With the project settings in place, we can start working on the player-controlled character. The first scene will define the Player object. One of the benefits of creating a separate Player scene i...

You state

"Godot will display a warning icon next to the node in the scene tree. You can ignore it for now. We will address it later."

However, this is never directly addressed. By the end of this section the warning is gone, but why?

[ChikinWizrd]

Seems to me like the warning in the scene tree was that the Area2D node had no collision shape, so adding the CollisionShape2D node gets rid of the warning.

[vmorris]

Thanks for the response and info. I agree that this is what gets rid of the warning. This being a introductory tutorial, I recommend either not calling out the warning at all, or giving some additional context as to why and when it gets addressed.

[stefangorneanu97]

Agreed. I'd rather it get mentioned as we add our CollisionShape2D (and how its own warning card disappears when a shape is provided), all warning cards mentioned at the end, or not at all.

Just created a pull request adding explanation about this warning
godotengine/godot-docs#10173

[TylerClarkTech]

if you read the warning it says that a collision shape is required. the warning goes away when a collision shape is added later in the tutorial.

I'm using Godot 4.3 on Ubuntu 22.04. Is anyone else encountering an issue with the SpriteFrames panel where it constantly closes after any action is taken (like adding a new animation or adding a frame to an animation) and needs to be reopened from the AnimatedSprite2D's Animation tab?

[arinakhat]

Same thing on Windows 11

[Calinou]

If you're trying to pin it, this is a known issue: godotengine/godot#94041

I don't know if it applies to the SpriteFrames editor specifically though. There's another related issue: godotengine/godot#78022

[pratyushmathur05]

go to inspect tab on the right not on the animation tab at the bottom there is a animation tab in inspection tab on the right

[lorenzolpandolfo]

thank you, pratyushmathur05. Your observation should be in the docs, since it is not intuitive.

[heyitsguay]

Thanks for the reference -- not trying to pin it though, this is happening just in the course of using the panel to add animation types and frames.

I believe the intended text should be:

"Drag the two images for each animation, named playerGrey_walk[1/2] and playerGrey_walk[2/2], into the "Animation Frames" side of the panel for the corresponding animation:"

instead of :

"Drag the two images for each animation, named playerGrey_up[1/2] and playerGrey_walk[1/2], into the "Animation Frames" side of the panel for the corresponding animation:"

• Fix animation name in Your first 2D game godot-docs#9958

[Dreyseth]

I agree that it doesn't read very clearly, but it is correct if one reads the slash character as "and" rather than the more common "of" usage, so:
...playerGrey_up[1and2] and playerGrey_walk[1and2]... is the intended communication
rather than the assumed:
...playerGrey_up[1of2] and playerGrey_walk[1of2]...
Perhaps there are language localization differences in how the slash symbol is typically read or interpreted?

Why my image scale distorted when I import them in the sprite？I need to make their scale to be 0.3*0.5 to make it seemed to be proper

[Calinou]

Check the parent nodes' Scale property – make sure it's always (1, 1). The child node will inherit the scale of its parents.

Additionally, what is your stretch aspect project setting set to? While it's not the default value, ignore allows distortion to occur if the window aspect ratio doesn't match the viewport's aspect ratio.

Pull pls.
I think this: "Drag the two images for each animation, named playerGrey_walk[1/2] and playerGrey_walk[2/2], into the "Animation Frames" side of the panel for the corresponding animation:"

Should instead be this: "Drag the two images for each animation, named playerGrey_walk[1 & 2] and playerGrey_up[1 & 2], into the "Animation Frames" side of the panel for the corresponding animation:" given the mention of "corresponding animation at the end".

Wouldn't hurt to clarify that the saved scene should be named "player.tscn". There's a note about naming conventions but nothing about the actual filename in this specific case. Would be helpful for beginners!

As a new user it took me a little to figure out how to get the Collision Shape and the AnimatedSprite into view. I ended up clicking the "Center View" icon in scene view to get both into view.

[LavenderLoot]

I am curious why this tutorial uses Area2D instead of CharacterBody2D, which already has things like velocity defined (which the tutorial has us define in the next section to be the default setting that is inherent in a Characterbody2D). Seems like it's more intuitive to use a Characterbody2D to create a player instead of an Area2D...

Just curious why the choice was made to use one over the other.

[WemersonPD]

Hi guys, I was trying to configure the CapsuleShape2D, but it doesn't exist when you add a New Child Node to our Player. We should update the documentation by inserting the correct name, CollisionShape2D.

[WemersonPD]

Sorry, I was wrong in my contribution, I should opened a PR.

Also, I misread it.
