visual scripting??

[Invoke]

any plans for visual scripting for people who cant code as i use voice dictation to type most stuff?

Godot is open source, you can add VisualScript module for Godot 4 by yourself.
Github here : https://github.com/godotengine/godot-visual-script

By the way, I think GDScript is more easy to use than VisualScript......

For voice dictation ChatGPT (Godot 3) or Bing Chat (Godot 4) may be worth a try, so you can start with GDScript right away and let the written algorithms explain to you until you get it and also there's a lot of support on the community channels for further advice.
Visual Scripting in Godot hasn't been very popular and was eventually removed as an official component which means there won't be as much support available as for GDScript or it may be flawed in some specific case.

i appreciate the responses i was asking not because i didn't want to learn GDscript but because typing is hard for me with out dictation and from my from my limit experience coding in any language and dictation do not mix well

Hello Invoke,

best option would be a dictation tool made for coding, otherwise results are... meh.
I could imagine there are some plugins for VS Code too.
Definitely look for the supported languages and accents.

Using an AI for the job sounds okay, but don't let the AI generate code snippets for you, it's not rare that they grab outdated stuff from the internet!

You could try to produce some pseudocode and let an AI smooth it out.

But TBH why not start a project with friends, writing the code is not the important thing, nor being fast, but your idea's and logics are.
Do not emphasize on your weakness, play out your strengths. (brain > muscle)

Godot had a visual scripting in the past - but it was so terrible, that they scrapped it.
And they definitely did a right thing.

I know, this sounds harsh - but you should learn how to code.
And you should start learning it as soon, as possible.
If you'll become a professional programmer - you will solve 80% of all your problems.
You will save LOTS of time, money and effort.
And trying to avoid coding - you will lose lots of time and effort on roundabouts.
And, after few years of failures, you will at last accept the fact, you need how to write a code.
So really - game development is all about programming. Sorry. Sad but true.
Face a problems head-on. No roundabouts.

You want to be a game developer and don't know how to code?
Learn it.
There's no other ways.

And Godot is a great engine to start learning a programming.

I agree learning to code is essential.

But i think its about an impairment and finding solutions to work with it.

I am not sure about this (I didn't really use it), but there's some dictation information mayby helpful.

He use a dictation software "Talon Voice" to code.
For example, Talon Voice - python : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddFI63dgpaI&list=PL2wTcyeSmhsbPZYt65mRiKSeuq6WU-rXZ&index=2

GDScript is similar to python, maybe Talon Voice will be helpful.
And Talon Voice has a free public version.
