how to code Idle animation to play Idle 2 and 3 depending on how much time player’s Idle?

2

Accumulate player’s idle time and when it crosses a certain threshold - switch to next animation.

3

Ok how?

func _idle_state():
	print("Idle")
	animated_sprite.play("Idle")
	$Ground.disabled = false
	$AirHover.disabled = true
	$AirForward.disabled = true
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Fly"):
		velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
		current_state = States.FLYING
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Interact"):
		for area in $InteractZone.get_overlapping_areas():
			if area.has_method("on_interact"):
				area.on_interact(self)
		current_state = States.INTERACTING
	elif Input.is_action_pressed("EnterCall"):
		current_state = States.TALKING

Who and when calls _idle_state()?

If the animations are always played in the same sequence, then you can combine them into a single idle animation.

6

When Player speed is 0 and is on Ground

7

issue with that i will have to extend Normal Idle animation Frames alot

8

That’s when. Now who does it?

A simple generalized solution would be to just tween the sequence of animations. As soon as player touches controls - cancel the tween.

9

func _ready(): Call Idle State when game Start

10

func _ready():
states[States.IDLE].call()

11

You can do it with a tween as I mentioned above.

12

that works with animatedSprite2d?

13

It works with anything. Sequence the play() calls using tween_callback() and tween_interval()

14

Thanks, i will go to documents to learn about tween and how it works

They have to go somewhere. Whether they’re spread over many small animations or a single large animation is usually just a personal preference. They are the same either way, unless you need to reuse the animations elsewhere.

ye this could work too
