grimm_ my collisionshape2d doesn't follow the animation.
My understanding that an AnimatedSprite2D is simply a series of images that are displayed. The engine doesn't know what's inside the images, and you can't make anything change based on that.
If you want to animate the CollisionShape2D's properties, you have to use an AnimationPlayer and Animation that changes those properties.
You could use the AnimatedSprite2D's signals, such as frame_changed, to perform actions.
DaveTheCoder do you recommend me to edit the spritesheet, or doing this? it's look a bit complicated.
Please explain your objective. It's not clear from your initial post.
DaveTheCoder my collisionshape2d doesn't follow the animation.
i just want to fit the character into the collision, or the collision into the animatedsprite2D.
Then an AnimatedSprite2D is not the right solution.
You can adjust the collision shape with an AnimationPlayer, but whether or not this is a good idea is another question entirely. If it's some kind of transition like the character is switching from a run to a crouch that could make sense, but for something like a run animation it's usually best to keep the collision shape the same and make sure the animation roughly matches it throughout. If whether a player can make a jump or gets hit by an enemy depends on which frame of the run cycle they happen to be in that's likely to be confusing and frustrating.
DaveTheCoder I will try to fix the sprite.
but another question...
I use a this to my animation function:
func play_anim(movement):
var dir = current_dir
var anim = $AnimatedSprite2D
if dir == "right":
anim.flip_h = true
if movement == 1:
anim.play("side_walk")
elif movement == 0:
anim.play("idle_back")
if dir == "left":
anim.flip_h = false
if movement == 1:
anim.play("side_walk")
elif movement == 0:
anim.play("idle_front")
if dir == "up":
anim.flip_h = true
if movement == 1:
anim.play("back_walk")
elif movement == 0:
anim.play("idle_back")
if dir == "down":
anim.flip_h = true
if movement == 1:
anim.play("front_walk")
elif movement == 0:
anim.play("idle_front")it will flip the collision too?
soundgnome It's look easier to fix the spritesheet, so I'm trying that.
It's worth it?
grimm_ it will flip the collision too?
Based on the documentation, that only flips the texture, not the node. Rotating the node 180 degrees should also rotate the collision shape, since that's a child of the node, but that may not have the result you want.
You could use two collision shapes, one for each flipped state, with one of them disabled. Toggle their disabled properties when you flip the sprite's texture.
grimm_ it will flip the collision too?
No but you can easily flip a node like a sprite by setting its scale.x value to -1. This will also flip (or: mirror around the origin) all its child nodes like for example a collider.
But just be careful. Generally speaking no matter if it's 3D modeling or messing with 2D/3D nodes like these in a game engine you should always be aware that changing the scale to something other than 1 might introduce some bizarre issues like unexpected physics or things like that.
In this case though it'll probably be fine.
