I say you go the horror game route, this is the first feature.

Looks fine, ship it.

It's gonna be the first boss of the tutorial area

I’d use an animation player and fake it 😆 that angle math is too much

Sometimes I just get too determined for my own sake and spend too much time on something to make it just the way I want it. Needless to say it often leads to burnout and sadness :)

Oh, the joy of doors xD I mean you got a good video out of it so better than my usual mess!

Animating in Godot with GDScript? Depending on what you need, you might find that an animation node is your friend. You can control playback with code easily, and - amazingly - even trigger method calls from the timeline.

No animation, I'm going for full on door simulation with physics and everything. And I feel like I managed to make it work just now. Apparently all you need is mouse velocity and a hinge motor! But thanks for the help! And yeah, calling methods from keyframes is my favorite feature of the engine

ee0pdt.bsky.social•159 days ago

Ha! Amazing! Do you need the physics for some game mechanic?

sinisperi.bsky.social•159 days ago

For now door only. But potentially picking up items and throwing them around. With the door I just wanted player to have full control over the door opening speed and angle I guess for the emersion sake or something. Feels like an overkill tbh but I'm happy I did it

Heh. Reminds me of this https://lizengland.com/blog/2014/04/the-door-problem/

OH this is amazing read, really explains game designer point of view. Thanks for sharing! I was trying to find it again but forgot the name
