Godot Version
4.6
Question
My player sprite broke when i replaced the placeholder with the actual sprite.
ive been using an online tutorial to help create a base for a 2d game, “Make a 2D Action & Adventure RPG in Godot 4” by Micheal Games on youtube. ive been using the free sprites he provides, and have decided to replace them with my own, starting with the player. it looks normal in the viewport, but when i playtest the game, it gets super pixelated and distorts when it moves, not slightly either, like it stretches across the screen and doesnt go back to normal
stuff like this keeps happening, this sprite was sized up and is shrinking, the sprite i want to use is resized to 0.1 and stretches back to its original x size

im not sure what exactly to give yalls to mkaeit easier to figure out, so i thought to show everythin, none of the code is mine as stated, its all word for word from the tutorial i mentioned
for the record, the entire thing worked perfectly fine on the example sprite sheet attached to the tutorial.
i think its really important to mention i am an absolute noob at coding, so if anyones got any solution ideas, could you explain them in as much detail as possible? such as where to approximately insert a line of code, for example.
