Here is the code:.

extends CharacterBody2D

class_name Player

@onready var animation = $AnimationPlayer
@onready var sprite = $Sprite2D

@export var speed = 200.0
@export var jump_height = -400.0

var gravity = ProjectSettings.get_setting(“physics/2d/default_gravity”)

@export var attacking = false

func _ready():
GameManager.player = self

func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“attack”):
attack()

func _physics_process(delta):
if Input.is_action_pressed(“left”):
sprite.scale.x = abs(sprite.scale.x) * -1
$Area2D.scale.x = abs($Area2D.scale.x) * -1
if Input.is_action_pressed(“right”):
sprite.scale.x = abs(sprite.scale.x)
$Area2D.scale.x = abs($Area2D.scale.x)

if not is_on_floor():
	velocity.y += gravity * delta

if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor():
	velocity.y = jump_height
	
	
var direction = Input.get_axis("left", "right")
if direction:
	velocity.x = direction * speed
else:
	velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, speed)

update_animation()
move_and_slide()

if position.y >= 600:
	die()

func attack():
var overlapping_objects = $AttackArea.get_overlapping_areas()

for area in overlapping_objects:
	if area.get_parent().is_in_group("Enemies"):
		area.get_parent().die()

attacking = true
var rand_attack = randi_range(1, 3)	
if rand_attack == 1:
	animation.play("attack1")
elif rand_attack == 2:
	animation.play("attack2")
elif rand_attack == 3:
	animation.play("attack3")

func update_animation():
if !attacking:
if velocity.x != 0:
animation.play(“run”)
else:
animation.play(“idle”)

	if velocity.y < 0:
		animation.play("jump_start")
	if velocity.y > 0:
		animation.play("jump_end")

func die():
GameManager.respawn_player()

func _on_area_2d_area_shape_entered(area_rid, area, area_shape_index, local_shape_index):
pass # Replace with function body.

so you wanted it to be from attack 1 to atack2 to attack 3 with sequence if pressed “attacK” when attack 1 or attack 2 is playing? will it record every count of attack pressed when there’s attack 1/2/3 playing and made it jusst do the amount of attack pressed or only 1 attack is continued?

or you wanted it to be knowing last attack pressed , so when the next of attack button is pressed, it’s the next attack sequence (doesnt matter if the previous attack animation is playing or not)

3

So basically, I want it to be attack one, stop, attack two, stop, then attack 3. And if you don’t press the button again it resets to attack 1.

so there need to be a few frame/time that only receiving input of attack to continue the attack else it will failed?

5

Yeah.
So, attack 1 => input => attack 2 or attack 1=> no input => attack 1

6

is the input continuous, i.e. the player has to hold down a button the whole time to execute all 3 attacks, and as soon as they release the button it resets to attack 1?

or is it “as long as they’re tapping a button fast enough” kind of situation?

or, does the player have to press a button during a certain moment of each attack (like during its last few frames)?

7

Yeah, like it can only do another attack after the last few frames.

this video worked for me. is for spamming an input to have a sequence of attacks.

this one is for the LimboAi state machine addon. in the end i just kind of mixed what i learned in both of the videos.
