I am trying to add a animation for a icon that gets triggered when Global.emeralds =127 and rings = 50 or >50 but I can't get it to work

In HUD.TSCN, alongside the icon, Make an animationPlayer for it. Then, in the HUD script, making an @onready var iconAnim and make it reference the animaion player for the icon, then, in the player script, in func get_ring(), after the line "ringChannel = int(!ringChannel)", you want to check:

  if Global.hud: #If the HUD Exists
  	if Global.hud.iconAnim.current_animation != "Super" and (
  	Global.emeralds > 126 and rings > 49 and !isSuper): #and Ring and Emerald count > 0
  		Global.hud.iconAnim.play("Super")

That's all you need to do to get that working. BUT, you will want to add other checks to func hit_player and near the start of _func process in Air.gd where Super Toggling is handled to reset the animation. I'll leave that as a learning exercise for you.

It works but the only issue is that the animation is going to be playing every time I get a ring

Make sure you copied everything correctly, this code is exactly what I'm using in Sonic 2: Retold where it works fine.

And no, it won't. Look where it says: "if Global.hud.iconAnim.current_animation != "Super""
If the animation name == "Super", then the condition is not met so nothing happens. You just need to make sure your animation is set to loop.

Is there a checkpoint set at the ring?

[Raptorq1]

like what do you mean

[r6915ee]

Does the Warp Ring set the player to respawn at the location of the Warp Ring, similar to a Star Post?

[Raptorq1]

Yes

The most logical assumption I can gather from this is that Global.emeralds is set at a time after the point where the node has called _ready(). You might need to reposition the value being set somewhere where it's best applicable, but at an earlier point.
