How do I activate this animation player on right-click?

Detonatress

I have several animation players assigned to one character, and I'm trying to activate an animation from one of them in the input event of the character.

func _input(event):
	if  Input.is_action_pressed("R_punch"):
		$"TSBM Drone/DroneRPunchANIM".play("Drone_PUNCH_R")

My settings have right punch set to mouse right-click (device 0). The problem is... when I right-click, nothing happens. Why?

it seems you should only change your if statement to this: if event.is_action_pressed("R_punch"):

As far as i understand, Input.is_action_pressed should be used inside the process functions.

I don't know what I did but these now work for some reason:

func _input(event):
	if  Input.is_action_pressed("R_Punch"):
		$"TSBM Drone/DroneRPunchANIM".play("Drone_PUNCH_R")
		
	if  Input.is_action_pressed("L_Punch"):
		$"TSBM Drone/DroneLPunchANIM".play("Drone_PUNCH_L")

I am confused since they're pretty much same codes.

strange it looks like thew exact same code... But if it works, it works :)
