Question

Hello everyone

I am trying to make a visual indication in my game to show about an attack (look at the small thing below), but as I try to look at how to do it, I’m getting more and more confused
Test

I have both the knight and the slash separated as resources, but every tutorial I look, I have advices on how I handle a still sprite with AnimationPlayer, or how to use AnimatedSprite for looped actions like walking or idle, but not for one animation that is played once at demand; Can someone enlight me ?

Thank you in advance

You can just use AnimatedSprite.

So I can just put the animated sprite in the Knight’s node and execute it when needed ?
