I am happy that you had such weird problems and could fix them, this is how you get out of tutorial hell and start doing things by yourself, well done, those seemed like complicated issues you fixed, about the position of the 3D animated cursor, you can set the global position and not the local one, that should allow you to move them at will and still position at the right place, I may have centered it on the world origin in the scene and saved it, so I could moved it later in the world. Sorry I could have reached you sooner to help, been working during the graveyard shift so my sleeping schedule is all messed up, but I am really happy you could figure it out! If you face any more obstacles post your comments and I will see if I can help,

@@nanotechgamedev Sure thing, i'll definitely have more questions in the future haha! Don't worry about late replies, it's reassuring that you're still replying to help in the first place, and thanks for the tutorials, i legit would not have made it this far without them.

​@@nanotechgamedev So i'm trying to add a lock camera to selected unit/target function using ChatGPT but it's not working how i wanted it to, because the camera base doesn't move with the follow if that makes sense, so even though the camera does follow the unit if lets say the unit moves further or closer to camera it becomes weird, and also zoom is kinda broken when locked. So if you wouldn't mind i'd like some advice from you about how you'd go about making a camera lock to selected unit. I inserted the changes in the player interface script, because i figured it needs the selection functions in the player interface to work (i only vaguely understand how units gets added to the selections so far), which i think is on the right track (i might be completely wrong lol) edit: i also just realize while the cam follows the unit, after i stop it, the camera doesnt reset to original position so it also offsets weirdly with the visibleunits_area3d, so yea my fault for using chatgpt when idk what im doing lol.

Sorry about that, I was still learning how to make tutorials, I will probabilly re-do the series with a more clear linear experience like a course approach, here on yt or on udemy if requested enough, a lot of experimentation happenned and the videos continuity suffered as a result,

That line of code does nothing by itself so what doesn't work? It only stores the new zoom value to be used as the camera position Z later, you will need to assign it, the cam_zoom_speed is a float variable that controls the speed of the zoom, the cam_zoom_direction is a simple integer that can go between 1.0 to -1.0 to invert the zoom depending on the input of the player and we multiply by delta to account for frame gaps and differences, you could also try to increase the zoom speed to see if it works.

Hero in game mechanics not visual style, having units that can be stronger than regular units and have special abilities and progressive updates based on it's survival time like XP or unit kills, or by acquiring other currency, not hero in the sense of sword and shield with a cartoon style like you see in almost all mobile games,

You could try with raycasting or shapecasting against collisions objects, or through a combination of object distances and AABB calculations, it is possible, but you would need your own navigation algorithm or use AStar, I don't know if it is worth it to discard the navmensh altogether, for a first person game it is useful for the enemies and units to navigate around, did you had limitations with navmesh?

Version is 4.4 Dev4, It should work up to 4.4+ if no bigger changes are merged, make sure you watch the video as I had a bug with the matching state to input_int and it was supposed to be event_mode, but I corrected it in 24:40. If you are still getting no input_events registered, try to debug step by step your code, you will eventually find where the error is.

The second issue of the data not being read after export is because the data files aren't being exported at all, I have had this issue before, depeding on the extension of your data file you have to include it in the export, Godot only export some extensions like .res, .tscn, you can add more file extensions in the resources section of export project settings, also be mindful of having a .gdignore file in a folder which will make Godot ignore that folder, which is useful to have project-side files only.

@@nanotechgamedev so the solution was to make it so that the csv section of the autoload only runs in the editor using @tool and a editor check: if Engine.is_editor_hint(): MODULE_DATA_COMPILER.compile_csvdata_files()

Not at all, I am just working sometimes on parallel projects, I am porting my RTS project to the newest Godot version, will be showing the results with an update video soon,

Sure I will elaborate on that, thinking about a RTS, some inputs we want to be contextualized to not execute unwanted actions, and most inputs are the same, mouse controls, at that time I thought about using unhandled inputs to safeguard inputs not being used by units or the player in other context, as moving the camera or zooming is not that important, if you have clicked on a building or unit to plan a attack or building queue, I would want to prioritize those inputs, capturing them and consuming so they would not propagate to zooming the camera, so the camera zoom would not be executed, because the inputs would be handled by other nodes, So there are many ways to do this, filtering inputs to do only what you want precisely, today I would probabilly build a custom object with a finite state machine like a input master node that would exist during the gameplay, when the player would enter building mode mouse inputs and other things would be contextualized to only the building mode, that sort of thing, that makes more sense when you consider the entire game and all it's inputs and modes the player can enter, the inputs being the same however.

On the viewport of Godot, click on the three dots on the top left corner of the screen ": Perspective" and scroll down to where it says "View Information" and "View Frame Time", there is also a bunch of cool stuff in there. For a custom FPS counter you have to get the ticks per second from the engine with Engine.get_frames_per_second() and update a label text node.

Yea, guess other things were prioritized in Gdscript, such as typed dictionaries,

Eu tinha respondido e o yt bugou, ai vai de novo, não tem nenhuma diferença, apenas que usar transform.origin é o que o .position faz, é um atalho para ficar mais facil, lembrando que tem tambem global_transform.origin e .global_position se você precisar de posições globais, e funcionam do mesmo jeito.

Opa, sotaque entregou eu né. Hope you can still enjoy the content,

Moro no Brasil mesmo, que legal que você mora aí, tá vivendo melhor que muita gente kkkk

If you are sharing a link to this original video, by all means you are more than welcome to do it, thank you for being awesome!

@nanotechgamedev, nice. the post has 1.5K total views and 6 total shares. i don't think it will gain much more traction now. the upvotes are at 0 and i got downvoted by someone who just looked at the title in the first minute. unfortunately, it didn't stay visible for very long. i'm disappointed that the share didn't have more engagement, as your video is truly valuable for everyone. even after 2 years of playing with gdscript, i still learned some useful things that i had overlooked before.

Well, people are smart and they know how to find what they need, I wouldn't worry that much about it, 1.5K views for this short time is a really nice share, so good job with your post, I usually don't put too much emphasis on the views quantity, if they don't stick around or don't interact. It also isn't worth doing content for views only or worse clickbait content, we also never know what type of content can grow unexpectedly, such is the case with my first video on the RTS series,

Even when we know exactly what we're searching for, it's getting harder to find good content with all the clickbait videos out there. Experienced developers who make quality content are not interested in self-promotion or might be too busy. That makes it even tougher to find their content. Yeah, this is your RTS camera video that led me to your channel. I wasn't even looking for RTS genre, I was looking to do a debug camera with some panning on the window edges xD. But, I missed a bunch of your videos since then. That make me think that i didn't touch a RTS since (2003), the ones i liked the most was: Dark Reign 2, Battle Realms, American Conquest, Warcraft III.

It is very pleasing to the eye isn't? The main editor interface font is a ttf font called Jura-Bold, for the code in the script editor it is otf font called Spleen 2.1.0, using the spleen-16x32 version, the main font is size 20 and the code font size 22, default ui display scale of 1,

func unit_entered(unit:CharacterBody3D) -> void: var unit_id:int = unit.get_instance_id() if selectable_units.keys().has(unit_id): return selectable_units[unit_id] = unit selection_update_units_selectable() print("entered") func unit_exited(unit:CharacterBody3D) -> void: var unit_id:int = unit.get_instance_id() if !selectable_units.keys().has(unit_id): return selectable_units.erase(unit_id) selection_update_units_selectable() print("exited") func selection_update_units_selectable() -> void: selectable_units_array.clear() for unit in selectable_units.values(): selectable_units_array.append(unit) credit to MrReirgen from another comment

Additonally you need to remove BoxselectionUnits_visible and add selecable_units and selectable_units_array instead, the rest of the code for them is shown in the video

cast selection needs to be deleted and replaced with selection_drag_box_cast()

also note that some of the input code is only shown when adding the animation to the unit move order sprite
