In Godot 4.0.2 while making a platformer game, I'm using this code to create a coyote time effect, where moving off a platform still allows the character to jump for a short time while in midair. Using create_timer() with a float argument works as intended, but when I create a variable float and pass that as the argument, the timer runs out in much less time than expected.
Creating a timer with the following code and passing a float as the argument works correctly:
if is_on_floor() == false and can_jump == true and coyote_time == false:
coyote_time = true
await get_tree().create_timer(3.0).timeout
can_jump = false
coyote_time = false
However, if I create a variable for my argument as below, the timer is running out in much less than 3.0 seconds:
var coyote_time_timer = 3.0
if is_on_floor() == false and can_jump == true and coyote_time == false:
coyote_time = true
await get_tree().create_timer(coyote_time_timer).timeout
can_jump = false
coyote_time = false
I am new to programming, so there may be some fundamentals I'm misunderstanding here, but I don't know why this isn't working as expected.
