slots and trying them out, if the item slots count is greater than zero and it's not iterating through the slots then that means that there's something going on in the ready function, are you getting any errors?

@@Bonkahe my bad I forgot to add inventory_handler>pickupitem>"foundSlot = true" before "break". But even so, now i interact with object, pick it up and the object just disappears and is not being added to the inventory. below you will have my pasted code - I already reviewed it line by line should be the same. If nothing comes on top of your mind just let it be. I will go and redo/rewatch the whole series again. One thousand thanks for trying to help!

So a couple of issues could be it. Of course make sure the animation player is set to active. And make sure if the animation is supposed to loop, it is set to loop on the import settings, (depending on whether they have been imported yet or not you can do this in the animation player as well).

Thank you so much for the kind words~ I've gotten quite a lot done already this month, I will probably be doing a video soon on this month. I ended up talking to my wife and deciding it's probably prudent to just do one episode a month on the subject, so I can have nice meaty updates to show. Your game sounds very cool, I'm excited to see it!

You should be able to just make a new packed scene, then add that scene to a new ItemData resource and add that to the list of item types just like I did with the one in the video.

Thank you so much, that is high praise! I have no idea how I would even go about suggesting it but you are not the first that's told me I should submit it to the team. Maybe I'll have to get on that~

Thank you so much for the kind words! Haven't been responding to anything but we're starting to ramp back up and get back into it, I'm glad you got it sorted, sorry it was an issue! Actually a fair number of people have ran into problems with this inventory, not really sure what's up but it's always something that wasn't happening on my end, I get the feeling that something I did in this tutorial series is something that only works exactly right in 1 version of the engine or something.... Regardless glad it was of help!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad this tutorial has been so helpful to so many people xD

Wow, it's been a minute since I looked at this! Thank you for the kind words, I am not sure I would be so kind to it lol it's got some rough parts xP

Thank you so much, yeah it can be a little bit of a crammed schedule but all the positive feedback honestly helps me get through my day job lol Hope you like the stuff that comes in the future~

Thank you so much, I'm glad it has been such a help to so many people. Remember there's discord servers for asking for help in as well! Animations in 3D can be super obtuse at times xD Good luck in your projects~

Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot that so many are finding it so useful, I want to work on getting a more comprehensive water/ocean addon out too at some point xD Thank you again~

I will definently be going over ocean/water in the future, been a little bit slammed at work this last while, but it is in the future plans! Glad you liked it, in the mean time feel free to use this water, it's not the best but it's also not terrible.

For sure, you should be able to find it in the scene for this episode on the github here: github.com/Bonkahe/GodotEducationalProjects/tree/master/Beginner/04-Materials/Scenes Just download the zip file for the github repo and pull out that scene, and you should find the environment there, I didn't do it as an external resource so unfortunately it's just local to that scene xP Hope that helps!

Hello there! So some individuals who were using this in a production environment updated their project to the latest version and asked me to update it, so I did so, it should be working up to at least version 4.3. As for performance that one's a mixed bag, on my current hermit project I made a super optimized version of these clouds, which you can see here: ruclips.net/video/KsYAAfyf9-k/видео.html As it's going into an open world game that already has it's fair share of performance problems I wanted the clouds to not be one of them, and while the style might be a little different and not what some individuals want, it's performance impact has been reduced by several orders of magnitude. I might make that public, just for anyone who wants a super optimized version of these clouds... TLDR: no clue how a phone would handle it, but it certainly should be possible to get it running, I might have to look into it. Thank you for your kind words~

Thank you so much for the kind words! It helps a lot with all the anxieties and stuff to have such kind comments xD

So this is a little bit of a dicey situation, on the one hand, if the data is local to a scene or a .res file yes technically you can delete the gltf file, however I would caution against it for two reasons. Firstly the gltf files may be needed to modify the mesh or if that resource or the scene file gets corrupted, which while I wish I could say never happens in Godot, but I can't unfortunately, (though for the record it's a fair bit more stable than other game engines imo) Secondly the resource files for the gltf can be excluded from exports, if you do so it impacts nothing to keep them there in the final release, which regardless of anything else I would highly recommend you go through and exclude anything in the export that is not necessary anyways for file size optimizations. Your call but personally they aren't usually that big (most of the file size goes to the textures anyways) so I tend to just leave them there even if they are local to a scene or a resource file. Regardless, good luck with your project!

For sure, you can contact me on discord on the Godot Cafe discord here: discord.com/invite/zH7NUgz just search for my name in the top right and hit message, my name is the same on there as here. There's a couple common problems that people have been encountering on that particular problem, I'm sure I can help you sort it out.

SO this is an interesting one, first yes 100% it was supposed to be control, I am not sure why I made it a node xD however due to the nature of GDScript it can actually still work, as methods are called regardless of if they are supposed to be handled, so basically because the script was on a control script it should still call drop_data, that being said it just makes everything confusing and removes the auto-complete for control functions by making a Node, so I'll definently have to sort that xD Good catch!

For sure it depends on your game, I made this in this manner so that it could be used like a third person shooter, where the character is oriented in the direction of the camera instead of looking the direction of running, as prior to this video some people had asked for a third person shooter style movement system for a while. For your project (and actually my personal project as well) it makes sense to just orient in the direction of running.

@@Bonkahe I figured out what was causing my mesh not to rotate in the direction the player is walking. If you select the AnimationTree node, in the property panel it has a section AnimationMixer. That section has a checkbox called Deterministic. I randomly turned it off after two weeks of pulling my hair because I couldn't get the mesh to rotate when using an animation tree node and all of a sudden the mesh rotates fine. The description has something to do with blending, but apparently this setting keeps resetting the mesh's rotation even if you're not using any blending. Sometimes one checkbox can cause two weeks of pain. :D Oh ****** it works again, I'm so happy. ^_^ This is kinda strange, because I had also made a test scene with a cube and AnimationTree and AnimationPlayer nodes and it has the Deterministic checkbox checked but I could rotate it in code despite that... So I still don't know why it worked in the test scene but not in the player scene.

Thank you! I think I heard somewhere when I was coming up to my wedding, prioritize and execute, if you don't get to the last thing in the list, then you did what you could. That's pretty much my day to day at this point xD

Tyvm!

I've thought a lot about the subject, as it's pretty much my most requested video subject by a pretty wide margin. I'm mixed on the subject, there's a couple options, I could do it as a series, with like 5-10 minute long videos, but there's subjects in the terrain that by themselves would probably run like 40-50 minutes by themselves (the virtual texture system for example) Then there's the option of doing two or three, one hour long videos on the subject, with one on each major system, like virtual textures, stamp based terrain, foliage, etc. There's obvious big problems with this one, the scale of the videos, editing and planning would be insane, more than anything I've made thus far, which is actually the lesser of the problems, the biggest problem is that if my longer videos are anything to go by, I'll end up putting more time into it than collectively everyone who watches them. There is another option, and that's to spin the entire project into a proper addon and release it, which is what I plan on doing regardless after my game is done anyways, but that has probably the most work entailed of all of them, as there's some parts like the foliage which are severally not user friendly and needs an overhaul, and I'm not entirely sure I got the energy in me to focus on it for another 3-6 months to get it releasable, and that's not even including the probably years of updates and support until it's a bug free addon. On top of all of this I'm getting a little push back from my closer in contacts on the subject, saying not to release information until I have an addon ready anyways, because they've done so with their projects and it's resulted in a lot of people getting mad at them for things they change, or things they remove later on, and to just wait until I actually release the thing, not 100% sure I agree but it's note-worthy. TLDR it's a pretty complex subject, in short, hopefully I will go over the subject, though I don't really want to do a class per say, because I don't want to pay wall any of the terrain, I want it to be there for everyone free... whenever I actually get it there for everyone xP

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah I've gotten a lot of feedback in the last week or two on the subject that a lot of people have found them to be very helpful, it's been very humbling, and I'm definently going to be coming back to them.

Thank you! hopefully they are fun to watch~
