    Basing my project on this course has caused my Character to be stuck in Idle among others

    Hello,I hope you are doing ok!

    I'm currently working on my own project that's "fresh" (meaning it's a project not based on the course files) & so far, so good but I've encountered some problems.

    Because I've made this project from scratch, I think there's some things missing because at the moment:

    1. My character is stuck in the "Idle" state instead of the "Air" state bug (which was a "bug" that occurred earlier on in the "Player Ground and Air movement" section).
    2. I don't know if it's relevant but in the section "Air movement", Nathan brings up "impulse" as a key in the "message" dictionary, if that's something you can set yourself, that's something I've missed.

    This is what I know so far, I wouldn't be surprised I've missed something like a spelling error or something like it but have I missed something more that this course doesn't mention?

    EDIT: Removed link to project

    This course has been amazing so far in teaching me the fundamentals of Godot, thank you for your hard work!

      Solution

      List of changes made:
      1) In StateMachine.gd changed line 11 from "func _inti() -> void:" to "func _init() -> void:"
      This was preventing StateMachine from being added to the group "state_machine" because the _init callback was not being called.

      2) In StateMachine.gd changed line 26 from "state.set_physics_process(delta)" to "state.physics_process(delta)" I think maybe auto completion got you here. We want to make sure that when the _physics_process method of the state machine runs that we delegate the call to the state's physics_process method not the state's set_physics_process method

      For the first one, I should've known that I've misspelled something, which is the usual issue I encounter..

      Secondly, that one I'm unsure I would've spotted myself (unless I went through the tutorials with a comb, maybe?), I think I have a bad habit of missing these kind of things.

      Thank you for spotting these things!

      You're welcome! Great job overall adapting the state machine from scratch to your custom character! Can't wait to see what you end up doing with it.

      Thank you for the encouragement, adapting what's taught in the tutorials to what I need is pretty simple since it's pretty much exactly what I need (except for the Hook stuff & mouse movement).

      Right now I'm going to fiddle with some wall jumping stuff, decide if I want double jump or not & after that I'm going to tweak the movement values to what I want for the character.

      The challenge will be the core mechanic I want for the game, which isn't really part of some tutorial & I need to figure out how to integrate it to the current system.

      Again thank you for your help!
