Hi! I was working on animations for my game and I ran into an issue. For context I use CharacterBody2D and AnimatedSprite2D. I want to make the collisions change at a character’s slash animation frame, but I don’t know how to go about this.
I can’t seem to use AnimationPlayer/Tree either because that requires a sprite sheet, and my sprite sizes for the different animations are vastly different and would clash if put into a single sprite sheet.

How different are the sizes exactly? Is it possible for you to put all the animations in a consistent sprite sheet given a large enough size?
Also I don't think AnimationPlayer always requires a sprite sheet if I recall - I was able to make color-changing and collision enabling/disabling animations for a Sprite2D with just one sprite using an AnimationPlayer node

Pretty different. Some sprites are really big compared to others. Also, how? From what I saw spritesheets were the only way

You'll need to put in a spritesheet if you use frame-related property (e.g. h_frames) but if you don't you can probably just assign a position-related property (forgot the exact name) to CollisionShape2D and add keyframes
'Sec, lemme open up an old project

Can I do this with AnimatedSprite2D?
verbal girder
I don't think you can, that one is for spritesheets only I think
Oh here it is
This screenshot shows me making an animation where the sprite changes its colour
AnimationPlayer, no spritesheets, just attached a single Sprite2D with a self_modulate property and add keyframes at time positions
If want my sprite to go from blue to red within 2 seconds for example I just put the blue keyframe at 0 and red keyframe at 2
I think CollisionShape2Ds should work the same way, you use the Node2D/position property and add keyframes, then change the position's value
Though you also have to consider the direction the player is facing so you don't have a guy facing right but the attack hitbox is left
Sorry it's been months since I used Godot xd
If you want to change the texture just use the Sprite2D/texture property
pallid orchid
Interesting! So the sprites don't need to be the same size either?
verbal girder
Nope, but you may have to re-center them yourself with a position property if the sizes are so different
pallid orchid
Bte the difference I'm talking is 100 more height and 40 width than the base sprite. That's for one attack.
verbal girder
It should be fine
pallid orchid
And the walking animations are different too based on direction.
verbal girder
You just gotta do some readjustments, I don't know the specifics of your sprites but anything's possible
pallid orchid
That's why I can't put them all in one spritesheet ;-;
