Couldn't play animation from the node because it says there is no animation. But there is, i don't know whats wrong.

Question

I'm new in Godot and am doing a flappy bird tutorial on youtube. I tried to call the animation "fade_out" from the animationplayer, but it gives out null instance. But I already made the animation and it is saved already. What's wrong here?

The screenshots are missing. You can include code in your post by clicking the "{ }"-icon in the editor on this page.

I could load the picture by right clicking it, but somehow it doesn't show right here automatically...

Sounds like you're not getting the right object. Or rather: any object. Make sure, the node path is correct, e.g. if you have a scene consisting of a parent node (where the script is attached) and it's child of type AnimationPlayer called "A", your script should include:

get_node("A").play("fade_out")

Ah yes thank you. Turns out its not referencing the right scene. I forgot to autoload the scene globally.
