Why can't my character move when I put a 2d Camera? (FIXED!)

Illusi0n

I have been trying to figure it out for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. My character just doesn't move.

My character code:

extends KinematicBody2D

export var speed = 200
export var friction = 0.01
export var acceleration = 0.1

var velocity = Vector2()

func get_input():
	var input = Vector2()
	if Input.is_action_pressed('d'):
		input.x += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed('a'):
		input.x -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed('s'):
		input.y += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed('w'):
		input.y -= 1
	return input

func _physics_process(delta):
	var direction = get_input()
	if direction.length() > 0:
		velocity = lerp(velocity, direction.normalized() * speed, acceleration)
	else:
		velocity = lerp(velocity, Vector2.ZERO, friction)
	velocity = move_and_slide(velocity)

And Camera2D:

extends Camera2D

onready var player = get_node("/root/World/Player")

func _physics_process(delta):
	
	position.x = player.position.x 
	position.y = player.position.y

Thanks.

If you want the camera to move with the player, make the camera a child of the player node. Then there's no need for a camera script.

Welcome to the forums @Illusi0n!

You probably will want to use global_position instead of position in your camera script. Global position is relative to the scene origin, while position is relative to the node’s parent.

When I do that, the same results happen.

It still doesn't work...

Do you have a background? Because if the camera is following the player position exactly, it won't look like either is moving unless you have a background to see what's happening.

I put an object outside of the camera limit, but I can't see it when I walk up.

Did you check "current" for the Camera?

Yes

Thanks.

FIXED! I reinstalled it. Must've been a bug... Thanks everyone!
