Is there a way to make an animation player act in local space?

Anitbeous

would like to be able to move a physics body via an animation player, for jumping mainly. I can get it to move in the y axis, but it will always put my character back to origin. I can and do create my jump functions through code normally, I would just like to have better control of jump height/time spent off the ground and thought this might be a good way of doing it. Is this just a bad idea in general?

Usually you would not use an animation to control jumping. See my code here for some ideas.

nice, I read that yesterday but it didn't click. thank you!

I had been handling gravity separately, and just turning it off while on the ground. It look like in your example because of the min/max y being based on screen height, that gravity and jumpspeed would be much more scalable on a per game basis. so again thank you.
