Issue with jump animation.

[blazing path]

If the jump button is pressed then the character moves up however the animation doesnt play. I have a feeling it could be due to the animation being overwritten but i cant figure out why. I have recently added a stamina system and that works fine but the jump animation no longer works. This is probably an easy fix but I don't have the technical skills to figure it out yet. Thanks in advance.

Well to be honest, this is a little confusing, but can you write in the play animation code to check if the code is working.

If is_on_floor():
---
else:
Animated_sprite.play("jump")
Print("it works")

[blazing path]

yup it is printing "it works" it just doesnt play the animation

[white sluice]

Hm, strange, how many times does it print that when the player isn't on the ground?

I think i know what's going on, can you see what's logic going on in # duck?
It is saying if the down arrow key is not pressed then the "still" animation shall play

You check this theory, we can use a code to check what's the current animation is playing, with that we can see which animation is playing when you press jump, i think the code goes like this :

if $AnimatedSprite2D.is_playing():
    print("Currently playing:", $AnimatedSprite2D.animation)
else:
    print("Not playing any animation")

[blazing path]

yeah something is not right

[blazing path]

it prints many times

[white sluice]

What's the error?

[white sluice]

Oh, the code is ok but the placement of it is wrong, you can see godot saying unexpected

[blazing path]

so do i need to move it somewhere?

[white sluice]

Yup

Where is it exactly now?

[blazing path]

hopefully you caan see

[white sluice]

Yup, so the problem is, ">|", can you see those indents before the other if statements? That's what we want, just go in the front of if $aninayed2d.isplaying(). Then press TAB

I am talking about these guys if I wasn't clear

[blazing path]

cool, i got that working but for some reason its playing the jump animation aparently?

i just cant see it

[blazing path]

maybe it is helpfull to know a bit more about it? there are a couple animations i have, still is a slowed down idle, idle is a sort of breathing animation, run is an animation for moving, and jump bassically acts as a falling animation. i shouldve named thewm better but oh well

i figured out how to fix the jump but now my character has the idle animation even when stamina is full and also the run animation when not even moving sometimes. im verry confused now lol

[white sluice]

Lol, how did you fixed the jump animation problem?

[white sluice]

Well your jump animation is not that different, maybe it is playing but just isn't getting noticed?

[blazing path]

oh i just spent the time re-writing the code and made it a bit more thought out and simpler

i have also fixed the running problem it is just the idle being played even at max stamina that i cant fix

it will play the still animation at the start when the stamina is full but as soon as the stamina is below max, even if it returns to max the idle animation still plays

[white sluice]

You code is little bit repetitive, so Maybe try something like this:

# Play animations
if is_on_floor():
    if direction == 0:
        if stamina == max_stamina:
            animated_sprite.play("still")
        else:
            animated_sprite.play("idle")
    else:
        animated_sprite.play("run")
else:
    animated_sprite.play("jump")

[blazing path]

yeah i see how my code was a bit crazy thanks for cleaning it up. im still having the issue with idle being played even at max stam

[white sluice]

Well for that we have to see if the stamina is actually equal to max_stamina because if idle animation is still playing that means stamina is not equal to max, can you print stamina to make sure it's the same value as the max one?

[blazing path]

I have a label that already displays stamina and even when it is max it doesn’t play the still animation

[white sluice]

Well that's complicated i guess, can you share you project? So that i can view you entire code and then fix it?

[blazing path]

Yeah sure how would I do that?

[white sluice]

You can compress the project file and then share it here, you can find the project file's location from godot or just go to the documents folder and see if you are able to get the file

[blazing path]

there you go its probably really messy because this is my first time coding lol

[white sluice]

Haha we all were there at some point, i mean i am still there but no worries lol, i will check the code and tell you the problem

[white sluice]

So i got the problem, it's that you are adding the stamina in float not in integers, meaning the stamina is going 90,90.1,90.2, which makes it 100.0048 or something like that, meaning it's not == to max_stamina(100). So the code doesn't work, two simple fixes, add the stamina with integers, not with delta(it's a float value), or just write if stamina >= max_stamina :
Play animation sprint.
I hope i explained correctly lol

If not, then in summary, the "stamina" variable value is going above 100(max value), so it doesn't work, simple fix is just write if stamina >=max_stamina:

[blazing path]

Nice. What does >= mean just so I understand it?

Also I used delta so it would slowly increase or decrease the stamina but I don’t know another way of doing that tbh

[white sluice]

Well >= means greater or equal, it is used when we want something to happen when a value is either == 100 or is > than 100. In our case the stamina was going beyond 100, so we just said, if stamina is equal to or is greater than 100(max_stamina) then do something

[white sluice]

Well there are like alot, using timers, making function for adding something, etc, you can search online for simple ones to add only integer numbers(without using delta ofc)

[blazing path]

Damn thanks so much for the help your a life saver. Got it working now thanks to you and thanks for explaining everything aswell.
