Tutorial: How to create melee attacks using AnimatedSprite! (Godot Engine 3.2) 

One small detail: For people having problems flipping their collisions to the left side, you can try using: if Input.is_action_pressed("right"): get_node("AttackArea").set_scale(Vector2(1, 1)) elif Input.is_action_pressed("left"): get_node("AttackArea").set_scale(Vector2(-1, 1)) Hope it helps, sorry for the trouble!

I finally found a person who teaches well. Thank you very much, helped me a lot

pal, i was about to give just up because i couldnt figure out how to make a animation finish without keeping the input just pressed. the answers i found where gross you just saved the day. thank you alot i wish you the best bro

This is perfect. I was wanting to do something simpler not needing the animation player...and this is the type of solution I had in mind!

Your enemy attack tutorial is very perfect, I was looking for it a lot and I couldn't find it, thanks! greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Thank you for this tutorial, I have been messing 3 days with the animation not playing correctly. Thanks to you I have finally fixed it.

thanks bro I was looking for this a long time THANK YOU

Great Godot content. Helped me so much thanks :)

I've been looking for this for HOURS! Nobody else could explain to me how to do it, and finally you did. Thank you! Now my frog can croak without messing the animations.

Thank you for this tutorial your teaching is so clear! Helped me figure out why my animation wouldn’t play correctly

I search for revolving my trouble with animation for days !! you save me thanks ! great viedo

This is a very very good tutorial! Thank you so much! Please upload more videos 😁👍

best one who explained attacks in godot thanks

I almost never leave comments, but just wanted to stop and say, you are amazing at teaching, you solved my problem. Thanks a lot.

It helped a lot thanks and God bless you,it was really amazing and simple but you kinda took a long time to explain 😄 anyway thanks again

Very well explained video, thank you!

Thank you very much! I was losing my mind, trying to figure out how to do this

I work on my game project in godot and .... You are my saviour I really appreciate you .... all my greatings to you from egypt

Dope video hommie

thanks buddy it was very simple to follow and very clear :)

dude i love you so much, ive been stuck on this stupid thing for like 10 hours, i can't thank you enough

Thanks I was stuck in this part. Great tutorial

Awesome tutorial!

Awesome tutorial, you are a great teacher :) you deserve WAY more then 500 subs, but I am one of those subs! 👍

you saved my life... i was thinking of leaving the idea of making my own game because of this..thank you sooo much

Thanks for your great contents

Thank you !! Great tut !!!

Thanks you sir, This is what I was looking for

You're amazing. helped me a lot thanks!!

thank you a lot, very simple and to the point!!

Thx for this simple good video 🙏

Amigo amo este video, mil gracias, me has ayudado mucho ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

This is is basically what I used to do back in Unity and it's almost the same in Godot which is a good thing.

Nice tutorial

You can skip the intro at 1:00 :)

I think the animation player is very complicated, and also, i wasn't wanting to redo everything i had done, so thank you so much for this tutorial, I'll try it as soon as possible

what a life saver!

This tutorial is amazing! I want to add an attack 2, attack3 . All separate keys but I've already used the animation finished and signals how would I go about adding more attacks to this script? I've tried doing this tutorial multiple times for each attack but I can't get it to work. Cud u do a further tutorial for this? Thanks

Because i didn't know how to turn the Area2D in the other direction, i created a copy of the area on the other side of my sprite, and added the same code using the name of the copy(CollisionShape2D and CollisionShape2D2), it worked 😅

This is a great video! Can you do a video if where you were top rpg with all 8 directions?

I love your chanel, ths for help

very good video man, I'm glad you use animatedsprite because most things are just animation player and I think it's kinda a time waste

Thanks man

I feel like I have WAY more control over what is actually happening with Animated Sprite. Sure the animation player can do a lot more. It can alter pretty much any number from a node. Problem is if something breaks with that I will have NO IDEA what broke or how to fix it. With the Animated sprite I can just bypass using the .play() function entirely if I want too. Because I can tell Godot what frame and animation to play. Its awesome.

Thank you, great tutorial :) that what I was thinking about, how to use animated sprite with mlea attack :)

Thanks alot!!!

this doesn't seem to work well with the Combo system if using an state machine only the first hit works, I have no idea how make each hit count

Thx 🙏 understood how to am gonna script my player in few minutes

HELLO: 3, how could I do what you do but with another movement system than yours: c I don't know what to do mine is like this func _physics_process (delta): control S () movement() spritedirection_loop () damage_loop () if moverirection! = Vector2 (0,0): anim_switch ("walk") plus: anim_switch ("inactive") function controls (): LEFT var = Input.is_action_pressed ("ui_left") RIGHT var = Input.is_action_pressed ("ui_right") var UP = Input.is_action_pressed ("ui_up") var DOWN = Input.is_action_pressed ("ui_down") movedirection.x = -int (LEFT) + int (RIGHT) movedirection.y = -int (UP) + int (DOWN) Should I erase everything and do it like you do? the truth if I delete mine tends to do many things that are outside the attacks Help please I'm stuck here

Muito bom ótima aula!!

Very 👌

Very great video!! It helped me a lot but there are two main Problems I have. I can't flip the side of the collision shape (even not with the tips in the comments or with the command "$Attackarea/collisionshape2d.flip_h = true/false") I'm also havin issues with attacking while jumping. in that case my layer gets stuck in jumping animation and I have to click attack to walk again. I would be very happy if you could make a second part of this video where you explain how to improve the script with jumping and change attack side.

Thank You Sir ^_^

Thank you for the tutorial! Is there a way to make dynamic collision for attacks? Like it was in Weaponlord: sword is moving during animation => collision rect changes for every frame.

Oh I had no idea I was steam friends with a somewhat-popular youtuber. Sweet!

I hope your channel grows alottttttt ilyyyy More tutorials pls Can you make tutorials on enemy ai and boss levels Like If I enter the boss stage Entrance and exit closes it shouldn't open till I beat the boss plssssss

kinda wish i found this a little earlier 😅i have the longest setup for animations, since i had issue with the attack and idle animation being called at the same time and with the same if statements, countering eachother. gonna try this one next time, looks, a lot more simple and easy on the eyes when looking through the script

ok....very nice and so on lol.....but how do you attack while running ?

So I ran into a problem with this: Basically, I had to explicitly set the attack area's collision shape to be enabled ($attackarea/CollisionShape2d.disabled = false) in the if statement for when the attack button is pressed in order to get it to work. It would stay enabled if I didn't do that. Other than that, there were a few bumps in the road I ran into, but I managed to fix it before I wrote this comment. It was really messing with my head that I couldn't get the attack animation to play entirely, but then I realized I forgot the if statement. I also couldn't get the signal for an area entering the enemy to work until I realized my collision layers/masks weren't set properly (I had them set differently from the default because I had some code already in my particular enemy to make it also "die" when you jump on its head) I'm mentioning this here in case anyone else runs into the same problems I did. Everything else about this tutorial is spot on!

Great Tutorial. But I'm facing a problem now, the player character is passing through the enemy and their Collison is not being detected, only the attack in the sword area. Any idea about this ?

What if I want to activate the collison later? is it possible? for my attacking animation I need to activate it on the 5th frame.

So I have a problem... I don't know if anyone has run into this but. When I try to set up the death animation it stops the enemy from dying.

I have a problem, when my character turns to the left, his position changes and moves away from the Collisionshape a bit, the same happens with the attack animation, can someone help me?

What megaman series is that you using one of the Weil guardian ?

thnx

How do I make it also attack the left activating a collision on the left and without activating the right?

Hello, dear Dev! Your tutorial is brilliant, and I have one question! So, when I press jump and after the press enter, what is my attack button, my little hero starts to play the fall animation when he's on the ground. After I press enter again, it jump to the idle animation, so this is a really little bug, but it's here. :))) What can I do against that?

how do I make it so if my player hits again after he hit once it will change his hitting animation.

what condition should i put to flip animation of attack acc to direction in which player is facing ?

Guys what if I using AnimationPlayer,6:31 what I will change in code animation ?

Please help. What method would you use to flip_h the AttackArea(area2d) when the parent flip_h. Otherwise, when my sprite turns to face the opposite direction, the area2d collision is behind it. It seems the area2d does not have a flip_h, so how would you fix this?

How can I do that if my animated_sprite of the player is flip_h, the globalposition of the area = the left player?

how to talk and attack in same time? is that doable with animated sprite node?

If anyone wants too to attack while running just type "if isAttacking == false:" before playing the run animation. like so if isAttacking == false: $AnimatedSprite.flip_h = true $AnimatedSprite.play("Run")

hi need help i cant see collision shape 2d in area 2d

how do you make it face the other way the attackarea collisionshape

can you show us how you coded the jump slash?

This was great, and I spent like 10mins trying to figure out why mine errored every time, until I realised get_node is case sensitive, DOH! My Question however, how to I get the Attack Area to enable at a certain sprite frame ?

Can i make the AttackArea change with every frame of the attack?

weiter so crack

Hi, great video! I'm trying to do a fighting game so I need to use the hitbox on an exact frame. I need the hitbox to show only on frame 2 of an attack, for example. Can you help me, please? Thank you!

my player freezes when attack anim is finished.. signals not working extends KinematicBody2D const UP = Vector2(0,-1) const GRAVITY = 12 const MAXFALLSPEED = 200 const MAXSPEED = 100 const ACCEL = 10 const JUMPSPEED = 200 var motion = Vector2() var facing_right = true var isAttacking = false func _ready(): pass func _physics_process(delta): motion.y += GRAVITY if motion.y > MAXFALLSPEED: motion.y = MAXFALLSPEED if facing_right == true: $Sprite.scale.x = 1 else: $Sprite.scale.x = -1 motion.x = clamp(motion.x,-MAXSPEED,MAXSPEED) if Input.is_action_pressed("right") && isAttacking == false: motion.x += ACCEL facing_right = true $AnimationPlayer.play("Run") elif Input.is_action_pressed("left") && isAttacking == false: motion.x -= ACCEL facing_right = false $AnimationPlayer.play("Run") else: motion.x = lerp(motion.x,0,0.2) if isAttacking == false: $AnimationPlayer.play("Idle") if Input.is_action_just_pressed("attack"): $AnimationPlayer.play("Attack") isAttacking = true if is_on_floor(): if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"): motion.y -= JUMPSPEED if Input.is_action_just_pressed("attack"): $AnimationPlayer.play("Attack") if !is_on_floor(): if motion.y < 0: $AnimationPlayer.play("Jump") elif motion.y > 0: $AnimationPlayer.play("Fall") motion = move_and_slide(motion, UP) func _on_AnimationPlayer_animation_finished(anim_name): if $AnimationPlayer.current_animation == "Attack": isAttacking = false THIS IS MY CODE

How set-up collisionshape2d in 4 direction?

OK, This is what I'm looking for.

hello i am having a problem when i press x it dosent show the animation and i even assinged the attack to x can u plz give me the code thank u and can u give the mega man assets plzzz

how do i get the little guy im new?

the movement= move_and_slide line is showing error that only 0 arguments are allowed but recieved 2

How does one make a walking attack?

I was having a problem where I would push the button and the first frame of my attack animation would play before my character locked up. Some testing saw that isAttacking was returning 'true', so the input was being received properly. Here's how I solved it: func get_input(): movement = Vector2() if Input.is_action_pressed("left") and isAttacking == false: movement.x = -speed $Sprite.play("walk") elif Input.is_action_pressed("right") and isAttacking == false: movement.x = speed $Sprite.play("walk") else: if isAttacking == true: pass else: movement.x = 0 $Sprite.play("idle") This is my movement code. If left or right are pressed, walking animations are played (making a fighting game so don't need to flip sprites yet). The change I made was on what happens otherwise. I added an additional conditional that checks if isAttacking is returning true, and passes if it is. Otherwise, it plays "idle". This extra level of prevention for the return to the idle animation was enough to solve the problem. The comments on this question paired well with AntiDev's advice in helping solve the problem: godotengine.org/qa/53696/the-attack-animation-doesnt-finish-help-me

My slash animation is looping.

hm, this doesn't seem to be a good solution since your area is open as long the animation is playing, which means another object can get hit multiple times.

What is the difference between putting == instead of =???

When i pressed the attack and the jump button in the same time, it stucks on the jump animation Uhh how to fix it? Thanks

amigo ahora que cuando brinque pueda golpear y no se detenga

omg mmz and mmzx mentioned

Thanks for your tutorials is very very good and helpful but my enemy is a kenematicBody2D so how I can do the same but with this type of element ?

I need help, the animation after writing the code and testing it, when I type the attack key instead of stopping it continues, and I no longer have it pressed, what do I do?

Hi! How do I make it so when the character is turned to the left, the collision box changes it's position?

Hi can you make tutorial about enemy following player, attacking player, and make the player die if you make this, this would be soo much helpful!! i like your video btw
