Inputs not working in Editor for me?

[TerryCavanagh]

Hey!

What a cool idea! I'm excited to maybe make a small contribution <3

I don't have a huge amount of experience with Godot, but when I clone this to my computer and try running it, the inputs don't work. The player.gd file has code that looks like this:

	if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
		motion.x += ACCEL
		sprite.play("run")
		# pointing the character in the direction he's running
		sprite.flip_h = false
	elif Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
		motion.x -= ACCEL
		sprite.play("run")
		sprite.flip_h = true

But these don't match the inputs described in the included project.godot file:

I might be missing something dumb here, but if not: should the action names in the scripts maybe be changed to match the godot defaults?

strange! i haven't heard anyone else bring this issue up so far (of course, the sample size is very small 🙃)

do you have a non-standard keyboard layout? are you on an older version of godot (the project was made with 3.4.4)? it looks to me like the keybinds are just missing for some reason (e.g. those two "K" icons under "left" should have "Up Arrow" and "W" next to them)

[iznaut]

fyi - here's what my input map looks like (i notice i have "A" icons instead of "K".....maybe this is a version difference?)

Indeed, the A icon denotes we define a physical key and not a key (e.g. physical w would be z on an azerty keyboard). This was introduced in Godot 3.4 so contributors should make sure to use Godot 3.4 or newer. Maybe this could be added to the readme?

[iznaut]

thanks for clarifying! i think i did specify the version number in the README at one point but streamlined it out....the download links DO point to 3.4.4 directly, but i was so concerned about getting new folks onboarded i forgot to consider folks that are already using godot!

(you're welcome to update the readme if you feel like it, otherwise i'll make a note of it and do so later!)

Whoops yes sorry, I will just update 😅
