Okay, so I’m trying to make a main menu in GD and I ran in to a problem.

code____________
extends ColorRect

signal fade_finished

func fade_in():
$AnimationPlayer.play(“FadeIn”)

func on_AnimationPlayer_animation_finished(anim_name):
print_debug(“Emited!”)
emit_signal(“fade_finished”)
code end______

In the code I wrote to emit signal once animation is ended, and it doesn’t emit it. :confused: I’ve been stuck here for a while now.

Did you connect onAnimationPlayeranimationfinished to the player’s animation_finished?

$AnimationPlayer.connect("animation_finished", self, "onAnimationPlayeranimationfinished")

This code seems to not work, I tried and it doesn’t for me. I found a bug which is corrected since 2018 in github, but it’s not corrected correctly I think.

The best option would be to create a function that emits a signal, I will try it.

You can also write a function in the script of the AnimationPlayer that will emit a signal, and call it in the animation by adding a function call keyframe. Or just call the function of the receiver node directly.
