How to switch scene after an animation finishes?

Question

I am trying to switch the scene after the screen fades to black.

`extends TextureButton

onready var anim = $Fade/AnimationPlayer

func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("mouseleft"):
anim.play("fadeblack")

anim.connect("animation_finished", self ,"_on_animation_finish")

func _on_animation_finish():
get_tree().change_scene("res://Node2D.tscn")`

Answer 1

1. Make sure your animation doesn't loop.
2. animation_finished passes a StringName parameter which needs to be handled. Change
   func _on_animation_finish(): to func _on_animation_finish(_anim_name):
   The _ in front of _anim_name tells Godot that you intend to throw away the variable, so it's important, but the rest of the variable can be named whatever you want.

If that still doesn't work, then instead of anim.connect try anim.animation_finished.connect.

Btw, you can also await signals, which sometimes is much cleaner.

anim.play("fadeblack")
await anim.animation_finished
get_tree().change_scene("res://Node2D.tscn")`

Just don't do await inside of _process

In this case I would probably just go with awaiting for the animation to finish.
