How can I restart the same animation while it is currently playing? In Godot 3.0.6 I could just call play and the animation would start again. As a workaround I use the following code (but sadly it breaks the blending)

if anim_player.current_animation == "attack":
    anim_player.stop(true)
anim_player.play("attack", 0.2, 1.0)

Use seek

anim_player.seek(0, true)

i get this error when i used seek

E 0:05:36.942 seek: Condition "!playback.current.from" is true.
<C++ Source> scene/animation/animationplayer.cpp:1331 @ seek()
GameRules.gd:20 @ stopwiggles()
GameRules.gd:40 @ onbutton_pressed()

This happens if you're not playing the animation before seeking. Calling play() before sets current_animation. If the animation isn't set to play automatically current_animation defaults to '[Stop]'
