Open Source Glasgow

• Create 3D spatial node, called World
• Add child node, create KinematicBody, called Player
• Add child node to player, type Collision Shape, type capsule
• Make vertical. Transform x by 90 degrees.
• Click capsule shape dropdown, Set radius to 0.75, height to 1.25.
• To player, add child node, type spatial, name it head
• Add child node to head, type camera, move it to around 0.9 on the Y axis
• Add a child to the player node, add meshinstance with shapre capsule
• Size the capsule to the collision mesh - click on capusulemesh then 0.75 radius, height 1.25 and transform rotate 90 on x
• Add new child now to World, MeshInstance, CubeMesh
• drag below player, then scale to a floor size (20×20 or whatever)
• Click, Mesh, create convex static body
• Save Player as Scene
• Enter Player scene
• edit input map (Project → Project Settings → Input Map)
• add move_forward, move_backward, move_left, move_right and jump
• assign keys (WASD, space)
• Right Click player, attach script, default, template empty

• Test the above code out, now lets add some camera/head controls

• Axis, blue is Z (left to right generally), green is Y (up and down), X is red, back and forward (depth)
• Explain viewports:
  • move mode:
    • middle mouse - change position
    • shift middle, move around in 3d space
    • right mouse - change angle
  • rotate mode:
    • middle rotate around object
  • mouse wheel zoom
  • F to focus on object, O to focus on origin
  • right mouse, WASD
