State machine for control of animations.

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

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

Contains multiple nodes representing animation states, connected in a graph. Node transitions can be configured to happen automatically or via code, using a shortest-path algorithm. Retrieve the :ref:`AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback<class_AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback>` object from the :ref:`AnimationTree<class_AnimationTree>` node to control it programmatically.

\ **Example:**\ 


.. tabs::

 .. code-tab:: gdscript

    var state_machine = $AnimationTree.get("parameters/playback")
    state_machine.travel("some_state")

 .. code-tab:: csharp

    var stateMachine = GetNode<AnimationTree>("AnimationTree").Get("parameters/playback") as AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback;
    stateMachine.Travel("some_state");

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **allow_transition_to_self** = ``false``

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

- void **set_allow_transition_to_self** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_allow_transition_to_self** **(** **)**

If ``true``, allows teleport to the self state with :ref:`AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback.travel<class_AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback_method_travel>`. When the reset option is enabled in :ref:`AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback.travel<class_AnimationNodeStateMachinePlayback_method_travel>`, the animation is restarted. If ``false``, nothing happens on the teleportation to the self state.
