Question
I’m running into two issues related to animations in my 2D project:
- Animation ‘’ doesn’t exist error
Right after I run the scene, I get this error in the console:
E 0:00:01:069 get_frame_count: Animation '' doesn't exist.
<Erro C++> Condition "!E" is true. Returning: 0`
<Origem C++> scene/resources/sprite_frames.cpp:71 @ get_frame_count()
I don’t have any animations with an empty name in my project, so I’m not sure why this is showing up.

AnimationTree not playing animations correctly
The second issue is that my character’s animations aren’t behaving as expected:
- The movement speed feels way too fast.
- The animations don’t always play, or they seem stuck.
- Even if I change the time scale (globally or for the animations), it doesn’t fix the problem.
Here’s a simplified version of the player script:
extends CharacterBody2D
var play_animation
var move_speed: int = 100
var last_direction := Vector2(0, -1)
var move_horizontal: bool = false
var move_vertical: bool = false
var weapon_equipped: bool = false
var bullet_scene = preload("res://Scenes/Weapons/Shotgun/shotgun_bullet.tscn")
var animation_tree: AnimationTree
func _ready() -> void:
animation_tree = $Animation/AnimationTree
play_animation = animation_tree.get("parameters/playback")
func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
player_movement()
player_animation()
move_and_slide()
func player_movement():
var player_move: Vector2 = Input.get_vector("move_left", "move_right", "move_up", "move_down")
velocity = player_move * move_speed
func player_animation():
var is_idle = !velocity
if !is_idle:
last_direction = velocity.normalized()
animation_tree.set("parameters/walk/blend_position", last_direction)
animation_tree.set("parameters/idle/blend_position", last_direction)
