import animations and make them unique?

DJM

i'm trying to add an invoke method on animations however it doesn't work on imported animations (editor warning) i need to make them unique first. i tried saving the animations to a file. but how do i setup my animationplayer afterwards? how do u load the saved animations into the Animation Player of a new inherited scene? the animationplayer only shows the imported animations?

DJM

anyone?

I think the drop down button has a Load option

DJM

no, i tried saving the animations on import settings to .tres but cant find how to open them or edit them

In GD4 if you click "animation" button in animationPlayer you should see "manage animations" in there you should be able to select your .tres to open them.

~~I remember doing it in GD3 but never tried in GD4 though. Let me know too if it works :#~~

wait I did try it with GD4 so it should work

strange, i dont see a load function onmy end when i click animation. only > new or > add library, when selecting manage animations

Sorry I didn't mean "Load" as an actual name . Here are the steps I tested:

After clicking Manage Animations -Click Global Folder Sign (or plus sign (+) if you want to create new animation) -Choose your animation res file (You should now see your animation on the Timeline) -On the Save Disk Icon you can select Make Unique -Press Ok

is this godot3? im using godot4 alpha all i can do is 'manage animations' and then choose add animation library. there is no option on making them unique

Yes I did it with GD4 alpha 8

But now I tested with alpha 9 and I can not do it (all buttons are unclickable, even the trash icon). So maybe this is a bug.

*You can try doing the import animation stuffs in alpha 8 and continue working with alpha 9. But yea I never tested it this way so Back up your project first.

DJM

yes in alpha 9 no buttons are clickable at all. this is probably a bug.
