AnimationTreePlayer doesn't find animations

MagicLord

Hi there,

I have a character with animations playing in Godot. The character has an AnimationTreePlayer node, after adding new Animation node to the AnimationTreePlayer, the load button doesn't find any animations ? Because the animations are available directly under the AnimationPlayer or in the Collada file.

If I remember correctly, there’s a trick to it. I don’t remember what it is right now, but it’s late here and my mind is turning into a pumpkin, so that’s probably why I don’t remember.

I’d look at the Platformer demo from the demo repository, as that’s where I remember figuring out how the AnimationTreePlayer node works. I’ll try and take a look tomorrow if you haven’t figured it out by then.

In the AnimationTreePlayer properties you must assign the AnimationPlayer, then your animations will be available for each animation node you create.

I did not find tutorials how to make a 3D animation to loop, while i finally found there is a button in the AnimationPlayer to setup an animation to loop :D I hope we'll see more and more 3D games tutorials with setups, because those are missing.

Sorry about the delay, got side tracked with stuff.

I'm glad you figured it out!

Yeah, most of the animation related stuff is pretty much undocumented and some of it is not terribly intuitive.

I hope so! There is definitely a lack of tutorials for 3D stuff in Godot, especially for animation.
