Could I get some help making a 3D player movement system?

Frodev Can't believe there are no usable tutorials on such a basic thing.

Frodev Are you serious? What do you mean not work? Im devving in godot in 3d, and how come i found tutorials that "WORKS"?

Anyways,
Next create char3d node and add script

extends CharacterBody3D

@onready var camera_3d = $Camera3D

var h_sensitivity = 0.20
var v_sensitivity = 0.20

@export_category("Camera vertical angles")
@export var cam_v_min = -90.0 # degrees
@export var cam_v_max = 90.0 # degrees
var camrot_h = 0.0
var camrot_v = 0.0

const SPEED = 5.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = 4.5

# Get the gravity from the project settings to be synced with RigidBody nodes.
var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting("physics/3d/default_gravity")

func _ready():
	Input.mouse_mode = Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED
	

func _input(event):

	if event is InputEventMouseMotion and Input.mouse_mode == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
		#rotate_y(deg_to_rad(-event.relative.x * h_sensitivity))
		camera_3d.rotate_y(deg_to_rad(-event.relative.x * h_sensitivity))
		camera_3d.rotate_x(deg_to_rad(-event.relative.y * h_sensitivity))
		camera_3d.rotation.x = clampf(camera_3d.rotation.x, deg_to_rad(cam_v_min), deg_to_rad(cam_v_max))

func _physics_process(delta):
	# Add the gravity.
	if not is_on_floor():
		velocity.y -= gravity * delta

	# Handle jump.
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept") and is_on_floor():
		velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY

	# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
	# As good practice, you should replace UI actions with custom gameplay actions.
	var input_dir = Input.get_vector("ui_left", "ui_right", "ui_up", "ui_down")
	var direction = (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).normalized()
	if direction:
		velocity.x = direction.x * SPEED
		velocity.z = direction.z * SPEED
	else:
		velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
		velocity.z = move_toward(velocity.z, 0, SPEED)

	move_and_slide()

Add shapes to collision and meshinstnace3d

Add camera

You should be able to move with arrow keys now and mouse.

Create test world with floor or something and add collision layer

Put your char above floor

Press play

Its dirty, the camera rotation is not correct, but you can find tutorials for camera. Besides, loot at assets in godot, there are addons - ready to use templates so to speak where peopl ealready made the character thing, you just add it to your scene..

Frodev Hello there, recently I decided making 2D games was way to much work for me (especially with 2D animations) that I chose to swap to doing 3D because unlike 2D, I know what Im doing (art wise), I then realized I have never made a 3D game in godot before and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to make player movement, I've looked at over 12 tutorials now and I've gotten no where.

So here I am!

If I may approach this from a different angle...

If this is a question of comfort(as in confidence in your skillset) and you mostly have experience with 3D when it comes to art and 2D when it comes to logic systems design... have you considered giving a game with prerendered 3D graphics a try?

But I also think it's not a bad idea to expand your knowledge a bit with programming for 3D. As @xyz said, it's just one extra axis. Albeit there is a bit of a complexity increase with regards to things like gimbal lock. Though as an experienced 3D artist that shouldn't be an alien concept to you.

Frodev I'd agree with you but I could not find any for the life of me that actually worked

How about this, pick any character controller tutorial that looks decent, and when things "stop working" ask here for help with a specific thing.

I recommend https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/getting_started/first_3d_game/index.html

This covers pretty much the basics for 3d character movement and jumping.
The Godot documentation is really helpful most of the time.

Frodev I did that tutorial too. It helped me a lot to understand the engine.

Do you understand the difference between local space and global space transforms?
