Attack animation won't start using the Animation Tree.

UnknownUser

Hi,

I have an issue where i can't seem to travel to the attack animation i set up. The idle, running and jumping animation seem to work just fine, but the light and strong attacks don't trigger any animation when running the game. It does print the test message i put there, so i'm confused about the origin of the problem. I used the KidsCanCode tutorial from Youtube, but i'm at my wits end. Some help would be much appreciated.

Here is a link to my GitHub page. https://github.com/D-Undefined/Starter-2D-Platformer

Thanks for helping out in advance!

I'm not sure if it will work for you, but I had the same problem and I just added a new variable called attacking, and then when you press the attack button, it sets attacking to true. From there, there are a few lines of code below that check if you are attacking.

if Input.is_action_pressed("attack"):
	attacking = true

if attacking:
	#now play the attacking animation here

I'm not 100% sure that this will work, but I tried this out and it helped alot.

Edit: In case the player is moving whilst attacking, you can have 2 lines of code in each moving function:

if Input.is_action_pressed("right"): #can also work for left
	if attacking:
		attacking = true
	else:
		#play the run animation

I hope this works for you :)

The code I wrote unindented itself...

You either have to indent all of it with at least a single tab, or you can use three ~ on either side of the code. I fixed it for you :smile:
