what is wrong with this code?

warrenb

extends StaticBody2D

export (int) var SPEED
var velocity = Vector2()
var screensize
var engineStarted = false

func _moveHeli():
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		velocity.x += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):           -------------------------------------------getting indentation errors here!!!
	    velocity.x -= 1
        if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		velocity.y += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
	    velocity.y -= 1
        if velocity.length() > 0:
		velocity = velocity.normalized() * SPEED
	
	position += velocity * delta
	position.x = clamp (position.x, 0, screensize.x)
	position.y = clamp (position.y, 0, screensize.y)
	

func _ready():
	screensize = get_viewport_rect().size
	
func _process(delta): 
    velocity = Vector2()

    if Input.is_action_pressed("start engine"):

im getting indentation errors on the ifs in my moveHeli function and i just dont know why

please help

warrenb

they are one tab in under the function

Looking at the code, I think the problem could be that the line under if Input.is_action_pressed(“ui_down”): is not indented. This will cause an error since every if, elif or else statement needs at least one line of indented code so it knows what to if the condition is true.

Another thing that could potentially be causing the problem is mixing tabs and spaces in your code. If you are using both tabs and spaces, I would suggest convering one so it is consistent across the code base. I think there is a button in the script editor for converting to and from spaces and tabs that may be able to help if you are using both.

Hopefully this helps :smile:

(Just as an FYI, I edited your post so the code was formatted correctly. All I did was indent your code by a single tab so it renders as the code properly in your post)

What twisted said and I'll add that you want to add at least 2 line breaks after your functions.

extends StaticBody2D
export (int) var SPEED


var velocity = Vector2()
var screensize
var engineStarted = false


func _moveHeli():
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
        velocity.x += 1
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):    
        velocity.x -= 1
        if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
            velocity.y += 1
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
        velocity.y -= 1
        if velocity.length() > 0:
            velocity = velocity.normalized() * SPEED
    position += velocity * delta
    position.x = clamp (position.x, 0, screensize.x)
    position.y = clamp (position.y, 0, screensize.y)


func _ready():
    screensize = get_viewport_rect().size


func _process(delta): 
    velocity = Vector2()
    if Input.is_action_pressed("start engine"):

Alas the way the forum theme draws things the line breaks aren't visible/obvious. But try quoting this post and you should see them in the post editor.

Also worth noting that the forums code formatting adds a further level of indentation to the whole code(if you select the code portion and use the menu to set it to be rendered as code), thats just how markdown works here.
