In this section we will create characters. Accompanied by State Machine with Animation Tree with Godot

Before that, please download the Asset for me.

Here we will use Spritesheet.

Figure

Sprite

First, we will remove the image of the character into Sprite as usual.

Notice the Inspector column (Inspector)

There will be VFrames and HFrame who have done with tutorial first.

Vframes is the length of spritesheet
HFrames is vertical of spritesheet

Here:

Hframes equals: 13
Vframes equals: 16

After the set is finished, you will see

After you finish the 2 sets, you will see the small player as usual.

Collisionshape2d

You set Collisionshape as a picture because this is the Topdown RPG game, not the first type of game like tutorial.

Animation Player

You create node animation player

Then create a new Animation will include:

IDLE: Stand still
Run: run
Attack: attack
Dead: Dead

Then next to create a new track for me in Animation Idle

Then select Sprite

Then select Frames

Then right -click to select Insert Key and then Insert so that it is equal to the frames number of Animation

Here I will let the image have the frames. I don’t know what other engines, but Godot is like this

Then I will insert key equal to frames numbers

In idle, it is 12 so I will insert 12 key

You can use the bottom bar to adjust the small level

Use the bottom to adjust the track time

So I finished adjusting, you do the same.

State Machine with Animation Tree

State Machine: Means a state -owned machine, with State Machine you can manage your actions easier and the State Machine is different from Finite Machine. At Godot, there is node as animationtree that makes it easier to perform State Machine

You add node animationtree for me

In the place, Treeroot selects Nodestatemachine

At the Assginplayer

Then right -clicked all the newly created animations

Here then

Pink: Connect (arrow helps signal transmission)

Green: delete

Purple: When there is this, the Animation will run first at the beginning

Orange: Animation last just need to run animation with this = stop

Here I will connect idle with other animations

As the picture above, IDLE will connect via Attack, IDLE can transmit data via Attack but it cannot be transmitted because Attack does not have the plan to tell idle.

As the picture above, the two sides were connected to each other. So when we are in Idle, click attack it will run Attack and after the Attack ends it will run back to idle.

Please connect with the rest. There is a dead, only connect from Idle to only because when you die and then return IDLE to do: D?

I will assign a start in Idle so that when you boot, the player will stand still, right? So when standing still it will run Animation Idle. But when you first ran the game that the player was standing still and running the Animtion Run or Attack.

And assign End at Dead. When dying, what else do you run: D.

So it has finished the Animation Tree is the code

Code

Here, we will use an object -oriented code.

Create yourself the enum containing State machine (Status neck) Including IDLE, RUN, Attack, Dead and 1 status will be equal to IDLE.

Then next we must determine each state when acting. Here I will use match (like case/switch) and change the name laydau nhapvao wall trangthai_move

Next I need to access Animatinotree To be able to run Animation and turn on Animationtree Then I will have a statement:

Then next I have to check if the player is standing still, it will run Animation Idle if not standing still means moving, it will run the animation moving and check when the player moves to the right it will rotate the right and when the player move left, it will turn to the left.
