Sync and queuing

Learn animation sync and queuing.

Animation synchronization

Synchronization makes multiple animations play at the same time and in harmony. The sync settings inside AnimationTree align clip timings. This way transitions look natural.

player.play("yurume", 0.3)

The second parameter sets the transition duration.

Queue and advance()

The queue() method adds the next animation to the queue. advance() fast forwards the animation and skips a certain duration. A queue makes animations play in order and without breaks.

player.queue("ziplama")

The queue mechanism is very useful for consecutive movements.

Exercise Create an animation queue

In a script named KuyrukKurulumu, assign the $AnimationPlayer node to a variable named player in _ready. Add the animation to the queue with player.queue("ziplama") and print the text "Kuyrukta bekliyor" with print.

Show example solution

extends Node

func _ready():
    var player = $AnimationPlayer
    player.queue("ziplama")
    print("Kuyrukta bekliyor")
