Ok, so this is pretty straight forward. I’ve been having trouble trying to make the game wait until a animation is finished playing. I tried several things, including the yield function but I cannot make it work. Please, if anyone can help me out!

Below you can see the part of my code I’m working on

extends KinematicBody2D

var motion = Vector2()

func _ready():
   #var y = _physics_process(delta)
   #y.resume()
   print ("starting")

func _physics_process(delta):
  ...
  ...
if is_on_floor():
	
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_up"):
           $AnimatedSprite.play("jump")
           yield(get_node("AnimatedSprite"), "finished") #<-Supposed to wait
           motion.y += JUMP_HEIGHT #makes player go up		
	
   else:
		$AnimatedSprite.play("idle")

You have to connect animation signal / finish event to a function of your choice as shown here

In the scene tree, select the animation object, then in the node signal select the animation finished event and connect it to a script.

voila !
