StateMachinePlayback

Learn state transitions with StateMachinePlayback.

What is StateMachinePlayback?

StateMachinePlayback is the structure that controls the state machine inside AnimationTree. With the travel() method you transition from one state to another. This structure manages the order and transitions of animations.

playback.travel("kosma")

State machine transitions are defined independently from game logic.

Transition rules

Transition rules decide when to move from one state to another. In the AnimationTree editor these rules are defined visually. When travel() is called the state machine follows the most suitable path.

playback.travel("ziplama")

Correct transitions make animations look smooth.

Exercise Perform a state transition

In a script named GecisKurulumu, assign the $AnimationTree node to a variable named agac in _ready, assign the result of agac.get("parameters/playback") to a variable named playback. Transition with playback.travel("kosma") and print the text "Durum degisti" with print.

Show example solution

extends Node

func _ready():
    var agac = $AnimationTree
    var playback = agac.get("parameters/playback")
    playback.travel("kosma")
    print("Durum degisti")

Test yourself

What does the travel() method do on StateMachinePlayback?
- It resets all states
- It creates a new animation clip
- It transitions from one state to another
- It sets the animation speed
Show answer

It transitions from one state to another — The travel() method transitions from the current state to the target state and applies the transition rules in between.

Write the transition method

    playback.____("kosma")

Show answer

    playback.travel("kosma")
