I need some help with this bit of 2d code..

TheHeavyMetalEditor

Hey! I am a little new to Godot and due to some life stuff I am forced to use Godot 2.1 for the time being, that being said all the things that I have done research on was for the new version 3. I am trying to get a basic code for 4 directional character movement and animation playing and I keep getting different errors,

here is the current error I am stuck on:

Parser Error: Identifier not found: Position

code here:

 extends Area2D 

var direction = Vector2(0,0)
var SPEED = 50

func _ready():
	AnimatedSprite.play("Moving")

func _process(delta):
	if is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
		direction = Vector2 (0,-1)
	elif is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		direction = Vector2 (0,1)
	elif is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
		direction = Vector2 (-1,0)
	elif is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		direction = Vector2 (1,0)
	
	
	Position += SPEED * direction * delta

Thank's for any help in advanced!

Edit: Also, I think the issue is that you are using Position instead of position. I believe it has to be lowercase in order to work. Additionally, since this is for Godot 2.0, you need to use set_pos and get_pos (documentation), as accessing the position directly was a Godot 3.0 change.

Also: Welcome to the forums :smile:

I was just about to send a message about that @TwistedTwigleg , I have been waiting and I have not gotten one. And yes I am checking the spam and main AND promotions tabs, don't know the general amount of time it takes to send so I was going to wait a bit before asking but I guess I will now XD

(sorry for bothering)

I see the issue, you entered your email wrong, instead of gmail it's gamil. I'll edit that.

At the bottom of the screen you should see a prompt to resend the email, try it now.

Oh my god I am soooo sorry, That is my bad 100% (Idk how I managed that)

thanks for all the help people!

TheHeavyMetalEditor

yes! that cleared the first one, just by adding a var named position and giving it the get_pos value.

but now I have hit the other one that I was stuck at:

Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'play' in base 'GDNativeClass'.

I believe it's because your calling from the AnimatedSprite class instead of an object that is an instance of it. Perhaps you have a child node you wanted call from and should hence do this.

$AnimatedSprite.play("Moving")
# The $ is a shorthand for calling get_node(node_path)
