Unable to declare animation tree

[Spykra]

Godot Version: 4.6

Question:

Hello! I need help, as I cannot declare an animation tree, because it literally doesn’t show up when I put the $ sign

Hierarchy:

I noticed that the text under the ‘Tank’ node is yellow. Might have something to do with this problem.

I also cannot make the ‘Tank’ node a characterbody3d because I need the ‘RootPart’ CollisionShape3D to rotate (totally not imitating Roblox lol), and if I do make the ‘Tank’ node a CharacterBody3D, it messes up the model’s rotation, which I am completely unable to fix.

More of this game engine ragebaiting me:

I am able to declare the animation player and the armature but never the animation tree. I also have saved the ‘Tank’ node as a .tscn file.

I cannot provide a screenshot of the declaration because whenever I try to declare an object with $, it has like a 85% chance to not show up.

But here’s the script if that’s somehow useful (I am only able to declare the AnimationPlayer)

And here’s the AnimationTree’s properties:

Any help would be appreciated, and if there’s more I need to show, let me know! Thanks!

It should work fine, you can right-click the Tank in your Player scene and select “Editable Children” to view the children of that scene, similarly in yellow. If the AnimationTreedoesn’t appear there then maybe the scene is missing it or you are instantiating an imported GLB/FBX scene rather than your inherited TSCN scene from Godot.

Beyon the answer from @gertkeno which is correct, I can’t understand why Player needs to control an animation played for a Tank as child. I think your Tank should handle its own animations.

Oh, I did not notice that. Thanks so much!
