I've got a question concerning finite state machines for my first Godot platformer (see article).


See, I have a game project and someone in the Godot Discord server suggested using finite state machines.

Well, my main character (her name is Natalie) has (aside from standing still) sprites for walking, jumping, crouching, and climbing ropes. However, she has four animations for kicking (her main attack)--standing still, airborne, crouching, and clingingn to climbing ropes. Same for subweapons when I make them.

So, for using a finite state machines, is it possible to just have a "kick" state (and later a "use subweapon" state), and put in the code which specific animation depending on the situation? Or do I have to bite the bullet and make an individual kick and subweapon pose for each?

Just wanted to see if I can get by with the "enum" setup of FSM, or needing the "node" setup of FSM.

Any help is much appreciated.

Working more on Orphan Simulator, progress is coming along very, very well! Everyone think's Jack is directly based off Jevil, but truth be told it was completely coincidence and I just wanted to make a funny jack in the box enemy.

While I try to get some kinks out of my game project, here are some Super Mario 3 arts to keep things fresh. Here are arts of Worlds 5 and 6 of said game. (You can put stickers on them if you want to.)

Heres a video on the game so far the music is pretty bad (I know) and i changed the UI a bit to looks better i hope... got any ideas for it?

Keeping things fresh while I work on my project, so here are the first two worlds of Super Mario 3. (I invite anyone who wants to sticker the arts.)
