animating the balloon disappearing

[moonwirer]

to make the balloon look a little nicer, i added an animation for when the balloon appears on screen. now i want to have one for it leaving, but i can't find anywhere in the code where i can successfully run it. the closest i found was in ExampleBalloon.cs (i'm using c#), but calling any animations there doesn't work, obviously since this is just before the balloon is removed from the scene.

so how/where can i implement this animation?

I'd look at binding to the DialogueEnded signal in the same file you're triggering your dialogue: https://github.com/nathanhoad/godot_dialogue_manager/blob/main/docs%2FCSharp.md#signals

isn't there any other ways to do this, the dialogue isn't triggered all from one place and honestly i have no clue how to use these signals

Signals will be the best way, as that's what the dialogue manager returns when it's done. I don't think location matters, as long as you bind to the DialogueManager object, so just pop the snippet in the C# docs wherever is convenient, perhaps _ready, and the signal will go through even if the dialogue is called and finished later on. From there populate the function and you should be good to go. Signals are also a great design paradigm so I'd definitely encourage you to learn more about them.
