Hello,
I am programming a fun game, for me and my friends. Its nothing special. Its a Platformer like Mario. In my secound world I wanted to add ranged enemies, but I can’t manage to do it. I searched everywhere in the internet, but didn’t find something. And the videos I found, I didn’t understand it. So can I may ask you for a tutorial how to do this? It would be really nice and would help me out. Hopefully someone answers me

More clear with the question, is it the shooting behaviour, the “shoot kan kill player” behaviour or what?

I think the best example would be shooter game tutorial , but apply the player logic for shooting enemies from the video to the enemies instead.

the basic flow that I can think of:

create a bullet scene (for instancing) contain area2D or RigidBody2D depends on your need, with logic of moving in 1 direction

enemy scene → create a timer signal → on_timeout , instance a bullet in front of the enemy sprite → if the bullet collision with player / player body entered the bullet, run damaging the player function

don’t forget to queue_free the bullet so it doesn’t make the game lag
