What's the best way to trigger an animation on diagonal movement?

That’s very helpful. Thank you!

@normalized

var anim = "idle" # if you have it
if velocity.x < 0:
	anim = "run_left"
if velocity.x > 0:
	anim = "run_right"
if velocity.y < 0:
	anim = "run_up"
if velocity.y > 0:
	anim = "run_down"
$AnimatedSprite2D.animation = anim

I added that code and it worked perfectly. I didn’t have an idle animation but I’m making one. Thank you again for your help. It was very informative.

Edit: that code was also one of the simplest solutions for movement that I’ve seen. I’m trying to find the simplest code commands for every process. I really like that one.
