How to get the total number of frames in an AnimatedSprite2D animation? (Godot 4.2, 4.x)

[MaplewoodStreet]

Hi! My goal here is to pick a random frame from the frames in an AnimatedSprite2D. Right now there's only two frames, but I want to add more frames later on without having to go back into the code and change numbers around.

Right now, this is the code that works:

sprite.frame = randi_range(0,1)

This is the code I'm trying to get working:

sprite.frame = randi_range(0,sprite.sprite_frames.get_sprite_frames("default"))

(Most likely, I'll have to add a - 1 to the end of that randi_range(0,y) because it needs to reference the index of frames which starts at 0 instead of 1, not the literal amount of frames.

I've looked all around forums for an hour and tried a few different ideas, but I can't get anything that doesn't throw an error. Some people say sprite.frames_get_sprite_frames(). sprite.sprite_frames().get_sprite_frames(), and so on and none of it works. Most often it says that .frames or get_sprite_frames doesn't exist. Maybe it was in a previous version of Godot 4 or 3?

I'm not too sure what your error is, so please elaborate if I misunderstood your problem.

It seems like everything would instantly start working if you deleted "sprite." from all of your code. It worked for me.

frame = randi_range(0,sprite_frames.get_frame_count(animation)-1)

Also, remember to change "get_sprite_frames" to "get_frame_count".
Also also, simply typing "animation" gives the current animation that it's using.

@lemu_kymoh I'll put the exact code I'm using. (I made things less specific for the sake of the original post.)

@onready var sprPlanet : AnimatedSprite2D = $sprPlanet

...

func ANIMATION_FRAME(): #  choose a frame from sprPlanet ranging from 0 to the number of how many frames there are.
	sprPlanet.frame = randi_range(0,sprPlanet.sprite_frames.get_frame_count("planet_types") - 1)

Well as it turns out you're right! It worked. I'm not really sure what went wrong with the other tutorials...
