Animation not autoplaying

[pebsquik]

Godot Version

Godot 3.6

Question

my animation sprite isn’t showing I’ve seen tutorial’s but they are for Godot 4 and they say to press the auto-play button but that’s not in Godot 3.6 with no frames showing my character doesn’t show how do I set it to auto-play?

There’s no autoplay property in 3.6 so you should just call the play() function in the _ready() function.

[pebsquik]

can you paste in a line of code? I’m new to Godot

[isabelle_alejar]

#drag & drop your animated sprite node to the script to give the $ sign ig

@onready var animatedsprite = $AnimatedSprite2D

func _ready():
    animatedsprite.play("any_animation")

By the way why are you using an old update? Godot 4.4 has vulkan renderer, etc…

[pebsquik]

thanks for the code but I’ve got errors:(

(Node not found: “amimatedsprite” (relative to “/root/player/AnimatedSprite”).)

[pebsquik]

I tried without the typo and nothing changed

If the script is already on the AnimatedSprite2D, then you can just call play() directly.
