godot version 4.6 After watching tutorial on a Godot 4 3D - FPS Melee Attack and currently having a problem. I made animations for attacking and idle, as well as added the “enemy” as a group. I have added code to make animation to play when press the left mouse key as tutorial has stated as well added when the attack animation is finished to start and loop animation idle to play but it doesn’t seem to switch to idle animation.
If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

Please post the relevant code, we can’t help you without seeing your code.
The code you added relies on AnimationPlayer.animation_finished to return to idle. In Godot, that signal is only emitted when a non-looping animation reaches its end. Check the Animation panel for attack and turn Loop off, and verify the exact animation name is attack and the signal is connected to this same AnimationPlayer.
A simple structure would be:
gdscript
func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event.is_action_pressed("attack"):
hitbox.monitoring = true
anim_player.play("attack")
func _on_animation_player_animation_finished(anim_name: StringName) -> void:
if anim_name == &"attack":
hitbox.set_deferred("monitoring", false)
anim_player.play("idle")
```
If you do not want attacks to restart while one is playing, add `and not anim_player.is_playing()` to the input condition. Also check that the attack animation itself does not contain a method track that calls `play("attack")` again, since that would keep it from reaching its end.
As requested i have changed the code to the above and have made sure the attack animation is not looping and the exact animation name is attack the signal is also connected to the same animation player. its sadly still not working
