That's an interesting point. Does Godot have any settings to disable and/or log those types of operations? If not, should it?

The first thing I do with anyone else's godot project is

find -type f -executable
grep -ir exec

I also run godot in firejail, but I'm a professional paranoid (retired). :)

No, it shouldn't. As a developer, you can do whatever you want. And even if they added fail safes, any hacker can get around them easily (remember, you can compile the Godot source yourself).

You know what I've found with projects is once I reach a certain point, I have to almost laser focus on the next task and hardly think about the overall design. At first it's fun and I'm thinking about everything at once, but then it gets closer to completion and at that point it's just that next step. Otherwise I'll think about everything left to do and not want to do it. By then, the overall design is pretty much worked out, anyway.

A sweeper.

I didn' think it was that difficult. :/

Wait, I heard that more Godot users are making 3d projects now. Is it true? Sounds like good news to me...Is it true?

OpinionatedGamer

Well I'm making a 3D game, although in very early stages.

I don't know about others but I certainly don't sweep all day long.

Makes sense. Perhaps it should've been something like "I graze so long as I'm alive."

I'm not sure, I'm not very active outside of this specific thread. But I've been exclusively working in 3D for a while. I even managed to make that slope issue a non-issue. And it was not by setting velocity.y to 0. I'm excited to one day show where this project is going, but as of now, there's a lot of things I need to take care of personally and not a lot that's flashy to show. Speaking of which, if anybody comes across a discounted photo scanner, let me know. I'm looking at a CanoScan LIDE 400.

People have been always using Godot for 3D, but I think the improvements in the last few years have made a big difference. Previously, when I started with Godot, I was not able to get good results, but I stuck with it. Like that Myra demo was not possible until about a year ago when they released the new light mapper. There have also been tons of bug fixes and new features, even on Godot 3.x. So while people have tried before, it wasn't until recently, like in the last year, that it was viable.

Do you mean the issue where the character slides on slopes?

some_lame_kid

Yeah, I've seen several fixes, all with their own bugs. The fix I came up with so far as I've found, has the least that get in the way.

cybereality

So it's not actually a bug, it's just a quirk of the physics engine. Because you have gravity constantly pulling down, so if the ground is not completely flat, then the object will roll down. You can see this in real life with a ball on a hill. The reason it doesn't happen in real life with flat objects (like a box or your feet) is because of friction. But real friction is rarely calculated unless doing serious simulation work. For most games, it is faked. In Godot, they don't provide a default friction (though there are some sliders that can help) so it's your responsibility to code this. It might be useful to have some basic friction in the physics engine (just faked, but something that works) because people get confused about this all the time. But it is not difficult to add yourself.

some_lame_kid

@cybereality You're right, bug's not the word. It is in fact how physics works without friction. I meditated on this explanation for weeks on end to come up with a solution, you'd think I would know better.

Nerdzmasterz

That would be annoying. I mean, if you're trying to go on a flight of stairs and the character keeps slipping. Is there a way to simulate friction?

Nerdzmasterz

Random thought: would parenting the character to whatever it lands on- if it's a floor or platform- and un-parenting upon leaving that area. Would that work?

Nerdzmasterz

You have always had me, but you're always waiting for me.

What am I?

OpinionatedGamer

The fix I've used is to use move_and_slide_with_snap(). I believe that that's the most common way, I mainly used Garbaj's updated fps code, but I've added improvements. The only bug it comes with is that if you are right up against a short wall, and jump onto the wall, the character will snap onto the walls topside versus continuing the upward momentum for the jump. It only happens when right against the wall and when the player is moving towards it anyway, in which most instances they would want to land on the wall, so it's not the worst bug.

I'm curious about your fix though. What bugs does it fix/come with?
