Question

trying to set up an idle animation that plays when the player is no longer moving. I’m using a 2d sprite in a 3d world. All other animations work. I’ve tried different line to make it work.

this is how my code is set up right now

func _ready():
Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED)

func _input(event):
if dead:
return
if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
rotation_degrees.y -= event.relative.x * MOUSE_SENS
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“left”):
AniSprite.play(“Lwalk”)
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“right”):
AniSprite.play(“Rwalk”)
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“forward”):
AniSprite.play(“BackWalk”)
if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“back”):
AniSprite.play(“FrontWalk”)
if input_dir == false:
AniSprite.play(“Idle”)

List of things I’ve tried that hasn’t worked

else:
AniSprite.play("idle) didn’t work

if can_move == false:
AniSprite.play(“idle”)

if !can_move == false:
AniSprite.play(“idle”)

if input_dir == false:
	AniSprite.play("Idle")

If anyone has any ideas of what I’m doing wrong, I’d appreciate a comment, anything helps.

put this code in “_process” or “_physics_process”. This code only gets executed when you press a button which you wont do when you want to be idle

try this

extends CharacterBody2D
@onready var AniSprite: AnimationPlayer = $AnimationPlayer

func _ready():
	Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED)

func _input(event):
	if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
		rotation_degrees.y -= event.relative.x * MOUSE_SENS
		
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	if dead:
		return
	AniSprite.play("Idle")
	if Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
		AniSprite.play("Lwalk")
		await AniSprite.animation_finished
	if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
		AniSprite.play("Rwalk")
		await AniSprite.animation_finished
	if Input.is_action_pressed("forward"):
		AniSprite.play("BackWalk")
		await AniSprite.animation_finished
	if Input.is_action_pressed("back"):
		AniSprite.play("FrontWalk")
		await AniSprite.animation_finished

Thats because you always override the animation by calling “.play(“idle”)” everyframe
