Crouch Animation only works while moving

Godot 4.4

I made a basic Input.is_key_just_pressed and Input.is_key_just_unpressed and the animations I set only trigger while walking with WASD. Is there a better line I can use so the animation plays how I wish? Thank you!

	if Input.is_action_pressed("crouch"):
		anim_tree.set("parameters/Crouch/blend_amount", velocity.length() / SPEED)
	if Input.is_action_just_released("crouch"):
		anim_tree.set("parameters/Standing_Base/blend_amount", velocity.length() / SPEED)
	


	# Get the input direction and handle the movement/deceleration.
	# As good practice, you should replace UI actions with custom gameplay actions.
	var input_dir := Input.get_vector("left", "right", "forward", "backward")
	var direction := (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).normalized()
	direction = direction.rotated(Vector3.UP, spring_arm_pivot.rotation.y)
	if direction:
		velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x, direction.x * SPEED, lerp_val)
		velocity.z = lerp(velocity.z, direction.z * SPEED, lerp_val)
		armature.rotation.y = lerp_angle(armature.rotation.y, atan2(-velocity.x, -velocity.z), lerp_val)
		
	else:
		velocity.x = lerp(velocity.x, 0.0, lerp_val)
		velocity.z = lerp(velocity.z, 0.0, lerp_val)
		
	anim_tree.set("parameters/Run/blend_amount", velocity.length() / SPEED) ```

You are using velocity.length() as the blend amount, could you replace this with 1.0 to always function regardless of velocity?

It works, thank you!

Here’s a vid of the result, don’t mind the eldritch abomination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgVPxYBlogo

haha I’m guessing you’d want 0.0 for the blend amount when released
