Sprite node that contains multiple textures as frames to play for animation.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

**AnimatedSprite2D** is similar to the :ref:`Sprite2D<class_Sprite2D>` node, except it carries multiple textures as animation frames. Animations are created using a :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource, which allows you to import image files (or a folder containing said files) to provide the animation frames for the sprite. The :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource can be configured in the editor via the SpriteFrames bottom panel.

- :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` **get_animation**\ (\ )

The current animation from the :ref:`sprite_frames<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_sprite_frames>` resource. If this value is changed, the :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` counter and the :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` are reset.

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_centered:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **centered** = ``true`` :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_centered>`

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_centered**\ (\ )

If ``true``, texture will be centered.

\ **Note:** For games with a pixel art aesthetic, textures may appear deformed when centered. This is caused by their position being between pixels. To prevent this, set this property to ``false``, or consider enabling :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/2d/snap/snap_2d_vertices_to_pixel<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/2d/snap/snap_2d_vertices_to_pixel>` and :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/2d/snap/snap_2d_transforms_to_pixel<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/2d/snap/snap_2d_transforms_to_pixel>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **flip_h** = ``false`` :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_flip_h>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_flip_h**\ (\ value\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>`\ )
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_flipped_h**\ (\ )

If ``true``, texture is flipped horizontally.

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **frame** = ``0`` :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_frame**\ (\ value\: :ref:`int<class_int>`\ )
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_frame**\ (\ )

The displayed animation frame's index. Setting this property also resets :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>`. If this is not desired, use :ref:`set_frame_and_progress()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_set_frame_and_progress>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_offset:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **offset** = ``Vector2(0, 0)`` :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_offset>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_offset**\ (\ value\: :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>`\ )

- |void| **set_speed_scale**\ (\ value\: :ref:`float<class_float>`\ )
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_speed_scale**\ (\ )

The speed scaling ratio. For example, if this value is ``1``, then the animation plays at normal speed. If it's ``0.5``, then it plays at half speed. If it's ``2``, then it plays at double speed.

If set to a negative value, the animation is played in reverse. If set to ``0``, the animation will not advance.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_sprite_frames:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` **sprite_frames** :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_sprite_frames>`

- :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` **get_sprite_frames**\ (\ )

The :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource containing the animation(s). Allows you the option to load, edit, clear, make unique and save the states of the :ref:`SpriteFrames<class_SpriteFrames>` resource.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_get_playing_speed:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **get_playing_speed**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_get_playing_speed>`

Returns the actual playing speed of current animation or ``0`` if not playing. This speed is the :ref:`speed_scale<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_speed_scale>` property multiplied by ``custom_speed`` argument specified when calling the :ref:`play()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` method.

Returns a negative value if the current animation is playing backwards.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_is_playing:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_playing**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_is_playing>`

Returns ``true`` if an animation is currently playing (even if :ref:`speed_scale<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_speed_scale>` and/or ``custom_speed`` are ``0``).

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_pause:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **pause**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_pause>`

Pauses the currently playing animation. The :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` and :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` will be kept and calling :ref:`play()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` or :ref:`play_backwards()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards>` without arguments will resume the animation from the current playback position.

See also :ref:`stop()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_stop>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **play**\ (\ name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` = &"", custom_speed\: :ref:`float<class_float>` = 1.0, from_end\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>` = false\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>`

Plays the animation with key ``name``. If ``custom_speed`` is negative and ``from_end`` is ``true``, the animation will play backwards (which is equivalent to calling :ref:`play_backwards()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards>`).

If this method is called with that same animation ``name``, or with no ``name`` parameter, the assigned animation will resume playing if it was paused.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **play_backwards**\ (\ name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` = &""\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play_backwards>`

Plays the animation with key ``name`` in reverse.

This method is a shorthand for :ref:`play()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_play>` with ``custom_speed = -1.0`` and ``from_end = true``, so see its description for more information.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_set_frame_and_progress:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **set_frame_and_progress**\ (\ frame\: :ref:`int<class_int>`, progress\: :ref:`float<class_float>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_set_frame_and_progress>`

Sets :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` the :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` to the given values. Unlike setting :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>`, this method does not reset the :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>` to ``0.0`` implicitly.

\ **Example:** Change the animation while keeping the same :ref:`frame<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame>` and :ref:`frame_progress<class_AnimatedSprite2D_property_frame_progress>`:


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var current_frame = animated_sprite.get_frame()
    var current_progress = animated_sprite.get_frame_progress()
    animated_sprite.play("walk_another_skin")
    animated_sprite.set_frame_and_progress(current_frame, current_progress)



.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_stop:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **stop**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_stop>`

Stops the currently playing animation. The animation position is reset to ``0`` and the ``custom_speed`` is reset to ``1.0``. See also :ref:`pause()<class_AnimatedSprite2D_method_pause>`.
