Question
Having an issue with a enemy animation transition.
When the enemy dies while in attack state the enemy finishes the attack animation and then disappears instead of playing the death animation
I’ve tried some things but decided to try playback.travel to force the animation transition but I get the error " cannot call method ‘travel’ on null value"
Enemy code:
#things to do:
#1
#Skeleton dead animation should interrupt attack animation
#currently it dosent and skeleton disappears after attack animation is finished
#2
#if player enters "start area attack shape" in the last frames when enemy isn't
#damaging the player, the skeleton won't attack again and will keep walking forward
