A lot of people asked about making 2D maps and how to use different types of tiles like water vs dirt. For this lesson I created a couple of simple images to use for tile maps. This asset will be sort of abstract data, and can be “skinned” with specific tiles at a later point. They are available in this package here.

We’ll leave the script alone without being attached to any objects for the time being so we can copy things over from it if we want. The original version of the code marked the class as abstract, which GDScript does not seem to have any concept of. With that in mind, we’ll organize accordingly.

The other is that the Axis components in the input manager are split up as one Axis each for positive and negative, and when we check the axis in code, we call a function with the two as parameters. Next we need to create a new folder under Scripts. This script will be pretty simple. save_game.store_8(tiles[key].height)

As soon as the script detects that a black screen will appear soon, the script generates ground. For now, I settled on the ground generation approach (piece of ground->bridge->piece of ground) At first I wanted to attach the code, but I think it would be better to try to explain the meaning of the generation.

In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

Initializing class member variables can be quite of a hassle, code such as this is common in GDScript: The 'onready' keyword allows initialization of class member variables at the same time when _ready is called, saving some code: But doing this for autoloaded scenes can still be a hassle, as it has to be done every time a script is created.

In Godot, a Button has the full inheritance chain implicit: Node -> CanvasItem -> Control -> Button -> Behavior Script. I find this makes code simpler and easier to maintain and optimize (a testament to this is how tiny Godot's codebase is compared to other game engines, while providing similar levels of functionality).

This time around we’re going to set the attack’s Area of Effect, or in other words, how many tiles the attack hits. An archer may hit a single tile with his arrow, or a mage may cause a massive explosion hitting multiple tiles. This one is pretty simple, it just returns the single tile as long as the tile is valid.
