Hi,I want to make a sprite move when you press a key and don’t know how to do it.

Hi.
You need Node2D methods and Input methods. Check the docs.
As an example, I made this script quickly.
extends Sprite
var speed = 100
var vel = Vector2()
func _ready():
set_process(true)
func _process(delta):
if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_RIGHT):
vel = Vector2(speed, 0)
elif Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_LEFT):
vel = Vector2(-speed, 0)
elif Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_UP):
vel = Vector2(0, -speed)
elif Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_DOWN):
vel = Vector2(0, speed)
else:
vel = Vector2(0, 0)
set_pos(get_pos() + vel * delta)
That still didn’t work. I have something using the same keycodes do you think that would affect it?

Copy-pasting the example straight in a new scene works for me. I can control a sprite with the arrow keys.
Did you properly set the position of your sprite with set_pos after determining the movement (vel)?

@bunnybot.
I believed you hadn’t started a project yet. You need to give more informations.
Where do you use theses keycodes ?
Have you received error messages in the debugging tab ?
Did you attach the script, as is, to the sprite ? Or have you pasted it into another script ?

Yay it worked but is it possible to make the sprite invisible until something is pressed?

And also to just make it keep increasing even once you’ve let go of the ky

If you have other questions, I suggest you ask them in a new thread, so people can see them directly rather than having to search in a comment of an unrelated thread.
