i was told my jump animation isn’t working because the animatedSprite was playing my idle/walk animation whilst i play the air animation and that i need to implement a way to detect if the player is in the air and make it not play the walk or idle animation while they are.

i tried this piece of code from a previous qna but no go:

var jump_ani_playing = false

... # The following is in your physicsprocess function:...

    if !is_on_floor() and !jump_ani_playing:
        $Sprite.play("JUMP")
        jump_ani_playing = true

it just made my character play the idle animation in mid air, as opposed to my previoud stuck on the first frame of the jump animation problem.

You should specify the “UP” direction like so:

const UP = Vector2(0, -1)
motion = move_and_slide(motion, UP)

You may also read the “up_direction” specification in the docs.

Good luck!
