Hello!

I am trying to make 2d sidescroller platformer shooter game in pure GDScript instead of C#, at which i am new.

I know that there are tuts, I have read them, but they aren’t helping me much with the current issue, that is nowhere to be seen described.

The game is copying the famous “Plazma Burst 2” game.
( https://www.plazmaburst2.com/ )

I want to copy the mouse movement, aim and shooting as it is seen in game, but i cannot figure it out.

I’ve searched the entire web for solution, from these QA, to Facebook group, … and still no clue.

How would i implement this? How exactly? How will the script look like?

What do you have so far?
This should be enough for aiming with the camera enter image description here

Hello!

yes i’ve just started with this project

I don’t have much, just a placeholder sprites, test scene with static body + collisionshape2d + sprite (that makes up floor) and player scene with same hierarchy except it is kinematicbody2d instead of staticbody2d and added camera2d with “current” enabled

In fact i have very basic player movement implemented

here is the project compressed in ZIP format of the things i have
