What is an AnimationTree?

Learn that AnimationTree is a state-machine animation manager.

What is AnimationTree?

AnimationTree is a Godot node that manages animations with state machines. It sits next to AnimationPlayer and decides which animation plays when. It organizes character movements with states and transitions.

var agac = $AnimationTree

Thanks to this node animations can be managed independently from code.

The state machine

A state machine is a structure where animations are organized as different states. Each state corresponds to an animation clip. Transitions between states are defined with rules in the AnimationTree editor.

var playback = agac.get("parameters/playback")

This structure organizes the flow of animations.

Exercise Connect the AnimationTree

In a script named AgacKurulum, define a variable named agac of type AnimationTree. In the _ready method assign the $AnimationTree node to this variable and print the text "Agac hazir" with print.

Show example solution

extends Node

var agac: AnimationTree

func _ready():
    agac = $AnimationTree
    print("Agac hazir")
