How To Add Mobile Controls in Godot (Tutorial)

In this video, I will walk you step-by-step through the process of adding mobile touch controls to your mobile game using the Godot Engine.

In this video we'll focus on the mechanics of adding the mid-air dash to your player, rather than the level design.

If you're interested in adding a virtual joystick to your mobile game, check out the video here.

If you need help grayboxing or prototyping levels check out an earlier video I did demonstration how to quickly prototype (graybox) levels.

The button icons can be downloaded from here:

This was very helpful, thank you!

Just a note, if you are doing this on mobile, dont change the settings at 3:16, or it will make it so you can't use the editor when you open your project later.

Thank you very much for this guide, it was the only way I was able to understand this aspect of GODOT.

I made the canvas layer a child of the controls node, but my buttons appear above the player, and they’re slightly smaller. They follow the screen but they’re out of place. In the test window they’re in the right place but on my phone screen it’s out of place. Also, I exported for web.

Buttons don't work and is not in camera😢

Sorry if my English is bad! (I use Google translator)

I want to warn you about the problem I encountered! (And found the cause of the problem)

If you use TuchScreenButton - do not bind inputs to Func _inputs() at all. Bind Inputs to _process()

Otherwise, the inputs are repeated 2-3 times!

To understand what I'm talking about, write two such codes!

func Inputs():
if
var HP += 1
$Label.text = str(HP)

func _process():
if
var HP += 1
$Label.text = str(HP)

[luckyproject]

Cool) Thank you. Please help me, I encountered a problem after unloading the game on Android. In the battle scene, I have 3 buttons, right and left, and an attack button. I need the phone screen to respond only to these buttons.. but now it shoots if you press anywhere on the screen.
