How to combine 2 scripts into one in godot

Question

Iam making a simple game in godot and I have 2 scripts for my plaer: movement and shooting. I would like to combine them somehow but IDK how. Also Im new to godot so I would appreciate if someone explained it to me with simple temrs. Thanks!!!

I tried to combine them manually with pasting everything into _ready and _process but it doesnt work like that.

Without knowing the details of your problem, this is the only solution that comes to mind:

• Copy the methods but give them a suffix. For example _ready_movement and _ready_shooting, and _process_movement and _process_shooting.

• Call them both from when appropriate. For example:

  func _ready() -> void:
      _ready_movement()
      _ready_shooting()
  

  And:

  func _process(delta:float) -> void:
      _process_movement(delta)
      _process_shooting(delta)
  

That should avoid problems of either early exit of one of the methods making the other not run (resulting in incorrect behavior), or some conflict between the naming of local variables (which would fail to parse).

It should also minimize the chances that you introduced some indentation issue when copying and pasting the code.
