Export error exe

jana

I'm new to Godot (but done some programming). I'm working through the step-by-step tutorial.

I'm getting errors when I try to create an .exe. The console window is open for about 2 seconds - here's the screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/T9AYoCiiar

The errors tell me to open the project in the editor at least once. The project was open when I took the screenshot.

What can I try / what should I look for?

Welcome to the forums @jana!

Looking at the error in the screen shot, it looks like the script Player.gd (technically Player.gdc, as its compiled) has a misplaced new line (\n). I would look at the Player.gd script and see if there is anything out of place, especially with indentation.

Thank you!

I looked at the code, and the formatting looks fine to me, but I'm new to GDScript. I'm obviously missing it / don't know what a misplaced new line would look like (I'm used to C++).

I copy pasted the code from the tutorial page, and now the exe runs with no errors, but the player won't move when I press the arrow keys. This is the tutorial page https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/exporting.html

Should I post a new question, since the problem has changed?

The code on that page is for click/touch input with the keyboard related code commented out. For starters try to use your mouse to point and click, see if that works. And after that try uncommenting the keyboard input related lines.

I didn't realize that the click/touch was added instead of the arrow keys, not in addition to them.
