How can i make my sprite follow my cursor withour shaking like crazy? Lowering the speed makes the shaking low too but it also makes my sprite in general slow, please i don’t know what to do right now
const SPEED = 500
func _ready():
pass
func _process(delta):
var vec = get_viewport().get_mouse_position() - self.position
vec = vec.normalized() * delta * SPEED
position += vec

In each frame I think your character will overshoot the cursor, so it moves back in the direction of the cursor and overshoots again because each frame it’s moving by a few pixels.
Try this:
func _process(delta):
var vec = get_viewport().get_mouse_position() - self.position
var movement = vec.normalized() * delta * SPEED
if movement.length_squared() < vec.length_squared():
position += movement
else:
position += vec
This will only move your player if the movement vector you are adding to position is smaller than the distance to the mouse, otherwise it just moves to the mouse. You can use a ternary statement to achieve the same thing if you think the above is too many lines.
Also, I have used length_squared() instead of length() because this has better performance, and the actual numbers don’t matter because you’re just checking if one vector is bigger than the other.
