trigger animation on entered Area2D

Question

All I want is to trigger an animation called "dead" on the player after he enters an Area2D.

So I got this code on the Area2D:

extends Area2D
func onDeadZonebodyentered(body):
if body.isingroup("player"):
body.dead()

And this code on the player:
func dead():
$AnimatedSprite.play("dead")
yield($AnimatedSprite, "animationfinished")
gettree().change_scene("res://scenes/screens/GameOverScreen.tscn")

even though godot is waiting until the animation is finished before loading the next level the animation itself is not playing
I just don't get this one :D

When you running game if you press remote and go to player node can you see the amimation change?

Also how does the animation look like?

Hey, thx for your questions:

1. I can not see the animation changed, because the player character is its own scene and the animated sprite node is not the root node of it.

2. It is a simple dead animation that should be triggered as soon as the character steps into a trap. I also trigger a reload of the scene after the animation is finished, which also works. It is just that the animation itself is not played somehow.

Yey I got it. :D the problem was that I had a default state which contained an idle animation that overwrote my dead animation. i fixed that with an boolean :D thx for all help
