Help trying to implement an in between sprite animation

[potent idol]

I have a simple sprite animation that I want to play between landing on the ground and the idle animation, but everything I try either plays the animation in an endless loop, or plays only the first frame of the animation and skips right to idle

Hello , DO you need help in creating

[cinder nymph]

your current code right now is not very conducive of adding stuff like transitions. and it's very beginner basic and disorganized - the further you go down this line the more difficult it is to add additional sprites and actions

what you need is to reorganize all your code into a state machine

and then transitions are just a state, fall -> transition -> idle states

plenty of state machine tutorials on youtube.

ditto. you need state machines, right now your code is very 'hard to control' any bigger changes

like you have a long list of if statements etc. but like all of them gonna check each one every step if they're true and then run the one that is true, but then continue to checking the rest of them and run the following ones if they're true

which is gonna lead to an execution salad

if else chain would be better to stop checking for following statements that are at that point already irrelevant but state machine would be even better so you're not checking for things that are now irrelevant to your current state

I added them all to a state machine and it's working much better now!
