Question

My movement code:

extends CharacterBody2D

const SPEED = 150.0
const JUMP_VELOCITY = -350.0

@onready var animatedsprite = $AnimatedSprite2D

var is_attacking = false

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
	if is_attacking:
		return
	# Handle gravty if in the air
	if not is_on_floor():
		velocity += get_gravity() * delta

	# Handle jumping
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept") and is_on_floor():
		animatedsprite.play("jump")
		velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY

	# Handle attacking (only if not already attacking)
	elif Input.is_action_just_pressed("attack") and animatedsprite.animation != "attack":
		is_attacking = true
		animatedsprite.play("attack")

	# Handle movement and animation states (if not attacking)
	elif not is_on_floor():
		if animatedsprite.animation != "jump":
			animatedsprite.play("jump")
	else:
		var direction := Input.get_axis("ui_left", "ui_right")
		if direction > 0:
			animatedsprite.flip_h = false
		elif direction < 0:
			animatedsprite.flip_h = true

		if direction:
			if animatedsprite.animation != "run":
				animatedsprite.play("run")
			velocity.x = direction * SPEED
		else:
			velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, SPEED)
			if animatedsprite.animation != "default":  
				animatedsprite.play("default")


	# Apply the movement
	move_and_slide()


func _on_animated_sprite_2d_animation_finished() -> void:
	if animatedsprite.animation == "attack":
		is_attacking = false

when I jump or I am in midair I cant move left or right

Re-read your if statement from the “# Handle Jumping” IF structure. It says:

@praneshcodes

	if pressing jump button:
		# do something
	else if pressing attack button:
		# do something else
	else if in air:
		# do animation thing.
	else:
		# do movement thing

And your questions was “why can you not do the movement thing when you are in the air?”.

Can you see why you can’t move when you are in the air now?

Sorry I read the code like 8 to 9 times before posting a question I dont know how I missed

how do I mark it as solved I am quite new

Don’t worry. That is what the forum is for, to help when you get stuck.

It amazes me sometimes that we all have those ‘face palm moments’ when after head scratching and pondering about ‘why is it doing that?’ we realise something really daft.

Don’t let it stop you asking for help if you get stuck in the future. We love helping when we can.
