Select correct path for the @onready variables at lines 7 and 8.

Yeah it isn't included in the tutorial video. I just deleted line 21, "var aligned_force = twist_pivot.basis * input" and everything started working fine.

for anyone who's having issues, this code seems to work for me. :)

You should still be able to follow along with his video in terms of scene trees just make sure the pitch and twist pivots are correct and I used a characterbody3d instead of a rigidbody3d. (Just watch his video and then use this code if you have issues)

Bro using this code in godot 4 the player just fips down starts to roll how can i fix it

Turn on Deactivation -> Lock Rotation in the properties for the base player object
