    extends CharacterBody2D

func _physics_process(delta):
	var input_direction=Vector2(
		Input.get_action_strength("player_right") - Input.get_action_strength("player_left")
		Input.get_action_strength("player_down") - Input.get_action_strength("player_up")
	)

print(input_direction)

It says

Line 9:Unexpected “Identifier” in class body.

You can’t just have a print statement floating around in your code like that (your have an indentation problem). you must call print (or any function/logic statement for that matter) inside a function. Adding print in your _physics_process function as follows should fix the compilation error:

extends CharacterBody2D

func _physics_process(delta):
    var input_direction=Vector2(
        Input.get_action_strength("player_right") - Input.get_action_strength("player_left")
        Input.get_action_strength("player_down") - Input.get_action_strength("player_up")
    )

    print(input_direction)

Also, I believe you may be missing a , in your Vector2 call, but I am not sure

GDScript is indent based language so you gotta be careful on how you are tabbing things.

Make sure to have this enabled on your settings:
Editor Settings → Text Editor → Appearance → Draw Tabs

Make things much easier to see
