I’m working on a 2D shooter and trying to get the player’s laser beam to collide with enemy ships and deal damage. This is the code for the laser control node:
extends Node2D
const MAX_LENGTH = 1000
var max_cast_to = Vector2.ZERO
var damage = 50
onready var beam = $Beam
onready var end = $End
onready var raycast = $RayCast2D
func _physics_process(delta):
max_cast_to = MAX_LENGTH
if raycast.is_colliding():
print("yes")
var target = raycast.get_collider()
end.global_position = raycast.get_collision_point()
if target.is_in_group("enemy"):
target.health -= damage
else:
end.global_position = raycast.cast_to
if Input.is_action_pressed("shoot"):
raycast.cast_to.x = 1000
beam.scale.x = 1000
beam.position.x = 1000
else:
raycast.cast_to.x = 0
beam.scale.x = 0
beam.position.x = 0
This is the code for the enemy:
extends KinematicBody2D
export var health = 100
func _physics_process(delta):
if health <= 0:
queue_free()
I’ve done some troubleshooting. I’ve tried setting the raycast to cast to x = 1000 through the editor and got rid of the part of the code that manipulates the raycast to see if that was causing an issue. I’ve tried changing the collision layers and masks. The raycast is definitely set to the ‘enemy’ mask and the enemy is definitely set to the ‘enemy’ layer. I’ve tried removing the Position2D node called ‘End’ which I intend to use to draw the laser effects later. I’ve tried closing Godot and opening it again. All to no avail. Any idea what I’ve missed? Thanks
