Question

I wanted to combine both the animation tree and the state machine, and I wanted to do that without using Blendshape2d

but it got in the way and lost confidence and I don’t know how

Where your code says this, insert a reference to your animation tree. I recommend giving it a Unique Identifier in the Scene tab.

Then within your _change_state() function call the animation you want.

The Godot docs say that something like this should do the tricks:

# <-- here use your unique idenfiier -- it's more future proof
var state_machine = $AnimationTree.get("parameters/playback")
# <- insert your animation states here, depending on your other state machine. 
state_machine.travel('walk')

The state-machine approach is a good fit when the states are discrete. I’d use one AnimationTree connected to the AnimationPlayer, make its root an AnimationNodeStateMachine, and put the individual clips or sub-state machines inside it. Then obtain the playback object once and call travel() from your gameplay state changes; avoid trying to drive the same AnimationPlayer directly at the same time. Keep transitions responsible for switching states, and use a Blend2 or BlendSpace1D only where you actually need continuous blending. Also make sure the tree is active and its anim_player path points at the correct node. A small diagram of the desired states first usually makes the code much simpler.
