Manually? As in you can select them in other ways?
What have you tried? How many animations do you have in the SpriteFrames resource? Can you add/remove more animations?

#

I have tried creating a new animation and clicking on it but it won't let me access it only the one that is already selected

distant carbon
#

What does your SpriteFrames resource look like?

#

when you add a spriteframes resource to the animatedsprite2d node, and then click on that spriteframes resource, that should give you the interface you see on the bottom on the second image there

#

then you can click the new animation button on the top left part of that and use a sprite sheet you have imported to make individual animations

thin verge
#

it won't let me edit the animated sprite in the inspector either

distant carbon
#

this button

thin verge
#

I can't change anything about the animated sprite its like its frozen

#

I can edit other nodes just not this one and if i delete the node and get a new one it stil happens

distant carbon
#

can I get some screenshots?

thin verge
#

i don't think i can cause nothing visible has changes except i can't edit anything

distant carbon
#

you can show me what the interface looks like to you

#

are things greyed out? or does nothing happen when you click on them?

thin verge
#

here

distant carbon
#

alright, can you click the output tab at the bottom and see if there are any potential errors relating to this node?

thin verge
#

"Animation 'idle' doesn't exist."

#

thats the error

distant carbon
#

alright, can you click the reset arrow button thingy next to the idle option next to the animation?

thin verge
#

I can't click it

#

it won't let me click anything

distant carbon
#

but you can click on other nodes and see their details on the inspector?

thin verge
#

for some reason it just started work

#

i have no clue what just happened though

#

sorry for wasting your time

distant carbon
#

np

#

while it wasnt letting you click anything, were you able to interact with other things like changing scenes?

#

It is possible that Godot had a popup window that went offscreen and wasn't letting you interact with other things. If that is the case, you can fix it by going to project settings>window> (turn on advanced settings) and enable embed subwindows.

#

or editor> editor settings > interface > editor> single window mode

#

@distant carbon sorry to bother you but it started up again and i did the things you said to do but I can't edit anything except deleting and creating nodes

distant carbon
#

Right, when you select nodes, do you see their details in the inspector?

#

Also are there any errors on thte output tab?

thin verge
#

no errors and i do see the inspector but i can't edit anything within it

distant carbon
#

If you click on another node, does the inspector update to show it?

thin verge
#

yeah it updates i still can't edit anything

distant carbon
#

hmm. Did you try closing and re-opening the project?

#

Sorry, I have been trying myself to see what could create a situation like that but I haven't been able to find anything.

#

The only other things I can think of are:

#

1: Is your project file located in a place where you don't have the user permissions to edit files in? This is probably not the case if it started happening mid-project.

#

2:Is your scene file imported from another project? If this was the case you would at least see a message saying you cant modify the nodes.

I am sorry. I don't have any other ideas about what it could be.
